Display problems

tetano · 01-09-2006, 11:31 AM

Hi guys, I have a very strange problem with my display. My video card is an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600XT, and the monitor I'm using is a DSL-15D1T from Daewoo. I post here an image to explain my problem. as you can see, there is a sort of distorsion of the screen.. as tv, or when I use it with my DVD player, evereything is ok, the only problem is when I use it plugged into my computer. any idea?

What I see there is called ghosting.
It is usually caused by an unshielded video cable.
I have the same problem because I'm using
cheap unshielded KVM cables.

thanks a lot, so what I have to do is simply to get a new cable?

Quality cables can block this kind of interference. Keeping themaway from other cables, especially ones for electricity. Flourescent bulbs also dump tons of electromagnetic interference into a room.

Since that is an LCD TV and not a monitor, it probably has a very slow response time, which can also cause the ghosting.

I tried to look up what the response time is and on Daewoo's site, it doesn't list the response time in the specs, so it is probably slow.

ok, I'll try a different cable, since there are no light behind the tv, and no other cable a part from the power supply cable and the audio cable... I will also try to unplug the audio cable... Thanks a lot!

uhm... I feel a bit stupid... I'm answering this post using my iBook, since I'm at work, and the screenshot looks fine, so I have to explain it better... What I see when I use that tv as monitor is a sort of distorsion in the middle of the screen, like a ball, if I move a vindow from the left to the right the window becomes larger and larger in the middle of the screen, and then returns normal in the other side of the monitor...
