I recently discovered a tip which I thought I'd share.

If you have any monitor "ghosting" on your LCD -

just try moving the PC-Monitor cable around a bit,

it can remove the visual artefacts from the screen.

I had horizontal ghosting which was fixed by a simple

repositioning of the cable.

Worst case scenario - replace the cable;

best case scenario - just move it (it worked for me).

yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']

i'm only agruing this on the grounds of technology

 

Bugger it , How stuff works would do a better job then me explaining it for those who don't know

With less electricity to produce an image , it would be more controlable and how the current is managed etc

 

and yeah i have looked at some google links and most of those stories involve LCD's with response times of 21ms , 16ms and 8ms and most of them are dated. i did read 2 pages , not going to view them all

 

 

mines 2ms with a good cable

 

and just then Gossy tells me it happens when people don't plug in thier LCD's properly , i assumed people would plug them in properly when pluging in thier devices ! :rolleyessmileyanim: and of course faulty cables

 

from what i know , devices won't start if they don't get enough juice and most of time no power at all

yeah - i was surprised how simple it was to fix

:)

Yeah that sort of issue is probably from Electrical Interference, this is most likely because you monitor cable is too close to a power cable (Maybe in your wall) and hence why moving it can help to fix the issue.

 

If my phone line is too close to a power cable my modem will drop out on a regular basis (No its not because of insufficient filtering, modem is very sensitive). Move the cable away from power and it works flawlessly.
