monitor screen shimmers
I just received a new Dell desktop computer and monitor--------the 17 inch monitor screen (extended back) flickers after booting up----there is a constant shimmer no matter what window I am in------------I tried changing the refresh rate-----but it's best at 75 (the default rate). A dell technician was trying to help me via phone-------we ended up trying to install new drivers, but it was taking so long that I had to hang up. I can't think of other reasons for the flickering. Should I get another technician to try and help me install new drivers? Any other suggestions?
This is CyberDan, again. I just want to thank the persons who replied to my post. I actually got another dell tech., and we connected my new computer to my husband's monitor-------the screen didn't shimmer (the monitor was in the same location as my new one). So "January" (tech's name) suggested that I get a another new monitor and return the one I have now.
Thanks, people.

Anything with an electric motor running nearby? My mom had one of those smoke filters about 3 feet away from the monitor. The monitor shimmered every time the fan was running.
