    Lately my lcd monitor has been getting thin black horizontal lines that run across the screen. They flicker in and out and seem to do it more when I scroll down the page. Sometimes it does it right away when I turn on my computer, but other times it takes a while. It is very annoying when I am trying to surf the web. What can the problem be?

    Do you have another monitor to test? If you see the same on a different monitor then it is a video card problem. If the other monitor looks fine then it is a monitor problem.

    If it's what I'm thinking it is. It may be that your refresh rate is not right.
    What OS are you running?

    Check your re-fresh rate.
    To do so:
    Right-click anywhere on the desktop and click on Screen Resolution>>Select the monitor Display you want to change the screen refresh rate for>>
