Hey gang


I recently picked up my old monitor from my parents house which I have not used in about two years. I am using the monitor as my main screen via a VGA connection from my laptop and the laptops display is black. The problem is that when I connect everything like this these lines appear and persist the entire time. Some points to note:


I run the monitor at 1280x720, the native resolution of the monitor is 1680x1050 but I am unable to select this in windows. I am also unable to change the aspect ratio.

The lines seem to get worse when I move the mouse and die down when I play a movie. I assume that the reason I cannot select the monitors native resolution is due to drivers on the laptop but I am unsure.


The Laptop is a HP G5000 and the monitor is an LG Flatron W2242S.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something I forgot to add is that I have tried changing the refresh rate from 60 to 75 and the issue persists.
