    I hate my SONY monitor , Believe me!

    It sometimes works perfect , sometimes it looks so bad , i cant read anything on it.
    Lets see. it worked very bad on my Asus cusl2+Asus GF2mx . Then i bought a ATI 9500pro. Suddenly SonyE400 begined to work perfect that i changed my mind from buying a LCD.
    Last week i changed my motherboard+ram+cpu. Then again Sony acted so bad , even worse than before.
    I dont know when it will work , when it will not. But i dont think i will buy one again. Next target is a LCD , just i have to make sure that a lcd is good for gaming.

    New components are : Asus P4P800 , Kingston DRR400, P42.4c .
    I tried the Moire setting without any success .
    The problem is , picture bounces ,oscillates and somewhat scrambled. Sometimes it looks a little bit better , sometimes worse .

    Yeah it does sound like a shielding problem.

    Phx, is there something near your computer thats extremely (or even slightly i guess) magnetic or that could have magnetic parts in it (electric pencil sharpener, microwave etc), or even some crappy unshielded speakers could do that to a monitor.

    Now it works perfectly again. i think it works randomly.
    I thought of that shielding thing before , i checked everywhere in the room , but i didnt see anything that may cause magnetic field. However , that monitor seems to work better at nights than days, which would lead me to think there is somekind of elektronic interference.

    I know exactly what you're talking about. My old sony 17" does the exact same thing. It is related to shielding indeed. It's pretty funky. The problem is the lights in the room. If the lights are on, the image starts to get waves and bounce on the lower left hand corner. I'm almost sure that this is your prob. Try having your lights off and looking at the screen, then turning the lights on and checking the screen again. If it's the same way as with my old monitor, the lights are gonna make it go funky on you.

    The power in your house may be to blame...you never know with monitors though. There's just too many variables as to what could be causing that odd behavior.

    If the problem isn't in my computer case and my speakers aren't in it i'll just ship it backt to the manufacturer. It turned out to be deffective...
    I figure it's not worth trying to figure out the confilict when you have standard parts, it's the copmany's problem not mine, I paid the cash and I better get the quality that the cash that I gave up deserves.

    Well ,i think i must excuse from Sony. I just plugged a LCD monitor to my computer and BANG , the picture was shaking.
    The problem isnt the Sony monitor nor my graphics card (i used that before with a perfect picture quality ).
    It seems my mainboard(Asus P4P800) is causing somekind of picture quality problem (AGP port?). It's very interesting to see , an mainboard may cause an isolated picture quality problem. I will send it back to Asus.
