One of the guys working here at my office has a "new" Dell 2007wfp. Its a revision A00 S-IPS. It is currently being run with a Optiplex 745, Core 2 E6700, 2GB Ram, and a 256MB ATI x1300.
It is also plagued by flickering. Or maybe monitor power issues. Or maybe video card issues. Not really sure.
The problem manifests itself as the screen turning on and off rapidly before returning to normal (and later repeating), as if it is trying to run at an unsupported resolution.
There seems to be little information available regarding monitor issues with this series beyond problems with color banding and the panel lottery. I tried looking for a solution in the ATI Catalyst Control Center, enabling the "reduce DVI frequency" thinking that maybe it was trying to run at 75Hz instead of the max supported 60Hz at 1680x1050. "Alternate DVI Frequency" was already checked previously.
It is worth noting that the flickering occurs at all supported resolutions, not just the native 1680.
Any thoughts or solutions are appreciated.
