Re: Samsung SyncMaster T220 weird flickering

Guys just to report with the update, flickering stopped on its own without me doing anything to the display, but since the weather is now getting hotter here, it's probably the issue that the last poster described.

Re: Samsung SyncMaster T220 weird flickering

Now it rarely flickers once it gets turned on, i don't have a clue what's going on, i'll pass it to a technician to change the capacitors nevertheless, it's ~10 years old, refreshing is due.

Re: Samsung SyncMaster T220 weird flickering

I tried to squeeze it and watch out the behavior for some time, so far it looks like nothing changed, the flickering isstill there, it's barely noticeable, but it was like that for this entire day and also yesterday.

Predominantly the issue persists in the top left corner.

Refresh rate is set @ 60Hz on both displays. No other options are available, i could maybe override it manually but i have never tried that before.

Re: Samsung SyncMaster T220 weird flickering

I can't control the brightness through the display buttons since i use HDMI>DVI adapter to connect it to my laptop which has HDMI and Mini Display Port ports, this monitor transfers the controls to the dedicated software when i use DVI port on it.

I can change settings only through Intel Control Panel (so through software only). Connection isn't loose, HDMI cable is 100% flawless. I use APC Surge Arrest extension cord so power supply isn't an issue as well.

It was really annoying for last couple of days,...

Hello everybody, you've probably seen threads with this title more than several times but this looks a little bit specific and i couldn't find a thread with the same exact issue as mine since my display isn't turning off so i'm going to ask as a preventive measure before i waste the money on changing the capacitators (which i should do anyways but i just want to be sure that this is the only problem this display has).

So the symptoms look like this:

Couple of days ago it started to develop this weird flickering that looks like the backlight is flickering extremely fast...
