Hey everyone,

I have a Gateway FPD1810 18.1 inch flat panel LCD. I've had this monitor for about a year now with flawless operation. However, as of two days ago I began to notice weird iamges on my screen when I have a window open with a black background (i.e xterm or DOS window). Not sure if this is what is considered ghosting...

Take a look at this image I took with my digital camera of my screen, its the POST screen. Let me know what you thing this might be.

Tonight I will take it and test it on another computer computer, maybe its the videocard???

I as mentioned I use the DVI out of my videocard, but I also tried using the analog out - same problem.

I hope someone can shed some light.

yeah that looks like some kind of ghosting. damn...
well, let's not think worst case scenario just yet.
you could have some sort of intereference messing up your video
signal. check for other electronic appliances near your monitor, cables, etc.
move anything you can away or, better yet, move your computer and monitor away
