or it could be a refresh rate that is not good for the monitor

alright since the last person brought it up..waht are the refresh rates mmean? 65 hertz and etc... wat does it all mean...and the problem with my old monitor was electrical...and it was about as old as me....if i turned the screen to a curtain position that i usually do to watch movies that it gets all poltergeist on me. (its bin replaced)

In monitors based on CRT technology, the refresh rate is the number of times that the image on the display is drawn each second. If your CRT monitor has a refresh rate of 72 Hertz (Hz), then it cycles through all the pixels from top to bottom 72 times a second. Refresh rates are very important because they control flicker, and you want the refresh rate as high as possible. Too few cycles per second and you will notice a flickering, which can lead to headaches and eye strain.


Because your monitor's refresh rate depends on the number of rows it has to scan, it limits the maximum possible resolution. Most monitors support multiple refresh rates. Keep in mind that there is a tradeoff between flicker and resolution, and then pick what works best for you. This is especially important with larger monitors where flicker is more noticeable. Recommendations for refresh rate and resolution include 1280x1024 at 85 Hertz or 1600x1200 at 75 Hertz.
