I bought a Q9b-2 Viewsonic LCD monitor from buy.com It was fine until this early summer, the LCD image suddenly turned into a black screen. after half of a second, it turned back on. I called this "Blinking". It was kind of like you adjust the old CRT monitor, which will turn into a black screen for half of a second.
By the way, my system is a dell pc, which uses intel onbard graphic, IEG2. The current operating system is Ubuntu, which is a linux. However, I used XP before.
After I experience these problems, I decided that only video card or the LCD itself could probably cause this problem. Before I purchased this LCD, i was using old CRT. It was fine. I tried to plug the pc to another CRT since; It just worked fine. Therefore, I called up ViewSonic for RMA repair service because it's under warranty. I also told em that the LCD maybe suffer from the LCD inverter.
After a few weeks, they fixed my monitor and sent it back to me. I used it the first day. Nothing happened. A few days later, it started to blink again. so I was so angry. I called them up again to set up a replacement.
NOW, I found out that the LCD just never blink when i plug it into my laptop using the VGA out on my laptop.
PS: The LCD will blink when I play games on my desktop.
Is it still a LCD problem or a video card problem?
