I got a Samsung 225BW last week and I notice today that sometime, pixels flash when they try to display a certain color and if I move the picture, browser, or video windows to other part on the monitor, it still produce the flashing (but some parts don't). These pixels looks like stuck pixels in either green or red, but they just keep flashing.
Since they are flashing, I can't really take a picture, but you can imagine them as stuck pixels that flash.

I am running at the native resolution 1680 x 1050 32bit 60hz, using nVidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with both analog and digital cables connected.
 
I uninstall the nvidia driver and the monitor driver and remove the analog cable. After that I restart the computer to re-install all the drivers and now it has improved alot, but I still spoted one green pixel is still flashing...
 
Dude my 22" gamer just went through that... it was flashing green while playing G3 and would stop after a few minutes (maybe like 30 random pixels) I woke up this morning and the whole fookn screen was green unless I dropped the res down to 12x10 or lower.. My 2nd monitor is fine so I just rma to the egg... hopefully Ill get a new one and it wont happen again...
 
sorry to hear that.
That Samsung 225BW is my first LCD, and I can tell that it wasn't a very pleasant experience: exchanged twice, spending hours on the net to find similiar problems... :(

I forgot to mention that I also uninstalled both magicTune or whatever magic color thing and now it seems to be fine, I really hope it will last!!
