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.

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.
