monitor acting weird
A couple of days ago my monitor (a p991) started a very slight flicker. After doing this for a while it will then degauss on its own. It does this if I am in a program or just staring at the desktop. Nothing has been placed close to it and no software or settings have been changed to possibly cause this....any ideas?

ib_Capt,
Thank you for using the Dell Community Forum.
Try changing the adapter refresh rate. To change the refresh rate you can go into the Display Properties in the Control Panel. From there click Settings | Advanced | Adapter or Monitor. You can change the refresh rate for both.You will then see where to make the change. It may take trying different settings to get the flicker to stop.

ib_Capt,
Try pushing in the reset button located on the front of the monitor to the left.
Overview
Use the control buttons on the front of the monitor to adjust the characteristics of the image being displayed. As you use these buttons to adjust the controls, an on-screen display (OSD) shows their numeric values as they change.
Button Name
Description
Resets the adjustments to the factory settings.
Adjusts the size and position of the images automatically.
Adjust the picture brightness. Operate as the
buttons when adjusting other items.
Displays the MENU OSD.
Adjust the contrast. Operate as the
buttons when adjusting other items.
Turns the monitor on and off. The indicator lights up green when the monitor is on, and lights up orange when the monitor is in Power Saving mode.
NOTE: The Auto Sizing and Centering function is intended for use with a computer running Windows or similar graphical user interface software that provides a full-screen picture. It may not work properly if the background color is dark or if the input picture does not fill the screen to the edges (such as an MS-DOS prompt).
