The issue isn't terrible bad, I'm sure some people wouldn't notice it, but it does drive me crazy. Is it possible that because this is an newer monitor it has a quicker pixel life and the graphics card doesn't support this (I read this somewhere, but I'm not sure if it's accurate, hardware really isn't my thing)?

Thanks for the time you are taking to help me.

EDIT: The top set of data is my laptop display, the second is my screen (although the issue occurs as well when it's only single screen). There is no problems on my screen or on older monitors.

I suppose it *is* possible, but not something that I would have thought of to be the cause. How old is the laptop ?

Is there any chance that you could post a screenshot of this so I can have a look at the lines ?

The laptop is about 2 years old. I'll see if I can get a picture of the screen with my camera (a screenshot doesn't actually capture the lines) and post back.

Cheers.
