Odd Behavior with new Samsung. I just bought at Syncmaster T220. Its fantastic,beautiful and worked right out of the bos with my Mac Mini (old G4). I have it connected via DVI to DVI. The resolution is Resolution: 1680 x 1050 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color. Everything works fine with one exception. If I look at an image (photo) and make it large, for example, if I zoom in in iPhoto and move the picture, or if I use Cover Flow view the monitor blinks off for a split second. Almost as if its having trouble displaying the picture. Then it comes back on and works fine for hours. I can repeat the problem over and over and when is top doing large picture related work, its fine. No issues. Is the Radeon 9200 choking?

Anyone have any ideas?

Perhaps it's a driver or cable problem.
I would have bought the Apply Display in a minute if I could have afforded it.

Apple products beat out any competition.

Period.
I have questioned my decision to switch from 20 some odd years of IBM and Microsoft and I have no regrets.

yeap. Perhaps it may be the cable. Lets hope that is the case. If it is the monitor, I will have to get a new one. If it is the driver, guess i cannot do much, i have search every where but there is no mac driver available for this monitor. 😟
