Thanks much for all the responses about my flicker problem. I think the refresh rate is set as high as possible, and there's no flourescents in this room or even close. At this writing I have noticed two things tho. Part of the problem may be my telephone, which I'd relocated to a position left of and almost touching the monitor. It doesn't like this...it's a relatively cheap and possibly less than adequately shielded phone. Second, I've also noticed that when the air conditioner comes on the monitor picture shakes visibly, then settles down after a few seconds and the flicker starts. Altho this has never happened before I think there is something funky about the current in the house because I often get a low voltage alarm from my surge protector when various devices come one, i.e. an extra light, AC, a fan, etc. OTHO, I've plugged in an older 15" monitor that doesn't exhibit any of these problems. Coinicidentally I have another Iiyama being shipped this week and will see if it's any more stable. If it is I'll probably send this one back for service, and if not I'll keep experimenting. Dave
