Getting weird ghosting blur in tf2 on new monitor.
Hi everyone, I'm having bit of an issue, and need a little help on fixing it.

I've recently purchased a new monitor, it's a 25"inch at a reselection of 1920 x 1080 with a 2ms response time. However when I try to play tf2 it tends to get ghosting of the background images when I'm running around.

like the background all goes blurry for some odd reason. I have two 6850 radeon video cards and have tested the game on both of them with the same results. I've tried so many settings to no avail. For some reason tf2 gets ghosting on this new monitor, all my other games run perfectly with no ghosting none what so ever. Tf2 seems to be the only game that is doing this right now.

my computer specs if you need them.

AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition 3.80GHz Coolit ECO Water cooler
patriot 8GB 2000mhz DDR3
2x Gigabyte Radeon HD 6850 1GB DDR5 OC Crossfire.
Western Digital Caviar Blue Hard Drive 1TB, 7200RPM
Diablotek RPM series 950watt psu
Microsoft Sidewinder x5 Gaming Mouse
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I believe ghosting generally has to do with the refresh rate. Try and change them in game to match your monitor? 60Hz is generally better for gaming. It is weird that it is only affecting the one game, so I imagine it must be the settings of TF2.

Yeah I've even tried setting the vysnc on and nothing happened. Same old issue. I'm guessing there might be something in my settings file that I can config to get it back and running.
