Sounds like normal LCD panel motion blur, but you don't give any support system information, so that's a wild guess on my part.

Need system specs, information, etc.

Maybe your LCD panel is ghosting due to a high response time?

In short, you have a low-quality LCD monitor. Due to the high response time, fast images leave little ghosts of themselves behind, thus ghosting.

Dell monitors and the LCD panels they use isn't always consistent, I hear it's a crapshoot whether or not you actually get a good LCD panel (not the Dell model, it's just a frame) or not. You may have been unlucky in what LCD panel you got unfortunately.

What's the response time in milliseconds?
