I just picked up a Samsung 226BW A panel yesterday, and I noticed that on many sites that have a large block of a solid color, there is some sort of problem.
For example, my YouTube account profile has a mostly dark blue background. When my monitor displays it, you can occasionally see it "flicker" - a bunch of lines, almost like a TV trying to tune itself to the right station still, will ripple throughout the monitor. It is like a wave of lines that just keeps flicker/rippling upwards. Of course, it's not constant. It will do it, then stop for a bit, then start up again.
I've noticed it on YouTube, this site (although it's much harder to see here because of all the lines), NewEgg, and many other sites. I even noticed it on MS Word (the grey part ripples). However, when I go to fill my screen with a solid color from an LCD testing site, there is no side of any rippling/flickering for all the colors.
Why would this ripple be apparent on some sites, but not when the entire screen is filled with a solid color?
This is very strange to me. Could it be that the monitor is a dud? Or perhaps my video card is too weak? By the way, my Samsung 226BW is hooked up via VGA to my laptop which has an Intel integrated graphics card, serving as an extended monitor. So my video card is providing the image to both my laptop screen as well as the Samsung screen simultaneously.
Btw, if it matters, I followed BeHardware's instructions and applied their color profile that is downloadable from their site for the A panel.
I also do not notice any rippling in pure black or pure white. Colors I do notice it on the most are grey (almost any shade) and a certain shade of blue (bluish-grey).
