I just bought a new monitor and I plugged the VGA into my laptop, but I am seeing some slight horizontal flickering throughout the screen. I was pretty sure the monitor was defective, but when I plugged it into my desktop it was fine. What could be causing this? Both my desktop and laptop use integrated video cards and are both up to date. I messed around with all the settings, resolutions, and refresh rates, and it still flickers on my laptop. Please help!

I used the same VGA cable for both. Oddly, the desktop would only allow me to go up to 16xx by 10xx even though the native resolution for the monitor is 1920x1080. Here is the monitor:

I use a 3 year old HP dv2500t, updated. My desktop is a cutom PC that was built a year or two ago. Both have integrated video. MY laptop uses the intel family chipset and the desktop is nvidia.
