About a year or so ago I bought an A90f+ 19" Viewsonic CRT ( http://www.viewsonic.com/support/desktopdisplays/crtmonitors/aseries/a90f/ ) , everything has been fine and great until about 8 or 9 months later, where my eyes have been constantly hurting//sore//tired etc from the refresh rate.

Just a few days ago I moved, and have noticed an odd flicker with the monitor at 85hz to 70hz, the problem seems to stop at 60hz, but thats an eye strainer in itself..

I can reduce the constrast all the way, then turn up the brightness all the way and, if displayed on a white background see quickly vibrating moire effects, the effect can be reduced but its pretty persistant at 70-75hz as in, theres a very noticeable vibrating action going on, but its less of a problem yet still existant at 85hz (and still hurts my eyes), at 60 hz its pretty much gone, but then I notice the refresh rate itself. I think its damaged my eyes, heh.

Anyone encountered this type of problem? I havent noticed it until I moved, so I dont know if its been damaged, or if its the problem thats been messing with my eyes since a few months ago.

Anyone encountered this type of problem? My only guess is that the monitor might be going out. As I dont see how it could have been damaged during the move.... but I guess thats possible..

At lower resolutions of like 800x600 at 60hz theres a waving action going on..

comments please.
