I bought a new LCD Monitor this weekend (Westinghouse L2220HW) and I started testing it out with games, DVDs, etc. Anyway, I started testing it with web video from NBC.com & Hulu.com and the first thing I noticed was that there was tearing or flicker at the top part of the screen... It was more noticeable when there was high movement/action. It was happening with both IE and Firefox.

At first I assumed it was happening because of the new monitor. So I brought out my CRT (FW900) which runs at 100hz and while the tearing was still there, it was less obvious. I didn’t notice any tearing while watching DVDs so I’m assuming it’s a web browser issue.

So, does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to solve it in WinXP? Maybe a certain web browser or software update that fixes it? I’m eventually going to have to upgrade to LCD when my CRT dies, and this is going to be a huge issue for me since I watch quite a bit of TV on my web browser.

Thanks.
