About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

Since 7569 DaysIt only happens with Windows applications though, I don't notice it on the monitor menu itself (you know that little menu that pops up when you hit the button on your monitor), so I'm thinking it might be either the cable or the graphics card.
I wasn't sure if Print Screen would pick up the problem, so I recreated it in Photoshop. It looks almost exactly like this, like everything has a motion blur filter applied to the right side:
Has anyone run into a problem like this and figured out what was causing it?
The monitor and cable are only a few months old, and the graphics card is about 6-7 years old.
I've tried the auto adjustment feature on the monitor, changing refresh rates, but none of that did anything to help.
I'm thinking of scaling down Hardware Acceleration or write combining, do you think that might show if it's a graphics card problem?
edit
I've tried searching Google but I can't think of the right terms to use.
I keep coming up with articles on motion blur.
Since 7453 DaysFew things to try:
-Power off the monitor and leave it off for 10 minutes or so (if you haven't already, or if it's in standby all the time or something).
-Reseat the GPU.
-If possible clean AGP/PCI-e socket with compressed air.
-Re-install/update GPU drivers.
Also, I'd really be interested if the issue would show up in a print screen, and does this also appear when you boot up a game or something? Seems to be your GPU is the cause of this. But, it's hard to say really. Best thing to do is issolate the problem by trying another GPU, trying a different monitor, trying your monitor at a friends computer etc...
Good luck! :)

Since 7569 DaysThe thing is, I wouldn't be able to tell if Print Screen picks it up because I see it no matter what! lol.
With a background image or in a game I'm sure there would be too much going on to notice, but I do see it on the Bios boot up, so I guess that would rule out the graphics card, right?
I tried disabling Write Combining and scaled down Hardware Acceleration but neither one made a difference.
I tried powering off my monitor earlier this morning, and even shut down the computer for a couple hours but that didn't do anything either.
I'm trying to locate my old cable now (which I replaced because it was having flickering color problems), and I really hope that's the only culprit here.
I really don't want to spend a bunch of cash right now.
Since 7698 DaysI don't know the exact cause though, but on the monitors I tried that, it fixed the problem at least temporarily, then you would have to do it again.
Mods, stop changing my SIG! I'm going to end up banning you!

That was actually a problem my old cable had, but it produced different image problems.
The screen would get these flickering green and red color overlays that would only go away if you wiggled the cable, so I replaced it with this one which instantly fixed the problem.
(Samsung doesn't seem to be concerned with quality cables, heh. That thing was cheap as hell).
Anyway, since it was a different problem on that old wire, maybe I can still use it to troubleshoot this one.
Only one way to find out...

Since 7453 DaysI'd definitely try reseating the GPU and clean out some dust, and best would be to try the GPU on another computer or try another GPU on yours. The cable could be the culpritt, but my money's on the GPU (not real money though, monopoly money).

Since 7569 DaysThe color problem is back now, and actually it's less of a color overlay effect and more like entire color ranges get cutoff (red icons won't even show up, and sometimes green), but at least I can shift the cable around to get rid of the problem for a while.
Looks like I'm ordering a new one.
Anybody have a recommendation for a good VGA cable that isn't expensive?
The Startech cable I bought had a five star rating and Amazon customers raved about the quality.
It was only ten dollars, but I'm not sure if I should go for the same one this time.
I'd be willing to fork out 20 or 30 bucks for another high rated cable if anybody has one.
BTW, thanks for all the suggestions. I just tried the easiest stuff first, and thankfully it fell on the cable.
Since 7453 DaysGlad it's just the cable though! :)

Since 7569 DaysI get occasional interference when the washing machine or dishwasher switch cycles, but it doesn't cause the ghosting-like issue, more like roaming static.
Even though I was hesitant, I just bought another of the same model Startech cable.
If I made a mistake in doing so, at least it was only 10 bucks, plus I added a game and DVD to the cart to get free shipping :D
That should make me feel better!
This color problem is really getting on my nerves right now though, I hope they send it quick.

here's a link to the cable:
http://www.amazon.com/STARTECH-COM-MXT101MMHQ-Coax...
it's over twenty from the manufacturers site.
Since 7569 DaysThen again, now that I'm being rude about it you'd probably link me to some corn rope.

Since 7569 Daysaccording to others DVI suffers from interference just as well as the D-subs.
Why didn't I have this problem with all my CRT monitors, in the same frickin place with all the same equipment!?
This shit just sucks, that's all.
Since 7576 Days
Since 7569 DaysI hope it does.

Looks like interference and data loss can be even more of a problem with DVI, only manifesting itself in a different way.
Oh well, guess I'll find out in a few days.
Since 7569 DaysCase closed.
Since 7453 Days......
Ok, case closed..
