Ghost images in monitor
« on: February 06, 2015, 09:54:28 pm »
I just scored a couple of free monitors to setup my computer bench, and one of them gets a ghost image very quick, for example I open firefox and work sometime on a webpage, when I minimize the window, I can see the website address as a ghost. Same with the icons on the desktop, again this is not something happening after a long period of time, it is very quick.

Is this a hardware related issue on the monitor, maybe bad caps ?

These monitors were used on a hi-tech company office or lab and people sometimes don't care about them.

 I already checked for the cable and run a program to de-ghost the monitor (which worked) but after de-ghosting I got ghost image back very quick.

Please comment.

David.

Turn down the brightness and set the screensaver to kick in after 10 minutes.

Usually image ghosting is caused by cheap LCD panel and/or bad VCOM setting. VCOM can be adjusted by a potentiometer on the T-con board, usually.
