There's really not much you can do, but try to tighting up the screw on the cable, if it's loose it might cause the ghosting.<br />

I've tried your suggestions, to no avail. I guess I'll have to try a better cable.<br />

I have recently purchased a new computer desk which locates the CPU some distance from the monitor (a 15&quot; Optiquest). The cable from the monitor was not long enough, so I purchased a 6' long extension cable. Now my monitor shows &quot;ghost&quot; characters, especially in black on white screen displays.<br />
<br />
Is there anything I can do to reduce or eliminate the problem? The cable I purchased is a Belkin &quot;Pro Series&quot;. The package says that they also offer a &quot;high performance&quot; cable for 19&quot; and larger monitors.

Hardware

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.
