Weird display issue
OK, so I will try to explain this as best as possible. I'm using Windows 7. It seems that all my desktop icons and even this windows I'm typing in has that weird slow motion drag. Remember back in Star Trak when the Enterprise would stop from warp drive that it had the trail of colour like a blur? Well that is what is happening to my screen. I've attached a screenshot and circled what I'm talking about in Windows Explorer. It also happens on my icons.
Win 7 64 bit
ATI 5830 video
Latest drivers I know of.
Viewsonic with VGA connection since the DVI is busted.
It could be the monitor as it is over 5 years old.

Re: Weird display issue
It looks perfectly normal in the screen shot you posted, no rainbows or funny shadows; which would point to your monitor, try swapping it with another monitor or try it on a different machine.
It could also be a problem with your video card, but that would cause additional and more severe symptoms of display corruption and video driver/full system crashes. If it is just showing crazy rainbow lines/shadows on one side of icons and other details with no stability issues then I'd say its definitely the monitor (or a rather unlikely major shielding problem with the VGA cable).

Re: Weird display issue
Kron, in the pic you see some greyish ghosting to the right of the text in explorer. That's what also happens on my icons. It's weird.

No, we don't. There's no ghosting in that image.CDN_Merlin wrote:...you see some greyish ghosting to the right of the text in explorer.
It's either your monitor or your VGA connection. Analog signals can have problems with ghosting, especially if the cable is not well-shielded and/or near something causing interference.
[Edit: I have a crappy cheap VGA cable on a KVM switch at home that gave me ghosting problems until I went to digital cabling.]

Re: Weird display issue
OK, so I looked at this post from my wife's laptop and it's fine. So either it's the monitor or the cable. I did have my speakers right next to the monitor. I've moved them down now and will let it go a few days.

Re: Weird display issue
Your monitor is a CRT? If so, it's your monitor. Actually a common age induced monitor failure. Replace it.

Yeah, tell me about it. My almost 6 year old Samsung 204b LCD died last Sunday.TechPro wrote:Your monitor is a CRT? If so, it's your monitor. Actually a common age induced monitor failure. Replace it.
One second its working fine, then the next second the LCD just dies instantly and it only ever shows a solid white screen. I checked all the capacitors (I had revived it from capacitor plague before), but they were fine. So now I have a new Dell U2414M, and its bloody huge.

It's an LCD not a CRT.

Re: Weird display issue
use auto-adjust from the onscreen menu, and get a new DVI-D cable.
I doubt the DVI port on either card or monitor are actually broken.

Re: Weird display issue
The DVI port on the monitor doesn't work. I've tried multiple cables and the screen shows "no image" all the time. I'm due for a new one anyways but have to wait until finances are better off.

Re: Weird display issue
and the DVI cables worked with other monitors?
did it stop working when the warranty ran out?

The dvi cables I'm not sure but I had 2 of them. The monitor had issues when using DVI when I would reboot. It would stay "no image" when I would reboot and I would have to hard boot it to work. Then on my old system it completely stopped working. I bought my new system and it only worked using VGA input. I've tried the DVI since and still no go. So I'm pretty sure the VI is toast. Like I said the monitor is about 5 years old.
