Ok here is my issue, just got my Dell2005 and it is Awesome, no dead pix, no backlight issues like others seem to have had, but I just noticed that on the left side of the screen there are what appears to be wavy horizontal lines that scroll from top to bottom. It kinda looks like a florecent light when it is warming up... any ideas what this could be? I am using the DVI cable that came with the monitor, and I am running a 6800GT.

Could be a few things. Try a VGA cable and see if you still have the problem, or possibly even another DVI cable.

What you are describing sounds a lot like AC leakage from some internal source.

Double check the AC outlet your system is plugged into as well, check for proper grounding.

Just some quick thoughts
 
great tips, will try them out asap in the morning... I did just move my pc down to the basement I'll have to check if it is even grounded at the outlet :)
