Dell 21inch monitor
Just bought a new Dell 21 inch Trinitron monitor. For some reason Im
getting really bad ghost images on all my text and pics. I've tried playing around with the display setttings and no such luck. Im running winxp, any ideas what the problem is. My old monitor worked perfectly, and IM just wondering if its some s/w setting im missing here or did I just end up with a faulty monitor.

Check the connection, make sure there arent any bent or broken pins.

In Display Properties / Appearance / Effects try disabling (unticking) edge smoothing of screen fonts. I find that it makes display worse rather than better on large monitors. Alternatively it could be the monitor or your graphics card unable to drive the monitor hard enough (output impedance too high, unable to absorb signal reflections). I found Matrox cards the best at driving large monitors.

boot into bios and look at characters near corners of screen. If you can
see the red/blue pixels separated from the characters, the convergence is out of adjustment

Sounds like another faulty Dell monitor.
