BenQ G2420HD Issues

Can anybody for the love of god tell me what this is and why it has been present on the original I purchased AND the RMA replacement I was sent.

If I turn the contrast up to about 70 so I have to wear sunglasses to prevent myself from going blind I cant see it but when I have the brightness and contrast at the perfect levels I get this on near enough every site I go on besides a few.

I get this effect on comingsoon, curse site for wow addons and wowace as well as several other sites that have a white or close to white color.

This also has a very noticeable effect when moving windows.

I am running this system.
i5 3750k stock
nvidia GTX260
MSI Z77A-GD65
DVI Connection

I also noticed this effect when I plugged my parents laptop into the monitor via VGA.

Here is the video, it is a lot more noticeable in person.

I am hoping this is not typical behavior of HD monitors, I am coming from a 1280x1024 Viewsonic VX922 and so far I am underwhelmed with this model of monitor.

I think you forgot to mention one thing, the actual problem. What is this 'effect' you're talking about? All I can guess now is that you're seeing the cleartype effect? But then it wouldn't make sense to see it when moving windows. It uses a TN-panel so it shouldn't suffer from major ghosting.. I'm confused as to what this effect is that you're perceiving.

There is a youtube link, will show the problem.

Watched the video before the previous post, I don't see the problem and looking at the lack of replies it seems I'm not alone.

I can see it clearly even on my mobile phone using the youtube link above.

The problem is I get the text kinda sticking when the page moves up or down so if I scroll down I can see the thread title then half of the title in blue just below it.
