MacBook Pro 14'' flickering external monitor
Hi,
I've just got a shiny new MacBook Pro 14'' but I'm a bit disappointed because there is a noticeable flickering on my external monitor (HP EliteDisplay E243m).
The monitor worked fine with my old MacBook Pro 13''.
I tried:
- changing the HDMI cable
- connecting through a DisplayPort adapter
- connecting through a docking station via VGA, DisplayPort or HDMI
- changing color profile in the System Preferences (this only mitigates the problem)
Nothing works.
The funny thing is that if I connect the computer to a very old Samsung Monitor (which only gets to 1650x1080 resolution) through a HDMI to DVI connector there's no flickering.
I Googled around and I saw that it's a fairly common problem but none of the solutions I found are working for me, so my question is: I can buy a new monitor but my budget is limited (i.e. no Apple Displays), can anyone recommend a monitor that will NOT flicker with my computer? I'd hate to buy a new one only to find out that it has the same problem...
Thanks
