Just bought a VX2235wm

It is the same thing as the VX2240wm except it doesn't have the ipod dock. I upgraded from the VX922 and this thing is awesome. Great response time for a 22'' and the colors are beautiful.

I am slightly worried about something though, and need some advise.

Firstly the monitor would randomly turn off for a second and turn back on and the display message would suggest it was looking for the DVI connection.

This happened a lot, so I turned the system off, and while the cables were tight, I pushed them in further and screwed it even tighter. This was three hours ago and since then it hasn't done anything like that. Should I not be worried or should I take it back tomorrow?

Then there is another issue.

There are lots of preset options aside from the standard like movies, gaming, text, etc.

Now when I have it set to standard, no worries, but when I switch to anything else the display flickers with fast scrolling or mouse motion. The flicker is basically the brightness going up and down with the mouse cursor!

But when I leave it to standard, no problems! In fact when I manually copy the preset settings in standard I don't get any flickering.

The place I bought it from is nearly an hour away, so should I be worried about any of this?

I'd give it a few more days to see how the thing function's "normally" (i.e. quirks and patterns). Also, go to hardocp forums, they should have a 10+ page discussion on this specific monitor's of problems.

Unless otherwise you've not done so, try this.
Go to lcd menu then choose input select and select digital (assuming you use dvi connection).
Otherwise you may have a defective unit.
I own the same exact just like yours which I bought from Costco a while ago.

Hi the restarting issue the didn't repeat itself since I restarted and detached and then reattached the cables.

What about the preset options. Does your screen flicker when you select something like TEXT CINEMA GAME etc?

When it is at standard no problem, but when I select one of those and move my mouse about really fast it flickers.

I have experienced none of that problem described.
Mine is set @ cinema mode currently.
Have you tried swapped to different dvi out at the video card end?

Alright I am definitely taking it back then! I will also try swapping right now.

OK I swapped to the second DVI and now no more issues...

Now I am really confused.

Now you should point your finger to the video card.
One of the dvi ports might be defective.
Call eVGA Tech Support about this issue.
I've previously used eVGA TS several time before and they're great!

Still you need to call eVGA to make sure.
