You mean it has burn-in? You can see a vague (or not so vague) outline of something that's not there?

yea thats what I mean

 

[andy faith]

cant have a crt on a laptop unless you plug it in. and if you've got "burn-in" then theres nothing you can do about it as far as I know.

what do I need a new screen or something else

 

[oscaryu1]

Ghosting is when the LCD is not fast enough to display the image... 12MS VS 2MS in other words. It could be your monitor or video card not made for gaming, ect. Get an new laptop monitor or external monitor?

 

[Jabes]

its not when I'm gaming its when I'm just using it normal

 

[ride3k]

sounds like burn-in

 

[Jabes]

wat should I do

 

[oscaryu1]

Either try an external display... or... well there's pretty much nothing else...

PS - "laptop CRT"????

 

[Jabes]

wat if I get a new lcd will that fix it?

 

[andy faith]

Unless there's an "better" type of LCD, all your LCD's you buy have the same specs. So maybe, and maybe no.

 

[Jabes]

for your laptop?
