Need help with my DVI input LCD monitor, please

[brjoon1021]

I just got the Viewsonic FP2000s (20 inch LCD) from Costco. I think that I like it a lot. However, when I run the native 1600x1200 resolution with DVI with my AIW 9700 pro (not overclocked) I get red pixels when there is motion on the screen. It happens with DVDs, streaming RealPlayer, Streaming windows media player videos. Basically, it is red pixels flashing or just turning on and staying there.. It does not happen at lower resolutions like 1280x1024. I turned off the "alternate DVI operational mode" in the options tab of the Catalyst 4.12 based Omega drivers that I am using. I also, checked the "reduce DVI frequency on high resolution displays" box. That fixed a horrible problem where the whole screen looked like crap. But I do have this red pixel issue pretty bad. Any ideas ? Is it just that my card can not handle 1600x1200 @60 hz with the DVI ? This does not happen with the VGA input.

You need to find out if it is your video card or a defect in the LCD (if it was, I'd suspect the circuitry). Buy a cheap card with DVI on the forsale/trade forums for $25 or less shipped or use a friend's computer/card and see if that fixes the problem.

Or you could call their tech support -- maybe it is a known issue?
