    (making it's own thread. )

    Ok guys, need some help. I just installed the AUO B156HW01 V5, installed it, turned my msi GX660 (non R) on, and then now the screen looks like it's washed grey. The thing still displays properly, all except that upon closer inspection, the rows of pixels are "lit" alternately. like IxIxIxIxIx where in a normal screen is IIIIIIII

    Get what I mean?

    I can set the resolution to 1080p and the refresh rate to 60hz and everything.


    This behaviour also happens when I tried to swap in my 1080p screen from my hp envy 15. But when I reinstall my 1336 x 768 screen, it works fine.

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    You need to get the dual channel LVDS cable obviously.
