Question Have verry strange glow around objects on monitors

[Clem218]

I have had these problems on 2 different computers (dell optiplex 3070 /3050 )with 2 different monitors and different cables dvi-hdmi and vga dvi hdmi It only effects one monitor and the other it effects both idk can you help

Could be a problem with the monitors too.

Please include the model, SKU and form factor to your Dell Optiplex's as well as the make and model of your monitors.

There's only so much you can explain with words that you need to rely on other forms of media to explain your predicament.

Please take pictures(and or a video) and host them on a site akin to Imgur, to illustrate what you're experiencing.

Are these Dells using integrated video (not using video cards)?

Also, what adapters are you using (if anything other than a direct VGA to VGA, DVI to DVI, HDMI to HDMI, etc) to connect your display(s)?

No direct cable for vga i am using a hdmi to dvi for when messing around see what's wrong

This is VGA ghosting, it happens with poor quality analog connections. It should go away when using HDMI-to-DVI connection though.

I have ordered a better quality vga cable to be honest the cable I am using is just a £2 one I bought from local shop so I guess il find how when the new one arrives
