    first - i dont think you're stupid

    try degaussing. then, if you have a can of compressed air and your monitor has holes in it, give it a good spray for dusting!

    try reseating your video card a few times ...if that doesn't help move the entire system to another part of the room or another room completely. let us know.

    KDS monitors are also "budget" monitors and as such you could have a monitor that is going bad prematurely. Although I know someone with a KDS that has been working well for 2 years.

    ...your refresh rate. Set it as high as your video card & monitor will allow. Also, move the monitor cable around and see if the wavy lines move too. If so, try to find the best spot to route the cable. Make sure that power lines are away from the monitor cable.

    if there are flat or bent places in the cable replace it. I have had more trouble with cheap monitor cables. I suppose that it is usually the connectors, but the result is the same, Jive video.

    the only thing that has worked is when i hold the monitor down and to the right it goes away. weird.
