    Hi,

    i cant really explain this (bad english :p ), but ill try. I have noticed when playing games that my screen has sort of lines going vertically, like it cant keep up with the game. Is there a way to fix this?

    Thanks in advance :)

    I doubt the problem is with the screen if the issue only occurs while playing games. My guess would be you need a new or better video card. Not familiar with LG or its specs so can't be certain though.

    I think its because of the low refresh rate, but can it be fixed somehow? Isnt there some setting?

    If you mean you're getting vertical tearing, what you need to do is go into the display settings in the game and turn on vsync, that'll fix it up. The only prob is it will probably lower your overall framerate, but at least the picture won't break up.

    It is not slow at all.
    I bought a 22" lcd monitor with 2ms response time and you can see sometimes the refreshing lines. But in the S1 screen, I can't see any. It's been perfect for me in games / movies.
