This is interesting.. I bought a 1900FP manufactured in 2002 (out of warranty) to replace my 19" viewsonic crt.
Before I even plugged it in, I tried powering it up. It has a floating hardware screen-saver that shows red green blue and white. the colors appear correct, however as it moves across the screen there is a ~2-3 second ghosting effect. Attempting to browse the web like this is like XP's fading menu's, but much more annoying. The mouse pointer becomes invisible unless it stays in the same place ~2-3 seconds.
I was just wondering if this is a common problem. Didn't see anything in google, but figured it's worth a try. I only spent 100$ on this monitor, so if it's a user fixable problem I'd like to avoid buying a new one for $550+
of note: it does *occasionally* (maybe for 2 minutes after about 10-15 minutes of ghosting) bounce back into normal mode, which is somewhat brighter onscreen. response returns to normal, and it has a nice, clear picture. Attempted using different video cables, both dvi and analog, same issue.
Appreciate any help
