Hey guys! Want to buy a new moniter, I just use it as a second monitor for my laptop when working at uni! Currently using a 20 inch Samsung Pebble but it has developed this wierd flickering issue and its really hurting my eyes!!

Not going to use it for gaming or anything like that. I am sadly doing a degree in Computer Science so spend a lot of time in front of it, and just want something nice and big!

Its between these two:

Any thoughts? The Samsung seems a bit to good to be true, and given pretty poor quality of my current monitor I am a little weary.  Ha, bit of a random post but this isnt a field I really know much about, so I thought I would check theres nothing important I am missing!

Help appreciated guys :)

2048x1152 is an odd resolution that I suspect may not be fully compatible with some programs. IMO, go with a 1920x1080 screen. That same screen did not have an DVI port, IMO, go for one which does.




Not sure which of these screens is actually better though.

and check the frequency also might be the cause of flickering
