You probably have the "big brother" trojan. The screen really is taking pictures and sending to government agents who are tracking your activities. Disable your built-in camera and you should be safe.

Either your monitor is going bad is my guess, or mabye the video card is going out.
Could be the cable as well but this is very very rare.

Maybe it's winking 'cos it finds you alluring.
OR the monitor is about to blow!

It *is* taking a picture. And distributing it all over the net, stealing your credit card details and sleeping with your best friend's friend behind your back.
If it's during startup, it could be the video card and drivers initialising, that's pretty normal. If it's while running, and somewhat frequent, you might want to look at:
A) Upgrading your video drivers.
B) Changing the monitor (borrow a friends before buying a new one)
C) Scanning for viruses
D) Changing the video card
E) Changing the power supply.
If it is reproduced through each of these, you might have stray magnetic fields (if it's a CRT), power fluctuations or ripples (so get a UPS), or someone is VNCing into your machine without your knowing.
does it use more memory if i use a vga out for dual monitors?

Your monitor is made of millions of pixels. Have you ever considered how they feel about all this? No. You haven't.

I have a monitor that says d-sub. I want to plug my hdmi from the ps3 to play on the monitor. What cables will I need? Does DVI-D fit in it?
