ghosting on LCD TV

Hi All, i have a 26" LCD TV 1360x768, and have noticed like a shadow around the text and all boxes on the right hand side of them.

is this ghosting and if so how can i alliviate this as it is a bit of a pain after a while. i have practised with powerstrip and messed with some timings but not managed to actually sort it out.

i also have 2 vga cables, and old one and a belkin gold which i got today, neither solve it.

Samsung LE26R41BD btw!

edit: poor image here

We won't be able to see your ghosting from a screengrab, only a photo. All that can be seen in that picture is a poor quality jpeg.

What you're describing doesn't sound like ghosting (moving image trails), rather a repeated image (I have heard this referred to as ghosting on PAL TVs). If you can use the DVI link that should stop the problem (I believe your screen has a DVI or HDMI), or get a better quality (well shielded) VGA cable.
