Okay well I've managed to get the old Iiyama I had originally up and running, and so far (fingers, tentacles, suckers and pseudopods crossed) no flicker, so that would back up your analysis. The only minor problem is that the Iiyama is smaller (17") so it's a little hard to get used to, but it will do until I can buy that Dell. At least I'm not losing my screen every few seconds.

Thanks for the help, as usual!
Cheers agus slainte!

Edit: Spoke too ****ing soon! Now the old monitor is doing it too! I wonder could it be the connector getting worn out? Any ideas? God damn it.

Further edit: Mind you, this one is of course even older than the Benq, so maybe it's just a case of both of them getting ready to give up the ghost? I mean, this must be fifteen, even twenty years old now.
