I have recently purchased the Samsung LE26R41B TFT HD ready 26 inch LCD TV for general home entertainment purposes including X-box 360 and PC gaming. Having connected the panel to my pc via VGA, I am noticing significant ghosting within certain games. The ghosting/smearing particularly occurs where there is movement on scenes with blacks against greys, but it may also occur where there are high contrast differences between colours. For example, where there is a dark/black object in a game, when I move I get a black/grey smudging of that object on the opposite side to the direction I am moving in. It only lasts a split second, but during games with lots of movement, it is distracting.
Generally speaking the TV seems to be excellent especially for DVD, and many games appear to run without any noticeable ghosting. The games I have noticed it in so far are Quake 4, Half Life 2, Guild Wars, GTA San Andreas and Virtual Pool 3 (around the red balls against the green background). I can also replicate the ghosting using tests found online.
Has anyone else with this model noticed any ghosting? I have contact Samsung, and they have kindly offered to pick up my TV for testing (I am very persuasive!). However, I am now concerned that the test centre will simply state that the ghosting is normal for a LCD (or they will not notice it at all), and I will not have my TV back for another 3-4 weeks.
Is this sort of image distortion normal for this model? If it is, I will stop moaning!
Many Thanks
