The screen must be flickering, the brightness is fine.

I'm running at a resolution of 1024x768, the specs on the monitor say:

- Video :
Max. Flicker Free Resolution:
1024x768@85Hz
Max Resolution:
1280x1024@60Hz

I would assume at 1024x768 it should not flicker.

I will try vidtune though,

Cheers,
Nigel
