Alrighty, I bit the bullet and purchased a monitor switcher the other day so I can have my
pc and xbox360 hooked to the same monitor so I wouldn't have to keep rummaging under my desk to switch them out.
However, I get horrible ghosting effects now on my
PC monitor.
The 360's picture is flawless, a little washed out, but thats just because I really can't change anything on my monitor (still have to mess with brightness and contrast there..).
My questions are...
Is this a cause of the cable (i have 3 of them, two are horrendously ugly, the other not so bad but still noticeable) being 'bad'?
Is this going to happen regardless of what cable I use, meaning will me lengthening the distance between the
PC and the monitor cause ghosting effects just because of the added cable distance?
or could it be just because I got a cheap
monitor switcher?
If its just a cable issue, what then could I look for in a
VGA cable that could alleviate the ghosting problem? All the cables I have are missing 'pins' in them which I always thought was pretty normal sine there wern't any 'places/holes' for the pins. Would a male-to-male
VGA/
DVI cable work better? (i have a PNY 6800GT with a
DVI input slot...)
As always, thanks in advanced everyone!
