Monitor Problem - LG W2363D isn't working properly

[JCortezz]

Hi everyone, I just bought a LG W2363D (120hz monitor), and when I plugged it in some strange things happened:

As you can see, the whole left half of the monitor isn't working properly, there's some horizontal lines flickering in the right half and sometimes the whole monitor just goes black and comes back to that original state (as seen in the picture above) after a few seconds.

My video card is Nvidia 9600 GSO and i'm using the provided Dual Link DVI-D cable.

I tried unplugging the cable, turning the power off and then back on but nothing works.


At the moment i'm considering the following problems:

1) Monitor is faulty

2) The DVI-D cable is faulty.

3) The video card doesn't support the monitor somehow

When i unplug the DVI cable, it appears a message telling me the cable's not receiving any signal, but this time there's no flickering and the whole screen is working fine, which makes me believe it's the cable's fault.

I'm a little bit worried and could use any help. So, what do you guys think?

Real simple. Take it to a local pc shop and ask them to get a signal and that you will give them $5 dollars. Takes 10 seconds for them to hook it up.

Or better yet, a friend or family member

I had this monitor - it is very good, and is the only TN panel that looked really good and which was possible to use. Great times I had with it in bfbc2. Unfortunately it became plagued with dead pixels, on the 8th pixel I sold it. It was not available on the market any longer by that time...

Just tested it with an HDMI lead on my PS3 and the same thing happened (this time the right half wasn't working), which means the monitor is faulty. Thanks for the help
