Hi guys, wondering if anyone else is having this problem and can help me out. I have a new 2405fpw connected to an eVGA 6800gs via DVI @ 1920x1200. Occasionally I get a ~1" vertical band of scattered sparkling green pixels running up the left side of the monitor. It will most commonly show around the text in the start menu, the mouse pointer's shadow, and around text in the toolbar of Firefox. I tried switching to the DSUB but it doesn't help things. I tried calling Dell to see what's up, but they claim it's the GPU and won't offer any support. A bit of research revealed that this problem is not uncommon among Apple Cinema Display users whom I suppose have the same panel. Any ideas on this one?
 
Trying swapping out the video card with something else to see if thats the problem.
 
Might try swapping the DVI cable as well. Cheapo cables can cause problems. Of course, if you already have a good cable......??
