Was: re: Monitor Choice (Poll), now Monitor "ringing"

["Hull, Mitchell" <MHull@TLNA.COM>]

I have this problem pretty badly-using a G450 graphics card, first with a
Cornerstone (shadow mask)   , then with my current KDS AV95T (aperture
grille) monitor.  Most notable with a pure black image-the white scroll bars
on the edge of the Photoshop window (for instance) ghost pretty badly into
the black.  Its far worse on the left side of the monitor-which is next to
an old monitor I use for my PS palettes, running off the G450's dualhead.
Tried moving that monitor some and got no effect on the main monitor

I tried two Cornerstones before sending getting a refund from MonitorsDirect
(nice people), and the KDS didn't do it so badly at first, but 6 months
later its annoying me quite a lot.

What's the cure-new cable?   I don't think I can swap the cable out of the
KDS, its hard-wired.  Of course, I DO know a skilled video technician who
could probably fix something up for me, voiding the warranty in the
process....

I'm using a 21" Nokia with a Matrox Marvel G450 graphics card. The card has
a 300MHz DAC, I believe, and I'm running 2048x1536@71Hz
<mailto:2048x1536@71Hz> . With conventional cables, I can see the ringing,
slightly. For instance, if I open a Notepad window, and look at the left
edge of the white background, I can see a couple faint vertical lines that
are ghosts of the window's border.
