I don't know how to describe this better than showing off this video : [video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB-qedgyTxo"][/video]

As you have probably noticed, lowering the brightness increasing the flickering effect, turning it to maximum, sometimes, makes it completly disappears. I've also took a listen closer to the monitor and i hear sort of a short-circuit sounds coming from inside, i've checked the cables, replugged them, that didn't solve anything. It started to happen today, randomly, i haven't dropped the monitor in the past or any other sort of physical damage, i'm afraid it's built in power supply i guess that shows its age ( about 5 years now ). If there is any kind of fixes i could try, please share them, thanks. Oh, the refresh rate is 60Hz.
