Monitor display

Question

I have a 20 inch Widescreen Digital Flat Panel monitor ~ purchased 5 months ago.  About a week ago I noticed that all text has a shadow following the text ~ same height as the text.  Other then the shadow, the display is good.  What is causing the shadow after the text?

imarjberg   What brand monitor? Dell or non Dell...... If Dell What type? Ultra or E series?

imarjberg · Answer

Its a Dell.  The Product Code is E207WFP, so, I'm assuming it is an E series

imarjberg, * Open the OSD * Open Color Settings * Choose User Preset * What are your current RGB settings?

You are educating this ol' granny.  I have paid no attention to those little buttons by the power button before.  After figuring out what OSD and RGB meant I can now tell you Red is set at +90, Green 87 and Blue +78.  Thank you.  Now, tell me where are they supposed to be set?

imarjberg,

Now you need to experiment with them. Move them all down by 5 and see if the issue goes away. Keep doing this until the shadowing stops. Then, let me know what the numbers are. These are the settings I use on my 2407WFP A04. Yours will differ but you get the idea.

Brightness = 50
Red = 84
Green = 85
Blue = 85

I moved the numbers down by 5 as you advised and up and various settings, but, nothing makes the horizontal shadowing get better or worse.  The shadowing is after (to the right) of text and pictures.  Would I be able to send you a screen print so you can see what it looks like?

The shadowing doesn't seem to be as bad ~ still have it, but, not as distinct, so, guess I need to do a little more tinkering
