LCD troubles...

I consider TOTA to be a fairly resourceful place, so I am wondering if maybe you can help me with this problem.
I recently purchased a Samsung 940NW 19" widescreen LCD to use with my laptop when I am working at my desk. There are little horizontal bars (very faint and only noticeable on darker backgrounds) moving rapidly up and down the screen. So, I unplug the AC power from the laptop and the flickering stops. I plug the AC power back in, it starts again.
The monitor and laptop are plugged into the same surge protector, and I have tried on multiple outlets. It appears to be a ground loop coming from somewhere... but I can't figure out where.
Does anyone have experience with eliminating ground loops in home theatre systems? Any thoughts or ideas?
Any help is appreciated. |

You missed his point because you didn't read that other thread. :p For reference, what he said wasn't directed at you.
Sadly, I can't help you with your problem. electromagnetism is a weird thing - at my desk at work, I have a fluorescent light over a 21" CRT monitor, and everytime I turn on the light, the picture in the monitor starts shaking and loses focus. |

| Do you have a TV plugged in anywhere in the area? If so it might be the reason for the the ground loop and all you need is a ground isolator to fix the problem. If it's an issue with your speakers though, that's more complicated to fix by using a ground lift. It could also be coming from a fluorescent light, only way to know is to isolate it. I've never heard of a laptop causing a ground loop though, if it is it again could be solved using a ground lift. Play around with it and do some reading on eliminating ground loops and you'll figure it out. |

I've looked at this thread at least 5 times and it's registered in my head as "LSD troubles". |
