I have recently purchased a monitor from Best Buy, the L2210NW by Westinghouse, and when I installed it, after a week or 2 it started ghosting. So I returned it figuring it was just bad luck, I then got the L2610NW which was on sale, and it too ghosts. Anyways, I was wondering am I just unlucky, or could there be user error involved?

I had tried switching out the wires on them, since I heard poor quality ones can lead to ghosting, but that did not help.

I'm not sure if this will help, but I am using Windows Vista 64 bit, and dual Radeon 4850s.

Thanks for the help, and if more information is needed I'll gladly supply it.:)
 
I have the same 26'' LCD and mine is very good in most places with some minor ghosting.
I only really notice it with very small, bright white objects on a black background.
All of my FPS' look fine. The place I see it the most is in ARMA (3rd person view).
Funny thing is I wrote a really good, fair review for BUY.com and those chodes opted not to post it. Most other buyers were saying, "Oh I love it, it is perfect!' Blah...
It does ghost to a small degree but for $239.00 I cant complain.
Movies look spot on, most games look spot on and a small handful of games have some minor ghosting. Does it bother me? At first, yes it did but overall I just got over it and accepted the monitor for what it is: A large, cheap TN based panel with good brightness, color and a slight amount of ghosting.


I am running Windows7 64bit with a GTX260 pushing the monitor.
