can't comment on that particular lcd, but that is a very common problem with 
a lot of them, it's called ghosting.   Personally I will never use an lcd as 
my main screen until they no longer make a good crt and I HAVE to switch. 
Some of the newer lcd's do not suffer from that problem, so you can get some 
that work fine.   Apparently just not that one.  Have you installed the 
monitors drivers?  I have heard of people with dell lcd's that had problems 
because they forgot to install the monitor drivers that came with the 
monitor.

Yeah - installed the Dell-supplied monitor drivers and I'm even running the 
HDMI cables instead of analog. Still get the ghosting. Using 1024x768 at 
75hz seems to be the most manageable with the field of view, etc. but it's 
like playing with Crisco smeared on your screen. I wish I could bring back 
my old CRT and place it next to the LCDs, but I don't know how I'd convince 
my boss it was needed for "research purposes"..................... 

Are you playing at its native resolution? Most LCDs, it's at 1280x1024 
and, with some LCDs, looks even sharper than most CRTs for some games.
