Hey guys :)

Ok so I bought a new screen and I am now using my old Samsung P2270 on my laptop. The laptop (HP Compac nc6320) only has a VGA plug, not DVI. So I used a converter. I have the resolution set to max (1080P).

My problem is that I can see prominent white (or gray) horizontal lines (especially for dark text). I have read that I should adjust the course setting on the monitor but that doesn't help at all. I have also tried adjusting the brightness and contrast, with no avail. The only thing I can think of is that it is an external factor, ie I have 17 Speakers in my room, and one of them is a big subwoofer with a strong magnet, I know that screens and magnets don't go well together. But they are all rather far from the screen.

Look here is a photo I took with a camera (HAHA a screenshot would have been such a fail.):

I would really appreciate any help :)

EDIT: What the! I just realized that if I move the cable around (the physical VGA cable) the lines (or ghosts) get better and worse. I am confused...

It sounds to me like a synchronization issue + the cable/connectors of the cable might be damaged.
You can try going through the Samsung menu's to do the Auto Configuration / Sync.

I can't see anything wrong with that photo that you uploaded, because I don't know how it should actually look :(

If you had a digital output (DVI/HDMI) on your laptop, then this problem won't exist.

Look at the 'smearing' just to the right of Posts, Topics & Advanced Search.

Try a better VGA cable. I've noticed slight noise/snow on my 23" when using a analog vga cable.
