Stripes across the screen!!!?

My uncle just bought a new Samsung LED monitor. When it's displaying a white image, like a word document for example, I can see flickering stripes across the screen. It's almost like a CRT monitor refreshing the image. Viewing other stuff is fine though, the stripes are only visible with a white image. I've never seen that on any monitors I've owned. Is this normal or we just got a defective unit?

    Blank, white, blue, black, are any problems on the screen, can be one of two things.

    So you have to find out if it is the screen its self or if it is the GPU (video card) this is easy

    to do connect a second know good monitor to your computer, if the problem goes away you have a bad monitor or screen.
