The higher the resolution and refresh rate the higher chance that the signal
can degrade from RF interference. A graphics card that gives a clearer
signal, like a Matrox card, would help. A better quality monitor cable
could help slightly, but the one supplied by Iiyama should be top quality
anyway. As long as your refresh rate is above around 75Hz you won't notice
any flicker, so just run at 85Hz

It could help if you were taking photographs of the screen, or if you were
recording it with a digicam for some reason.

The cable supplied looks to be quite good.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

I guarantee you that a Matrox graphics card will give you a clearer picture.
I run my Iiyama VM Pro 510 at 2048x1536 @85Hz. I do CAD work and have 20/20
vision. I'm a resolution junkie.

It could well be my next purchase then. I'm currently in transition from PC
games junkie to Photoshop junkie
It must be old age or something but games just don't do a lot for me
anymore. Except NHL 2004 !<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
