Hey all - I've been lurking in these forums for several months now, and I continue to be impressed with the wealth of knowledge here. I've learned quite a bit in the time I've been here, and I just wanted to say "thanks"!
Oh and by the way... (queue ulterior motive )
I've been having an unusual problem with my monitor's display ever since I moved to a new apartment. At refresh rates higher than 60hz, the image distorts in kind of a subtle to not-so-subtle way. It varies from rate to rate, but at its worst the entire screen image wavers to and fro.
Fast forward a couple days - in the middle of checking my cables I accidentally pulled the power cord for my (cheap) ups out of the wall causing it to switch to the battery. When I glanced up at the monitor I noticed that the wavy-ness had completely cleared up. Sure enough, it returned as soon as I plugged the ups back into the wall.
I assume that this is a problem with a dirty or poor power in my apartment? If so, would I need a better ups with a line conditioner or something? I admittedly don't know much about the subject - is there something you recommend?
Cheers- Lopsided
