Planar PL191 ghosting

[Serpent]

Hi

I got my PL191 the other day from Dell. It's nice: sharp and bright. No apparent ghosting in BF 1942.

But: if I have a small window open against the plain blue desktop and I drag it back and forth, the contents (icons) of the window "shake" and it seems to go fuzzy.

I have a GF4 Ti4600, using the latest drivers and I am using the DVI interface. I have enabled Clear Type.

Any suggestions, tips or tweaks? I anticipated ghosting during games but not against windows desktop!

It sounds like interference, not a problem due to response time. (This is actually the VESA definition of ghosting - interference, rather than motion blur associated with response time)..

Do you still have the problem with the 15 pin VGA cable? Maybe the connection is grounding at your video card.

Hello Kris!

How would I go about eliminating grounding?

Btw: if you have the interest, I have a thread about this on dslreports.com and maybe you could see what I have done about it:

I jumped on this monitor when dell had it on sale. I think it's a great monitor with very minor ghosting in games. I haven't experienced your problem, but I'll see if I can duplicate it tonight when I get home from work. I'm running it with a MSI TI4400 128MB through the DVI cable.

Thank you!!

well, I tried a whole bunch of different things but couldn't get anything like you mentioned. Everything is sync'ed at 60Hz 32-bit @ 1280x1024. there is some ghosting then you move the window but nothing "shakes".

If I had my camcorder with me... I'd make a .wmv movie out of it and show you what I mean.
