I have a 32 inch HDTV and I love it so I hooked my PC up to it via VGA since it didn't come with a DVI port and it had a hum bar going up the screen. I had it set on the PC channel.

I had to use onboard video because my dvi to vga connector must not be working so video card would output to TV.

This was just a test for future might hook up a media pc but not with a hum bar,

I'm no expert on this - but is it possible you need to adjust the screen refresh rate that the PC is using?

In the good old days, it was 50Hz for PAL and 60Hz for NTSC. In this day of LCD and plasma - God knows!
As, technically, you're using it as a computer display, between 75-100Hz would probably be a better bet. Though be warned, make sure your TV can accept these rates as going too high can damage the display.
I think it's a case of trial and error until you find one that both you and your screen are comfortable with.

Just been reading a bit more on this:

If you're going to use this primarily to watch HD movies and these movies have been given a 24 fps transfer (as they should be), then if your TV supports it - try a 120Hz refresh rate. As 120 is divisble exactly by 24, you'll get a judder-free display.

60hz is all there is no other option for me. I read someone was having same issue but with a PS3 and they switch to a hdmi to dvi cable because hdmi doesn't have issues.

So perhaps this will fix it also allowing me to use my video card instead of onboard video.
