Angry Ghosting!?

Recently i have noticed my LCD monitor (BenQ) leave ghosting images VERY easily after 5-10 min, it seems to go away after a while if i leave the monitor off but im starting to wonder if its time for a new monitor. I've only had this one for a little over 3 years?

Hello Broken.
I had ghosting happen to a brand new monitor.

If you have updated drivers and done all the usal resets and fiddles with controls then yes you do need a new monitor.It will only get worse and you may get a alomst complete one colour like green on your screen.

Ghosting is hard to read also seems blured text and pictures on the screen.

Although have you tried a diffrent cable?

That's a TV almost. It does 1080p.
6ms isn't great. Try for under 6ms.


TTFN.
