Hi all

Please advise if this monitor is safe to purchase.

There are horizontal lines that move upwards, they look like interference but they only appear on certain colored backgrounds? It also does not happen on the monitors menu panel.

Aesthetically I don't mind these interference lines (they look kind of retro) but I am worried the video board inside the monitor is failing.

My options are this monitor (which I love) or a similar model in the store that does not have this problem (but the colors on that monitor are a bit washed out and it is not as enjoyable to use).

Other monitors tested (in the same room using the same computer and VGA cable) do not have this interference.


Thank you
