I bought the 20" cinema display a few weeks ago for my PowerMac G4 MDD. I also had to get the ADC to DVI adapter since my vid card only has the ADC connector. I love the display, it beats the carp out of my old 19" crt. Something I noticed however, I get ghosting that is very noticeable when viewing this screenshot. Of course I can't capture the ghosting since it is occurring after the signal leaves the vid card. But here is a pic I took using my digi camera:



You might be wondering why the screen cap is of an XP desktop. Well the web app I use to check stocks runs on Windows IE only. Bastards. Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone notices ghosting on their monitors when viewing the screen cap I linked above. I'm hoping it's just a flaw with the ADC/DVI adapter.

It may be interference from the ADC to DVI adapter. Might not be well shielded/defective. Try replacing it. If that doesn't help, try the monitor on a different machine if possible, one were the adapter isn't needed (even a PC will do). That way you can rule out the monitor itself as defective.
