Hello!

I have a serious problem concering this diplay. A couple of days ago i saw that i have ghosting/afterglow (don't know the exact word) of Windows taskbar. I know that this happens with LCD displays and they disappear in a moment. Usually they appear when you change bright colored window to some darker one and you can see previous window's ghosting.

Now i got this from Windows XP's Classic Menu closebar. THe thing is it won't disappear NEVER-EVER!! After reboot, after i disconnect my monitor physically, change resolutions, depth bit, anything it's still in the top. What is wrong? How can i get rid of it?

I don't have any warrant left, because i bought this display at the end of 2005.

screen i took with my camera:



Can someone please help me?

Edit: also the stripe at the center of monitor is really ugly and STRONG. how could something like that stay in monitor? It's just some virtual picture (desktop).

Try putting on an all-white image and leaving it up for a day or two. Should help some.
