Start by checking your display settings. For an LCD monitor, you should set it to its native resolution. It should also be set to 60Hz in most cases (screen refresh rate under Windows). Check your brightness settings as well and you could also try resetting your monitor to its factory defaults. At 6 yrs old, if it has had a lot of use, the backlight could be flickering at less than default values. Just a guess...

Wouldn't hurt to check/update your drivers as well.

Good luck!
