2005FPW ghosting problems

Question

Hello So I bought a new 2005FPW, and its beautifull.  I'm not having any of the backlight issues (thank god), but I am having a problem with ghosting while playing World of Warcraft.  That is, when I turn to the side quickly the screen blurs.  It can cause some major headaches.   I'm running on a P4 2.6 gig, 1 gig of ram, cable modem   Video card is an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, 128 meg, brand new, with the updated driver from ATI's webpage.     Does anybody know how to fix this?  I've spoken to other people who have this monitor and they claim they dont' have the ghosting.  I would hope that this video card would be able to support it, since it was in Dell's list of video cards they recomend for the monitor, and that is the reason I bought it.   Thanks

I don't think that there is a fix. I believe it is a side effect of LCD. I just got my monitor yesterday and I noticed the 'motion blur' right away when playing Desert Combat. I have gotten used to it already and it doesn't bother me that much. The only headache I'm getting is from the brightness of this thing. Good Lord, you almost need sunglasses when looking at anything white. I do have the backlight problem everbody is mentioning. Really disappointing. I expected more from Dell. I don't have any dead pixels that I can see, but this glow in the lower left corner is really annoying me.

I am having problems with World of Warcraft as well. My monitor worked fine until WoW crashed on me. Now I get this red ghosting on all dark colors not only in game but everywhere else. I know this is not the nature of the monitor because my brother has the same monitor and I have no problems when I play WoW at his place. There must be a way to troubleshoot this.

And still no response at all from Dell?  Come on guys, some people have this monitor and it works fine, others have it and they have ghosting, obviously this should be either a fixable problem or a bug.  Can I get any help here?
