Heh, sounds like you've got a bunk VGA cable that's causing echoing. If it supports it, use DVI (a large, often white connector with slanted pins inside the plug) instead of VGA. Just plug that cable into your computer and unplug the VGA (15-pin connector with round pins) cable from the monitor.

Or, get a new VGA cable up to today's standards! Crappy, cheap VGA cables aren't designed properly and don't have coaxial (like a TV cable) signal wires. That is what causes signal loss and shadowing - poor (or too long!) cables.

If you don't want to spend the extra money on a new (or maybe just shorter) cable, or if it's built into the monitor, you might want to look at your video card inside the computer. If the VGA connector (which you plug your monitor into) is attached to the card via a ribbon connector (a thin grey cable), that would also be your problem. Might, then, want to grab a DVI-to-VGA adapter and use the DVI connector's VGA output, which is likely connected directly to the card, bypassing the noise of the ribbon cable.

All else said and done, no matter what you do, everyone with an LCD over a VGA connection should run an "auto-adjust" with this website on their screen: lagom.nl - Clock/Phase test. You will get the most crisp image your screen has ever seen, if you're at the right resolution
