VGA to DVI - causing ghosting?

Hey

I just bought an LG 19" LCD (L1918S) 5ms response time monitor and at first i was very impressed (Coming from a 17' CRT) until i played some games. at first i didnt really notice it but i could see that when i panned my mouse in a game it would be a little bit stuttery/ blurry kinda, but i thought that made sense seeing as anything moving quickly will be blurry.

the more i played the more annoyed i got, until now i can barely play a game without getting really annoyed. before i bought my monitor i knew about the ghosting issues and did some research and every where i looked people would say over and over again that there is no ghosting whatsoever on a 5ms monitor or not even on a 8ms (if so only the slightest)

So now i think there must be something wrong with me or my setup because i can quite easily see the ghosting on my monitor.

So now what i want to know is: My monitor is an Analog LCD (apparently thats bad for an LCD) and my graphics card only has DVI ports (8800gts) so im forced to use a DVI converter. now i was wondering, could using a DVI converter instead of plugging into a plain Analog port cause this ghosting i experience?

Btw im running at its max of 1280x1024 at 75hz. (manual said summing about a supposed 60hz 'optimal' setting, 60hz isnt going to be enough though)

Please give any advice of what could be causing this ghosting.

LG makes some pretty bad products. They are much better at making other peoples components Your converting the signal should not create that much of a difference. Sounds like you just have a very crappy LCD.

60Hz would cause flickering on a CRT, but a TFT is a steady state screen.

60Hz will be fine.
