This LCD ain't that bad for $299 AR

Ordered a Cornea 17" LCD from Amazon on Monday (free shipping) and got it today. Ghosting apparent when playing high framerate games (i.e. Quake3, CS) but not at all noticeable when playing GTA:VC or any non-FPS game (I think its a 20ms display.)

The characters look like crap.

they are shadowed...actually, its more the fault of the camera. I can't use the flash to take a pic of the screen (would reflect off surface) and even with the light on, the camera's auto whitebalance turns down the color when pointed at the screen, and then the 'shaky image' warning comes on cuz there's no flash!!

1280x960 for CS (how do I get it to 1280x1024?? Won't let me choose it in menu, can't edit the .inf file either?)....1280x1024 for Quake3

Oh, bummer.
I assume that 1280x1024 is native for that screen, which means you really can't improve upon it.
Don't know about CS, except maybe it doesn't like 5:4 resolutions?
