Just got the Samsung 2253BW lcd... whenever I scroll slowly, some text on the screen will flicker. For example, on Gamespot forums, all the small text near the bottom will flicker.


Is this normal for lcds?

That is normal for LCDs, it is caused by the response time of the monitor, or the time it takes a pixel to change from on to off to on again.

Thanks for the replies

The cables are plugged in tightly and I have the latest videocard and monitor drivers installed.

The monitor response time is 2ms. My friend's Samsung monitor is also 2ms and flickers too but isn't as noticeable.
Can someone else also confirm this text flickering to be normal?

Can you try letting the mouse scroll by itself very slowly and see what happens
