Monitor flickering when the screen is dark! Help!

[Frick]

its back-light flicker probably a failing back-light or inverter board

hisense are like the lowest on the craptacular monitor scale

you get what you pay for

No, it's just a VGA failure. I have no idea why, but it seems to be common. I've had a bunch of 1680x1050 Sammies with the same problem; DVI worked flawless but VGA had weird flickering.

Okay. Enough.
The steaming stack of issues that come with this monitor vastly outweigh any advantage that it may bring.
Thank you all guys for the assistance, but I think I'm going back to my trusty 19'.

Or buy a HDMI cable + miniHDMI adapter. They come real cheap, could be worth it if it fixes the problem, which I'm quite sure it will.

pretty sure
we are talking about backlight flicker here NOT noise/ghosting incuded signal flicker

there should't be ANY appreciable noise in the back-light from VGA of there is then its even more low-end then I give hisense credit for

these cheap monitors do not like to be run at low-brightness levels the backlight and driver doesn't do it well

when you run a led at low power and the power isn't perfectly filtered you get flicker as i said could be anything from a bad backlight led/inverter or a bad cap especially considering its affecting the color as well at low output tells me there is noise in the power
