Please log in for more thread options finally flaked out on me. I bought a Hanns-G 19" Wide Screen (HW-193DPB). http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5750874 This monitor has a 5 ms. response time. However, I notice some "ghosting" in games, but not bad. The reviews I've seen for this monitor seem to be good, and say it's good for gaming. I thought it would come with a DVI-D cable, but it only came with the VGA. I'd have purchase one separately. Is the fact that I'm using an analog VGA cable instead of a DVI cable causing the "ghosting", or is it normal for an LCD of this quality? | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options input or the digital input. When you purchase low-cost LCD monitors, you need to check to see if it comes with both a analog and a digital input. Some low end LCD's are analog only. And even if it's both analog and digital, that doesn't mean it will come with both cables. It's another way for the manufacture to cut costs. It looks like your monitor is both analog and digital, but only shipped with the analog cable. | ||||||||||||||||

Well not really, it's a low-end monitor bested by just about any major brand, but often they are cheaper so to put it in perspective it's not a bad value if it meets your goals but it seems it does not, if you find the ghosting excessive. So the monitor may be acceptible to some, at it's price, but relatively speaking it's not so good compared to other LCDs. >I thought it

It would cause a similar ghosting at all times, not just during games but even on windows(?) desktop. | ||||||||||||||||

I got a 20" Samsung 204B and very satisified with it. The biggest negative was the $70 rebate hassle (they first rejected my rebate, I resubmitted, and after 5 months I finally got my check.) Have not seen any ghosting. If I needed a new monitor I'd get a widescreen. | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options When you pay that little for an LCD 19" monitor you really cannot expect
