| 303149 | 2004-12-16 04:21:00 | You may be right Graham, it certainly sounds like screen burn. Too many monitors are operated at full contrast and if they sit on their normal desktop for any appreciable time they will definitely produce icon or text burns. I doubt very much that the cable will make any difference but try it, stranger things have been known to happen. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 303150 | 2004-12-16 05:11:00 | It's definitely not screen burn - anything on the screen has a ghosting effect and it's not just limited to one place on the screen :( I managed to get a picture of the effect on the screen but it's not a very good picture! sal.neoburn.net Look behind the icon to the right a little and you can see the ghost. |

| 303151 | 2004-12-16 05:26:00 | OK, if it's an actual image ghost, that could be due to cheap cables, or lack of termination. Is there provision for a converter cable from VGA/DVI to three coax cables? | Graham L (2) | ||
| 303152 | 2004-12-16 05:31:00 | No, there isn't, but there is another connector for a 13W3 cable (looks like a Sun monitor style cable connector). I forgot to bring another cable home but I will hopefully remember tomorrow night and it just might solve my problem! (fingers crossed) EDIT: Thank goodness I remembered I had KVM switch cables :cool: another cable seems to have fixed it! Thanks for all your help guys! :) |

Check that there are no other electronic equipment close by. Our screen used to have a wobble. Turned out it was the speakers next to the screen were causing all the trouble, obivously they were not shielded. |

| 303154 | 2005-04-20 03:46:00 | Is there any software which can fix ghost effect or can check ghost effect? | apedix (6540) | ||
| 303155 | 2005-04-20 04:04:00 | Simply, no, apedix. Ghosting is not produced by software. It's produced inside the display, and it's always a fault -- signals being reflected in cables so they are repeated on the screen. It's more commonly seen on TV screens, when it's produced by the signal arriving on the aerial by multiple paths. Monitor cables are usually well enough designed and made so it doesn't happen. Similarly, you won't normally see ghosting in TV pictures from a VTR or DVD player. |
