A normal CRT screen has a "refresh" period where the electron beam is actually moving from the bottom of the screen where it finished drawing the screen back to the top.  This period the screen is actually blank or partically blank.  The human eye cannot see this, so it's not a problem.  But to a camera which freezes time in a split second, it can catch this time when the monitor is in it's blanking stage.\n\nSince most monitors are shipped running at 60 hertz on the refresh, you will usually capture half of the screen during it's blanking period as video cameras run at normal 30 frames per second.\n\nIf you want to reduce the "flicker" seen, up your refresh rate on your monitor.  By doing this you reduce the chance of the video camera seeing the blanking period of the monitor.  Do this in Windows by right clicking on the screen, clicking the "settings" tab and then click on "advanced".  Under the "monitor" tab you will find the refresh rate setting.  Usually setting to a higher refresh also makes viewing the screen easier on the eyes.  And many gamers prefer a higher rate to make games look more fluid.  This might not elminate the "flicker" on video, but should reduce it a lot.  Try many different rates if you monitor will handle it.

check your resolution. Because it is a widescreen, text and graphics may appear fuzzy because pixels are stretched.\nTry a resolution greater than 1024 by 768, try 1440 by 900.\nSet a high resolution and check if it works.

Some of your pictures on your computer can be fuzzy because your graphics card is bad old or small,  it also can be because your screen is bad.

flickering means your drivers for the AGP card are not compatible with directx, try downloading the latest drivers from the vendor's website.

either reinstall your drivers, or buy a new monitor...\n\nwas there a power surge, or did you buy the monitor from another source?  many instances of this occurrance is the monitor is faulty and needs to be repaired/replaced...

It's the same reason stars twinkle--light traveling through the atmosphere gets distorted and flickers.

What language are you programming in? If you are using C# or VB.NET 2.0, your form has a property on it called "DoubleBuffer" and you can just set that to true and flickering will go away. Otherwise, you can control flicking by doing double buffering yourself. To do that just have an offscreen Bitmap object in memory that you paint to, and draw the image to the screen all at once, and also be sure to override any onbackgroundpaint methods to make sure that the screen doesn't clear inbetween paints.

its because the game your playing is trying to switch the resolution of the screen to one the video card or monitor cannot put out. for examle if you have  a13" screen and trying to put 1024X768 resolution its most likely gonna flicker and what not. try going into the settings of the game and change screen resolution to 800X600 or if it was that already change it to somethign higher. otherwise it might just be your graphics card is out of date

all computer monitors blink, and soo fast that you dont really notice. This is why your eyes get sore after staring the the screen for a long time. Maybe your settings are soo low that you can actaully see it flash. \nRight Click on the desktop and go to Properties-Settings-Advanced-Monitor- and change the Refresh Frequency.

I'm thinking it's a power supply in the monitor.  You might want to try another monitor to assure yourself that the problem is indeed with the monitor.

Twitchy eye is quite funny, like being tickled. It happens when you're tired or stressed, and you think everyone else can see your eye having a little fit, but they can't. I don't know how old you are, but your blurred vision could be 'silent migraine'. This can start in children and as they grow up, the headaches follow. It could also be staring at a computer screen! Have your eyes checked. :-)

Your monitor probably has buttons on the front of it for controling the brightness and contrast, and it sounds like those buttons are starting to wear out and "push" themselves. You could take it to a computer shop and get it fixed (they can replace the buttons), but if it's an old monitor, you're probably better off getting a new one.

im not sure what c++ is if its delphi or not im confuesed as to what delphi's name is i only know it as Delphi and im new at programing but if its delphi you just need to set\n\nForm1.DoubleBuffered := True;\n\nplace it in the oncreate handler will work fine this should stop the flickering;

Usually means your monitor is not hooked up to a video input on the back of your tower.  Try plugging the cord on the back of your monitor (and the power cable too) into the back of your tower, and tighten the rollers all the way.  It usually looks like this:\n\nhttp://www.umbc.edu/oit/sans/helpdesk/articles/images/vga_port.jpg
