Recently I've noticed my monitor has been "ghosting" for lack of a better term. Everything has a blurr to the right of it, but the thing itself is just as sharp as normal. I haven't changed any settings recently, and haven't downloaded any programs either.

I've tried to mimic the effect in photoshop, the :ugeek: smiliy is what I'm seeing, except everything (pictures, text, menus, tabs, toolbars, etc. is like this.
Any ideas of what's going on or how to fix it? It's making spotting pixel trash that much more difficult. :|

First, what kind of monitor are you using (CRT or LCD, or something more exotic)?
Second, have you tired re-seating all cables?
Third, have you tried the monitor on a different computer, or a different monitor on the system in question?

Have you tried to excorcise the ghost? :)

It's an LCD, and I've just tried re-seating the cables and it's fixed now.
Thanks TJ! :D
