Ever heard of the display on a CRT wobbling? It’s just barely doing it. Subtle to the point that my fiance doesn’t notice it but it bugs the hell out of me. It’s a 6 year old Viewsonic. It’s as if there’s a fan or other magnetic device nearby, but there’s not.
So is the monitor dying a slow death or do I need to stop drinking so much?

Lol was going to say it sounds like there is a fan next to it… dunno, it might be the refresh rate if you have it set as the same as your lights in the room, try changing that maybe

^ werd… try setting the refresh rate to 72 or 75 Hz
On some of my old CRT’s I used to own, higher refresh rates would do it aswell even though they supported crazy high refresh rates (heavy duty 21-22" CAD monitors) . it all comes down the the resolution you’re running on it too. Mess with it and find a happy medium

Your monitor has the pixel AIDS, burn it before your eyes shrivel up and die.
Otherwise:
-Refresh rate/Resolution
-Lighting
-Test on other video card/computer
-Monitor really does have AIDS.

It may be due to the quality of the power in your house. Try a different outlet or using a line conditioner.

Some sort of glitch screwed with my desktop settings. By glitch I mean either a software problem or female screwing with stuff best left to the men.
Refresh rate was set too high.
