I recently grounded my outlet and the horizontal lines was fixed on my monitor
– this is an unbranded 165hz monitor
– never changed the display cable, everything is the same, even pc is the same, only my outlet got changed from 2 prong type a to a properly grounded 3 prong.
just curious on the reason why it got fixed 😀 appreciate if you guys have an idea!

Without a proper grounding your hardware picks up electromagnetic interferences – causing those lines. Always use grounded connections with high power electronics
Stupid question. How to ground my outlet
your…wall outlet had the ground not connected? That’s quite the hazard, who installed it like that and how did no one notice during inspection?
I was so worried my outlet wasn’t grounded cuz my PC was giving me slight shocks when I touched the metal side. Turns out I absolutely suck at cable management
you’re lucky to have such an easy solution. most of my house doesn’t have any sort of grounding, which is bad. luckily i don’t have such monitor issues, only that some things can shock me a bit when i touch them
hmmmm.. noted.

Was it only on specific colors or all the time? Because mine does this but only a shade of light blue.
I should wire a ground terminal…
Are u still using vga ? Cuz I dont understand how this could be problem with digital connection
I thought i was on the american dad sub for a minute there. Take this smut down!
I have a few questions – did these lines come and go? Did some of the image retain even after restarted the machine and monitor?
I had a similar issue a while back and could not figure it out. It went away when I moved but I always blamed MacOS.

I just realized that my second monitor had this line issue but not as profound as yours and now that i have it grounded, my lines are gone. Monitor used is “MSI G271 27 inch
Couldn’t be me I’m northern Irish so all our outlets are grounded 💪💪💪
My Asus mobo keeps collecting static charge even when connected to a properly grounded socket. It’s a known issue in this model and causes wireless to not work
It’s quite annoying, thanks asus
It does not necessarily have to be the ground if you changed the receptacle. Could have been a bad hot or neutral connection that happened to get fixed at the same time.
