If your LCD monitor starts to shake, take a closer look at nearby objects that could cause interference.

  • How to Reduce Screen Flicker

    Screen flicker is a result of how monitors and televisions draw the displayed images. The image on a screen is redrawn 50 to 120 times per second --- 50 hertz to 120 hertz --- to update the screen with the latest data.The speed at which the screen redraws the image is called "the refresh rate." The sensitivity to flicker increases with slower refresh rates, higher intensity images, reduced ambient lighting and increased angles of viewing. Computers running Windows enable users to adjust the refresh rate. Fixed refresh rate monitors and televisions require environmental adjustment.
