Mambo Boy Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 The interted image might just show up normally for everyone (because it could just be a problem with my monitor and not graphics card. I'll describe the problem. I came on my computer for the first time since Sunday, only to notice the text and graphics all look a bit strange. I looked into it a bit further and it seems there's a slight 'ghosting' (or a dull glow if that better describes it) to the right of every image/graphic/text.. Most people could put up with it but i'm finding it highly annoying. I've tried uninstalling and installing the card drivers again,but to no avail...what could cause this?:s how could I fix it? :wacko: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/357243-strange-graphics-ghosting-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
drshdw Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Do you have a digital camera? Try using that. Also if you have a LCD, try setting it at it's native resolution.

Oh and my monitor is a CRT..only about 2/3 months old! I'm sure it's a graphics card related problem though (FX5900 77.72 drivers..not overclocked)) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/357243-strange-graphics-ghosting-problem/#findComment-586360832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mambo Boy Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Ok so i took this with my digi cam. you'll have to look very closely to see what i'm talking about. it doesn't look too annoying in the screenshot,but next to every image or text, it can be quite hard on the eyes! :cry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/357243-strange-graphics-ghosting-problem/#findComment-586360894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted August 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2005 if this is on an LCD and its going though an analog VGA port (not the white DVI one) then this is kinda common with certain cards and monitors under certain refresh rates Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/357243-strange-graphics-ghosting-problem/#findComment-586360931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mambo Boy Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 It's a CRT monitor :s The thing is i don't know how long its been like it for or why it's doing it. But Now i've noticed it, it's just keeps bugging me. And i'm sure it's giving me headaches!:( The images are tolerable, but the text looks like that 3D stuff you need to put those glasses on for and it's straining my eyes to read stuff :no: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/357243-strange-graphics-ghosting-problem/#findComment-586360996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drshdw Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 There's probably something wrong with the syncing. If your videocard's RAMDAC was corrupt or something, it'd look a lot worse.

N_B Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I can't see any anomalies in your screenshots, but from what it looks like in your photos I had the exact same problem with my old Hyunday ImageQuest Q910, and it sure is a problem with the monitor, not the graphics card (I'm using a new Q910 on the same card now, no problems). I got the monitor replaced from the vendor.

Mambo Boy Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 ^ What I was going to say. 586361083[/snapback] Yep, tried degaussing a few times, but nothing happens. The monitor i have at the moment is one I got from the warrenty of the last one. Hmm...i'll email the tech support now.

The support seems very good, but it's annoying that this monitor has only lasted around 3-4 months!

Code.Red Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I just want to say that the first shot of Windows Picture Viewer, it always does this, for whatever reason it always adds the extra white pixels to the right and bottom when zooming in, its just weird like that, and I haven't seen a computer that doesn't do it. I can tell from the actrual picture that there is ghosting though, but wouldn't know anything about that.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted August 11, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2005 Sounds like your CRT is dieing 586361057[/snapback] Yep, that's the most likely answer. mines dying, i have slight ghosting, and i have this really bad colour "smearing" problem.
