Default I have a 32" Samsung LCD and use it as a monitor for my PC. ?

The TV is supposed to support up to 1024 * 768 but when I set the PC resolution ( Appearance Settings) to 1024 * 768 the image is a bit narrowed. The VGA detected an other possible resolution that is 1360 * 768. This makes the aspect ratio perfect! Now here come the real problem... The LCD TV picture starts to flicker continuously when I set PC resolution to 1360 * 768. The only way I got rid of this flickering is by turning LCD off and unplug it until Stand By LED fades away completely and then turn it back on to hopefully have a perfectly still image. Once I get the image right, if I don't turn of the PC or unplug the TV the image stays still until I either turn PC off or unplug TV. Lately I'm having more and more difficulty to get rid of this flickering. Can someone please come up with an answer?

You're either attached to your LCD monitor via D-SUB (the 15-pin monitor cable on your video card), the S-VIDEO output, or component output (the three RCA cables). These are analog signals, which are subject to refresh rate (exactly what is causing your flickering). The refresh rate you're using obviously is not the refresh rate of your monitor.To completely eliminate the problem, you must go digital. Many modern video cards in today's computers have a DVI output (a connector similar to your VGA D-SUB connector, but longer and a different pin configuration). You will also need a DVI to HDMI adapter cable.Power down your computer. Hook the DVI part of the cable to your computer and the HDMI part into your LCD screen. Turn on your computer and screen, select the HDMI input on your screen, and you're good to go.Going digital will ensure you don't see that flickering ever again, and you'll notice the increase in general picture quality immediately.If you don't have a DVI output on your computer, you can most likely find a budget-quality video card for your system for $60 or less.

Try doing this:Go to control panel > display > settings tab > advanced > monitor tab.Under monitor settings you can see the screen refresh rate.Change to a different refresh rate, if available. This is how I fixed my monitor.
