I was afraid of that. Guess I'll hang on to it until it's dead. It's still usable after the flickering stops.

I just replaced my video card with a GeForce 9500GT 1GB DDR2 Ram - PCI-E 2.0.
Fry's has it for $59 with a ten dollar rebate.

It has dual monitor jacks if that is what you are also considering.

Maybe they just forgot to leave the self-degaussing setup out of that one

Lately, I buy all my monitors and parts from Microcenter. Many times I've found that they are way cheaper than Fry's, and definitely more knowledgeable ( I hate talking to an 18 year old at frys that know less than the consumer). Definitely worth a look if your close!

Can anyone suggest a budget friendly monitor that is NOT TN? I need to get a new monitor soon. Also, where do you recommend purchasing them at? When I'm searching online, will it indicate PVA or IPS? Thanks

otherwise you are looking at a lacie or something of the like. may be a dell or something else out there.
