Steve: Ghosting on these monitors is usually caused be improper shielding on your cable. Most of the cheap monitor cables sold are single shield cable. The best monitor cable should be ISP which is Individual Shielded Pair. The type of cable would have a reference of 3ISP plus 2 which is an ISP for each of R, G, & B plus H sync and V sync which do not require shielding. All of the cables are then jacketed in an overall shield. In addition the cable should have ferrite chokes at both the monitor end and the card end. I had quite a problem with this on my monitor / keyboard switch box until I resorted to this method of ISP throughout including the switch. It was quite a job custom wiring it all but was worth it to get rid of the annoying ghosts.
