Hi,

I am currently utilizing a dual monitor setup under WindowsXP consisting of a CTL 910TF (19") and a Sony Trinitron Multiscan15sf (15"). Now, the problem that occurs is that the 15" causes screen interference on the 19". It causes flickering and discoloration if the refresh rates are asynchronous, and it cuases a horizontal scanning line if they are synchronous. The 19" is being pushed by a Hercules Prophet II GeForce2 64mb, and the 15" by a Matrox Millenium 4mb. Any ideas how to solve this? They are currently positioned next to each other.

Set the refresh rates further apart if possible.
Also, make it so that the backs of the monitors are as far apart as possible.

Farther appart? That caused distortion. :) Trying moving backs angled away now, I'll get back to you.

I angled the fronts towards one another and the backs farther from each other, and that reduced the scan lines. The refresh rates need to be synched though or else distortion occurs. A little bit of discoloration still occurs, but I think it's from the back of the 19" inching closer to one of the fifteens'.
