Glowing, streaking on 19"

[Rebel7254]

I have a Cornerstone p1460 19" monitor. I'm having several problems with it. I contacted a Cornerstone hardware engineer with my problems. I mentioned that it light things next to a darker background (it's not limited to just black and white) produce a nearly half inch glow into the dark back ground. Stuff also streaks when it moves, most noticably in games. Well, he said this is common for monitors of this size. What I want to know is how many of you with 19" flat screen CRT monitors are having this problem.

Rebel7254, I have a 19" monitor and I don't have the issue you are describing. Perhaps Cornerstone is trying to get away from replacing you CRT, or perhaps it may be a video card setting/issue

I don't really have an answer for you, more of an opinion. I have the AOC 9KLR 19" pure flat screen and encounter the same issue you have with the contrast bleed/fade. Anyway, I've never really looked into it because I assumed it was the quality of the tube. Two of my friends have the same monitor and the same issue, a third has the KDS model and it has a trinitron tube. Needless to say his picture is beautiful, even when swapped to my machine.

I have a Sony G400 without those problems. I do get a weird rippling distortion at 85 Hz, but that's a different issue.
