now.....my problem is....i get slight flicker....noticeable flicker.....i've tried running refresh rate all over the place, up and down, from 60 all the way up.....wat could be the problem?....also, i see two lines on my screen.....one is 1/4 of the way down from the top, and the other is 1/4 of the way up from the bottom....what is the deal here?....i like the monitor, but is this what kind of picture quality i should expect?....i hope not for sony's sake!......n e ideas?

Try running without the kvm. All trinitron monitors have the 2 lines. I assume u have never been infront of one. You get used to the lines and soon forget they are there, you never forget the quality of a trinitron picture.

actually i knew that they were common on some monitors, but i did not know that they were "standard"....i tried w/o kvm.....no change...besides....this kvm advertises to be able to handle these resolutions/refresh rates flicker rate.....n e how, thnx for the advice, more is welcome

Make sure your monitor drivers are installed.
Sometimes xp lets them loose after a driver update.

interesting point that you reminded me of speakin of drivers.....i have dual monitor support on my video card and i am using it.....i can't install n e drivers for my moniter.....i have 4 default monitors listed and 4 plug and play monitors listed in device manager.....this may have something to do w/the problem....i am using detonator drivers version 44.03....i will check for updated driver and see if that helps any....thnx for the help
