my new monitor.....

[icyarrows]

it has a tv tuner. I play my ps2 on it but it has worst ghosting that my 5 yr old TV. Its 25ms i think. would playing through a tv tuner be better?

If the ghosting is due to the refresh, the TV tuner or lack thereof probably won't make any difference. Rather you need a faster refresh like 16 ms, which means a different monitor.

why is my TV better?

 

[icyarrows]

but how come in PC mode, when i play games, i get no ghosting AT ALL?

TV has a faster refresh rate...your lcd seems to have a low responce time. THe pixels can't change quickly enough and you get ghosting as a result. See if it is 25ms and try to speed up the response time in your monitor properties

ok. it is in a "TV" mode. It is 25 ms. should i run my ps2 though my comp and try to tune it there?

i can put up the refresh rate up to 200 on my LCD, but ONLY in the PC mode. Not the AV2 mode.

it would be helpful to everyone if you specified exactly WHAT your new monitor is.

the lack of ghosting on your old TV is because it is a CRT, completely different technology than LCD, and has no issues with delay while the subpixels "twist" into position. rather, the firing, or not firing, of the electron gun is near instantaneous in determining whether the pixel glows.

Yep, what he said. CRT's (traditional TV's) generally have such a fast refresh rate that ghosting is almost never an issue. LCD flat panel displays often have ghosting issues because they can't twist/untwist each pixel fast enough to elimitate the ghosting. The lower the number, the less ghosting you will see.... many say you need 16 ms or lower to avoid ghosting on an LCD.
