[sdiy] off topic: question about video leads

[John L Marshall]

It sounds like you have standing waves from an impedance mismatch. The two cables and the terminations at the end of the cables should be of the same impedance to stop signal reflection. The KVM switch can also cause signal reflection.

Take care,
John

  I'm sorry, i know its off topic, but, the thing is, i know someone here will know all the answers ; )

  Ive just acquired a new pc monitor, which is somewhat larger than my original one.  Trouble is, im getting ghosting (on stationary items, like text and stuff)

  It didnt have a cable hardwired to the back of it, and the cable that was given to me with it looks very 'cheap' (a lot thinner, and more flexible then any monitor cable on my other 'hardwired' monitors)

  Is this something that i can solve with an upgraded cable, do you think?  

  I do have a kvm switch in there, but ive always had it, and there was never an issue with my previous monitor.

  Again, im sorry this is way off synthesizers - i just have the utmost confidence in the knowledge pool here, i guess ; )

  Cheers, Julian
