does this problem also persist on another screen or with another cable?
might be a loose connection?

i have another identical monitor and it does the same ... tried different cables and still does it but works ok on my TV... ideally i would like to run it on the monitor ... the monitors use DVI input .. i have tried an HDMI - DVI cable and also a HDMI -DVI converter.

The monitors own test screen is ok

Do you know if the monitors are DVI-I? Have you tried enabling YPbPr in the Mister.ini?

ypbpr=1

Its DVI-D .. possibly Dual Link ...

will try your suggestion ... i thought that YPbPr is for analogue connection

Thanks for your help .. will let u know what happens

Yeah, it's analogue. That's why I was curious about DVI-I (which can do both digi and analogue I believe). I have one monitor that does YpBpr over DVI-I, so I figured worth a try. But I don't know if any non-CRTs use it in that capacity. Seems like a CRT remnant to me.
Have you tried VGA?

yes worth a try :)

I have ordered a VGA cable so will try that

Thanks


P.S Those monitors work fine with DVI-D from an old PC i have kicking around
