I recently purchased a mint Sony GDM-F520 22" CRT from a reputable online seller a few months ago and have been pleased with the display until a few days ago. It has developed an annoying habit of echoing text and vertical lines intermittently. The only way to describe it is that it will ghost or echo text and vertical lines to the right about 4-5 times gradually fading out. It is only noticable on high contrast backgrounds like white and black. Lowering the resolution down helps to make the ghosting less noticable. I have read that this ghosting is caused by signal bounce (ringing) within the VGA cable. I am using the Sony factory cable and switching to a Radio Shack cable with ferrite cores didn't help either. Any thoughts on how to figure out if the monitor, VGA cable or video card is the culprit? Thanks.
