  There are certain colors on the LCD panel we use on the demo machine that 
flicker when displayed.  I'm not sure if it's a panel problem, video card, 
or what.
  I'm looking for a program that will help test the system, by just 
displaying a screen full of colors... I'm thinking if I can cycle through 
and find certain colors that cause this it will be able to test other 
components.
  
Also if anyone else has a DVI cable:
- Can you look at the end of the cable that attaches to the monitor/LCD,
  and tell me if any of the pins are inset at all?  (as if they were pushed 
  in slightly)

    Thanks,
      Mike
