I've been getting this for some time now and finally decided to look into it. The flickering lines only appear during gameplay or when I alt-tab to desktop with a game running.

I tried taking some screenshots with fraps, but the lines are not showing up in them. I also dug up an old monitor with max res 1280x1024 and no flickering lines were showing. I used the same cables with it. My current one is a Philips 244e1sb/00 24'' LCD and I'm guessing it must be the source of the problem.

Should I take it back as I still got a few months of warranty left?

If it is happening only in games, then it could be the GPU too.

But shouldn't the flickering happen with the older monitor too or show up in the screenshots if it was the GPU?

What's your refresh rate on the monitor?

You can also try enabling V-Sync and see if that would remove the flickering lines.

I always use vsync, and disabling it had no effect either. Refresh rate is 60hz.
