I originally thought this was an issue with the LCD's anti-glare coating, but it is something much more bizarre.
Basically, if I use some monospaced "system" fonts in my IRC or Telnet windows (fonts like Fixedsys, Terminal), the font will ghost across the screen. This ghosting is only visible if there is a window or dialog box over top of the screen with the actual text. So, for example, you have mIRC running full-screen in the background and a Windows dialog box pops up over it. You'd see the ghosting on the dialog box.
This isn't a matter of window transparency, though it resembles that. It seems like text is showing THROUGH the dialog box on top of it. Only thing is, it doesn't ghost actual text, just... little vertical lines. Very weird. I would've noticed this with my FP1702 that the 2005FPW replaced, so this is something new.
Do the 2005FPWs choke with system/monospaced fonts? Or is this monitor defective? If I change fonts away from Fixedsys and use something like Verdana, there aren't any problems.
I am using the latest drivers for my ti4600 and the 2005, and am also using the DVI interface at the intended resolution (1680x1050). I've also tried tweaking the monitor settings... the only thing that clears this problem up is the "Zoom" feature, but then everything looks crummy when zoomed. Also doesn't show up on lower resolutions. This problem seems to only occur at the intended (max) resolution for the 2005.
