    Monitor flickers when turned on


    So everyday when I wake up and turn on my monitor, the screen flickers like this for a good 5 minutes. It even makes a ticking sound when it does it, it is sort of old but very.

    Any Ideas?

    When you get the youtube brackets, paste just the part between the "=" and the "&" symbol if it is present. for your vid, you would put in 6kcQ6MEarrw

    As for the flickering, this being a CRT monitor, have a read through this tutorial: Get IT Done: Tips for troubleshooting malfunctioning CRT monitors | TechRepublic

    Sounds like it isn't working till it warms up

    found another thread on a forum that seems to match your problem.

    Why does my monitor need to warm up before it works properly??

    I don't know if the fix is easy. I would take it to a repair shop. a new cathode tube might be needed. as is, it would probably be more beneficial to upgrade to an LCD monitor instead.

    Also some more resources on CRT monitors:

    Is this the Syncmaster noted in your specs? If so, it's a LCD display. Apparently, a 60Hz fixed refresh rate.

    Use this link to test the monitor. If it checks out, verify the resolution settings. Then verify these match your driver settings.

    If everything else checks out, try a new cable. If the problem continues, it could be that the display is about to check-out.
