Horizontal Artifacting with new Dell U2410 Monitors - Video

I received my new dell monitors yesterday, Dell U2410's. (1920x1200)

I'm having some artifacting issues within FCP. The files will play fine through QT and the issues don't show up after an export. I'm running a Mac Pro w/10gbRAM/NVIDIA GeForce GT 120.

The footage is proRes422(LT) 1920x1080/23.98

One monitor is straight DVI to DVI and the other is DVI using the MiniDisplay adapter.

At first I thought it was just the monitor using the MiniDisplay adapter but it seems to be showing up on both, in the viewer and the canvas. I figure if it were a rolling shutter issue I it would show up when I play it back in QT. Just not really sure what to do at this point.

I'm attaching a video that shows what I'm talking about, excuse the crappy quality, the issue didn't show up when I tried to use a video screen capture so I had to film the screen. Video is about half speed so you can see the issue.


Please let me know if ya'll have any ideas.

Thanks!
 
Bump. I'm pretty sure this is either an issue with my graphics card or final cut, not the monitors.

If yall have any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Here is another clip where I shot the screen and then the normal QT which is not effected.

Did these anomalies appear with the previous monitors?

Try using those and determine if this is specific to the Dells.

Also, I trust you are not monitoring the footage using the Desktop Cinema Display mode.

Which is not an appropriate manner to assess the sequence.
