I am having a problem with a VGA LCD display device when powered from a
different AC power circuit to the video signal source (PC).
If both the LCD monitor and PC are plugged into the same power point,
everything works fine. The problem arises when I power the LCD from a
different power point on the other side of a warehouse. When powered from
different circuits, the LCD flickers or waves/pulses to what looks like a
50Hz type flicker.
I am using a VGA splitter to boost the video signal with a 30M VGA cable to
get across the warehouse floor. I am confident that this isn't what is
causing the problem because I have tried connecting the LCD directly to the
PC through a short 2M VGA cable and run an extension cord across to the
power point on the other side of the room to try and eliminate the cause. In
this case, the flicker is still apparent.
I have also tried a CRT monitor which exhibits the same problems. Also, if I
power PC and LCD together at either side using the same power point, there
is no problem, so I don't think it's a power problem at one particular
point.
Has anyone solved a similar problem before or have any ideas what might be
causing the problem? Thanks.
