Hi there,
I have some questions about displays that I know some pro in here can handle. So here it goes.
I just purchased an HP a6642p desktop. 6gigs of Ram, 500gb hdd, on board video (intel 256mb), realtech audio (or whatever it's called), vista 64-bit home premium. Blazing fast for what I do.
Ok, the computer came with a flat panel monitor (of course). The HP w1907. 19", 1400x900 @ 60hertz. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/hp-w1907/4505-3174_7-32399889.html
I haven't had a desktop in ages (over 5 years). I used to build my own desktops and used CRT monitors because flat panel technology was expensive and the image quality wasn't good enough. (CRT offered better screen area resolutions and hertz rates for design work that I did.)
Here are my questions. I noticed right away when I set up the PC that as I moved me eyes around on the screen I could see the pixels [kind of] vibrating (for lack of a better term) for about .5 seconds before my eyes adjusted. Once my eyes adjust to the 'flicker' the pixels go away, until I move my eyes to another part of the screen then my eyes have to re-adjust again. (My mind "interprets" the image.) However, I notice that the pixel flicker is really annoying and is bothering me, and even contributing to headaches (I think).
What is causing me to see the pixel flicker for .5 seconds?
Is it the Hertz rate? (60)
Is it the Clock or Clock Phase? (I adjusted these using the HP software)
Is it the response time? (5-millisecond pixel response time)
Is it the pixel pitch? (0.258 mm)
I've always had a sensitivity to monitor flicker and other imperfections, so I realize that most other people (my wife included) don't even notice this pixel vibration.
Finally, I plan on buying a new monitor. What should I look for in a monitor to make sure that I don't have this problem?
What is a good flat panel with an EXTRA high resolution at a high refresh rate - assuming that's what is causing the problem.
Thanks in advance for your input and advice, I really appreciate it.
