Elo 15" Touschscreen 1545L Static Fuzzy / Issues

[JRoz]

Just moving this over to the correct forum..Help!

Hi Guys,

I just got an Elo 15" Touchscreen 1545L and i'm having some fuzzy/static blurry issues with it.  I've tried it with 3 laptops and 1 desktop and i'm getting horizontal lines across the screen in multiple areas.  I've tried another power cord and also a second vga cord and same result.  I've changed the resolution from 800x600 and 1024 x 768 with the same results..the refresh rate at 60hz and 75hz same result...i've messed around with the contrast and brightness and its all the same thing.  I've turned off the ClearType setting in Effects..i've really tried everything hah.  Anyone have any clue what could be wrong with it or what i'm not doing correctly?  Let me know your thoughts, i'm trying to use it for a jukebox project and now have ran into this issue. 

Thanks for your help

Any way you can grab a picture of these horizontal lines?
Beings they are in multiple areas it sounds like something else is wrong with the monitor itself, nothing to do with settings. But can't be for sure without seeing what your are trying to describe.

sure i'll try to get some screen shots tonight..i mean its not very large lines or anything, you notice them when just looking directly at it.  They are more like static areas in the screen..when I turn the contrast up and down they change as well as the "clock" setting which has something to do with the picture.  Its not white noise like from an old CRT, it looks like some type of interference.  I'm going to bring the monitor and two laptops to my friends apartment to see if its maybe my electricty or something...I have a projector in my bedroom that has similiar lines it looks like so it could be something with that.  I dont have that issue with my tv's and other computer monitors so not sure what the deal is.

could this maybe a grounding issue?...i'm using 3 prongs and noticed sometimes when stuff isnt' grounded properly it causes this interference lines or a hum?  The monitor is open frame without a rear bezel so could that may be it?
