Samsung 226bw jitters

Hi everyone. I bought this LCD display and experience and of jitters. I use Geforce FX5200 and even at 1024X768 with 60/75 HZ refresh rate the image still vibrates.
What are the possible causes? is the FX card too old? I also see the jitters when the computer boots up before Xp screnn is shown (the screen jitter also at DOS VGA mode)

Could be:

1) A loose/bad connector (I assume you're using the DV connector directly, and not a DV to VGA adapter).

2) Video card issue.

3) bad monitor.

The fact that it happens in DOS definitely means it could be any of these three things. If you have another PC with a similar setup, you could at least eliminate the monitor as an issue.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Actually to FX5200 only have standard VGA output so I'm not using DV cable (would VGA to DV adapter be good option for testing the card/monitor?)

Actually, it's entirely possible that the card is jut putting out a signal that the monitor can't reliably synch to; and your 'jitters' are indicative of that. But, yes, one way to test this out would be to hook the monitor up to another PC and see how it behaves. If the monitor has an 'auto-synch' option on its OSD setup menu; you might also try running it, and see what it changes the serrings to.
 
Sorry you're having this problem. I have two of these in my office (went with them for a dual monitor display for a new employee recently, everyone else has the 225bw's) and the employee loves them.

Try this
The image on my LCD seems to jitter. How can I fix it?
In an LCD, each pixel corresponds to a specific set of red, green, and blue LCD cells. When an LCD monitor gets an analog signal, it has to decide which cell is supposed to display a specific pixel. If it can't make up its mind, the pixel will jump back and forth between adjacent sets of cells, creating an annoying jitter in the display. LCDs have built-in controls to minimize or eliminate the problem:

Look for an "automatic" adjustment feature that will eliminate the jitter, and adjust image size and position at the same time. The feature may be available as a button on the control panel (often labeled Auto) or as a choice in the on-screen display (OSD).
If the monitor does not have an automatic adjustment feature, or the feature doesn't stop the jitter completely, you'll have to adjust the settings manually. Start by adjusting the coarse timing for the LCD, which should be an available setting in the onscreen display (OSD). Typical names for this feature are Clock and Tuning. Increase or decrease the setting until you have minimized the jitter you see in the image. Next, you may also adjust the fine timing for the LCD. Typical names for this adjustment are Phase and Fine Tuning.
Also, your native res should be 1680 x 1050, the monitor will give the best display at that res. Your video card is a bit weak for that res for 3d gaming but should support it for 2d desktop. If you want to try a lower res, use on that is proportional, like exactly 3/4, try 1250 x 780 for example. You want the pixels to line up with the image as best as possible.
