[GLLUG] Display Ghosting - slightly off topic

[Sean]

It is typically caused by cross-talk where the signals jump acrossed the 
wires. It is typically caused by two things. A cable that wasnt made to 
run at that high of resolution. OR you have outside interference this 
includes the cable itself ie it is wound up in a ball. to too close to the 
monitor or wrapped acrossed the processor, scsi cables, fans, etc. 

Bad connections can cause this also. 

The fix is usually buy a new cable or provide shielding for it. 

The bad connections can be fixed with electrical contact cleaner but be 
careful with that stuff.
