There seems to be something wrong with my monitor screen. Its hard to explain but it is easy enough to read the writing but if there is a block of colour it seems to be wriggling and moving. (like when someone wears something with a dogtooth check design on telly!)
Can anybody tell me what the problem is and how to fix it.
Thank you in advance

It is a flat screen monitor and is only about 6 months old. It is usually on for about 12 hours a day.

I think it is your monitor is in early stages of breaking down as it has similar faults that mine showed at the end of last year. If it is still under warranty, like mine was, contact the supplier and ask for a replacement, if it is not ask a friend if they could bring their monitor round to see if it works OK on your computer so as you can confirm that the monitor is the problem.

Do you have a fan or other electronic device next to it that might produce EMI? If so move it away. Otherwise, minimize all your windows to get to your background. Right click on it, go to properties, settings, advanced button, monitor tab, and check that your refresh rate is at least 70 hertz.

Electrical interference is happening. Move it away from the wall, microwave, or whatever it's next to. If it is an LCD screen and you have a block of pixels that aren't working... it's defective or damaged, but wavy lines and flickering are common on CRT screens when they get close to almost anything electrical besides themselves. I mean, two CRTs will interfere with each other, but a CRT won't interfere with itself.

Did you recently put a fan, speaker, or other device close to your monitor? Electromagnetic fields can mess up the display. Just move the offending device away from the monitor.

well, how old is your monitor, because it could be about time to replace it. Also, how often is your screen on (do you use a sleep mode for the screen). It could also be, thought i doubt it, your video driver. go to the manufacturer's website for your videocard, and download the latest software driver for your card.

Does you monitor have a Degauss setting? Check the controls on your monitor and look for it.

Is it a CRT monitor (the big and bulky ones)? They can get old and start to flicker.

if you can click on the screen, right hand click on the screen, click on properties then on settings and check that it is on the highest color quality if not then change it to the highest, then click on desktop and check the desktop picture you have and change it. hope this helps

Go to your display settings and have a dick about with the refresh rate, that might do it.
