A Festivus Miracle
Dec 19, 2012

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Problem description: So, I've got this old 1600*900 monitor that's probably on the outs. Recently, it's DVI port died, so I got a VGA cable and started using it as the second monitor in a dual monitor setup. The VGA output has some weird de-sync issue which I think are graphics card related. The problem I've recently noticed is that there's a noticeable flashing line of pixel that crawls up the 1600*900 monitor. I don't think it's a graphics card problem because the primary monitor doesn't appear to have any pixel fuckups or obvious graphical artifacting.

Attempted fixes: Reseating the cable doesn't appear to affect it.

Recent changes: Started using the hosed up monitor (the one with this issue) as a secondary monitor.

Operating system: Windows 7

System specs: Relevant info: 1x NVIDIA GTX 680, 1x Acer G6 Series G226HQLBbd Black 21.5" 1920*1080 monitor, 1x Samsung SyncMaster E2020, 20.5" 1600*900 monitor, 1x DVI-DVI O/I output cord, 1x DVI-VGA O/I output cord, 1x 600 watt PSU that I ordered loooong ago.

Location: USA

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes - this is either a graphics card issue or a monitor issue, and because of the age and the recent death of the DVI port, I'm inclined to believe the latter.
