UNSOLVED
SP2309W
Config: XPS 420 with nVida GeForce 9800 GT 512MB running Vista Home Premium
Issue: Got flashing short horizontal lines on screen occasionally, something like interference signals. Not across the whole screen. Appears on Vista wallpaper, games (like Hearts) but not for DVD playing. Disappear after using a while, say, an hour's time.
Anyone got the same or similar issue? Just like to find out whether it is related to hardware or not so that can make decision to replace or return it.
Thanks
Thanks for your info.
I'm using DVI connector for the monitor. The lines appear whenever it's a cold start. After using it a while, it improves a bit with less flickering and sometimes it completely gone. However, exists always in the Game 'Hearts'.
They offered me an exchange yesterday. See whether I'll have the same issue or not when I get it.

How is the monitor attached? VGA? DVI? HDMI? I'm using this monitor with a GeForce 9600GT and DVI cable and don't experience your problem, but I do have "speckling" at the top half-inch or so of the screen. Kind of a faint checkerboard pattern. It seems to come and go. Not sure if that's similar to yours or not?
On my old monitor, I would definitely get interference when using VGA and it went away completely when I switched to DVI.
