New 2407 Problem?

[djohn]

Hi guys, making a post for a friend of mine who is waiting for forum registrataion to come through.

Received a new 2407 from ocUK today and seems to have a slight problem. Here are is specs.

AMD 2400+

1GB RAM

Sapphire ATi x800 Pro [AGP]

DVI connected.

Catalyst 6.5

XP recognises the monitor as the 2407. Drivers are installed from the supplied disk.

Same on all resolutions.

Problem is:

When I move something over a white background, I see 'green ghosting' folowing the movement, very little mind you but noticebale.

Likewise if I move a window then I can see the ghosting.

However, if I play a game then I do not appear to see it. The same goes for playing DVD's!

I've swapped the DVI cables and it's still the same.

I've played about with the settings, brightness etc and I would say there was actually a difference but the ghosting still seems to be present.

When I scroll webpages it's also ghosting, but it depends what is displayed on the screen.

In WMP 10 when I scroll down my library, the ghosting is no where to be seen.

I have changed the res. and ghosting is still there.

grateful for any help/advice you guys can give.

How experienced are you with LCD screens? What you're experiencing sounds like standard ghosting, although there is a possibility that there could be more to it I suppose. Ghosting is generally less noticeable in gaming since there're less stark blocks of colour than those in the OS.

Thanks Mud. My friend got in touch with OC and Dell and it looks as though it may be a fault. Both have arranged to send a new monitor as it was only 1 day old at point of checking, [Just unpacked] so he's not sure if two new ones are coming or what. I will keep you updated.
