I've been experiencing scrolling lines across both LCD screens that I use for instruments in FSX. I've tried the following: 1. Changing out the VGA cables for new ones. The original cables I used were many years old. 2. Setting different resolutions and refresh rates to see which work better. 3. Plugging the USB VGA card into other USB ports while disconnecting USB devices that may have been taking power needed by the screens. 4. Enabling the Intel onboard graphics in my computer's BIOS and plugging the screen directly into the onboard VGA port. This is where I currently have the screen (PFD only) plugged in. So, after all of these ideas I'm still getting horizontal flickering that will change in speed and intensity if and only if I change the refresh rates of the screen. Right now at 800 x 600 at 60 Hz refresh rate the flickering is at its slowest speed, of course when I go to 75 Hz refresh the flickering is extremely fast and scattering all over the display. I'd like to think that I've eliminated the possibility of a bad USB VGA card, bad cables, insufficient PC, and now exploring the possibility of something in the room giving off too much electromagnetic interference (EMI) and causing the display problems I'm getting on the small LCDs. My current PC spec is: Intel Core i7-3770K at 3.4 GHz, 16 GB DDR3 memory, NVidia 650Ti graphics card, onboard Intel HD 4000 graphics (which has the PFD plugged into the VGA port right now), 128 GB SSD, 2 TB HDD, and one PCI USB expansion card... The NVidia card is currently driving one 27 inch LCD via the VGA port, and one LG 32 inch TV via HDMI. Anyone have any experience with testing for EMI and how to effectively find the culprit and shield it from everything else in the cockpit? Hoping for a permanent solution soon!

Hi I'm a new member here and I'm currently just learning the ropes of FSX and once I get the hang of FSX, I'd like to start using xplane 10 as well. I'm currently setting up my equipment and I have all Saitek equipment (Yoke, rudder, throttle quadrants, multi panel, switch panel, 2 radio panels). I wanted to also get the Saitek LCD mini display panels but I don't feel like spending the $600+ for 6 lcd gauge panels. I've done some searching and I've seen people with a dedicated LCD monitor just for the instrument gauges. How is that done? I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum but I didn't know if this thread falls under FSX, Hardware or just a general newbie question. Believe me, I've searched on google and some of the pages I've seen are way to complicated or I just can't find anything that relates to what I need. If it helps, I just built a new computer (Asus Maximus Formula VII, 16GB RAM, 2 Samsung PRO SSDs, Intel 4790k cpu, nVidia 660ti GPU's running in SLI, 3 Asus 27" LCD montiors) so I should have the hardware capability of running the 4th LCD monitor. I was planning on using my extra 19" LCD monitor to display just the instrument gauges as it's setup in a Cessna. Any help would be appreciated (such as what software I would need or if there are any tutorials out there you can link me to). I've also seen some people using ipads or some other touchscreen for GPS maps. Is this is same process? Thanks!
