I think my LCD is broken...I can't seem to adjust contrast in DVI. Only brightness. No matter which button I hit it only brings it to contrast screen.

Don't most LCDs do autoadjust? In the manual there should be an explanation of the autoadjust setting that will make the image automatically perfect for your screen. That's how it works on my Dell 1504FP and it works awesomely. I don't see any ghosting on UT2003.

And you are worried why?

Don't play on a CRT and an LCD at the same time then

Thats cuzz of the lcd technology. It just doesn't refresh as quickly as a CRT does. They have made recent improvements though, and you usually can't tell, but once you notice it, you always look for it.

<== ghosting monkey dance

If it's not easily noticable then wtf do you care? You're not going to be looking for ghosting when you're concentrating on a game, and if there's no noticable "lag" from it then what diff does it make?

I got the 2000FP connected via DVI, no ghosting here.

Instead of saying "I got an LCD, nope no ghosting here" Maybe people should say "No noticable ghosting".

sounds reasonable to me.

It is not possible to change the contrast setting, maybe because I'm using DVI not too sure. Auto adjust is not nessecary with DVI, and it does nothing. With my NEC though it will auto adjust if the picture gets screwy.

That doesn't seem right. With my Planar 19", I'm using the DVI connection. Even though I've "auto" adjusted the picture, I'm still able to tweak the contrast settings if I desire to. Hopefully, someone with the same monitor will chime in here and provide some input as to whether this is an issue in general with this monitor - or, if it's just a problem with your specific LCD monitor.
