Comment 34 for bug 194760

My problem turned out to be similar, it was the cable which must've not been up to spec. I ended up buying a much higher quality cable which got rid of the noise problem and let me enjoy 1680x1050 for a while, until for some reason that resolution just decided to stop working :\ .

Definitely won't be going to any small Asian computer shops for a while, the previous Asian computer shop I went to installed a really cheap, crappy LCD screen in to my laptop, it just looked piss-poor, so I made them order an HP one :) , had to pay a bit more though.
