    I got a new samsung 19 inch flat panel monitor, and it has a pretty bad motion blur. Whenever I move the mouse, there is a trail even though I have the trails off, and when I play games, whenever I move it blurs.

    I have a crappy pci graphics card, am using the monitor at a 1280 by 1024 resolution, and tried it with both analog and digital (my monitor can do both) and both have the motion blur.

    I think it could be the crappy graphics card but I am not sure. Could I please have some help here?

    I'm building a new comp with a pci-express graphics card, so if its the graphics card, I wont bother to buy a new one for this comp.

    it is 1 of my trademark sayings just like "do you hear the thunder approaching" is my other saying for spammers. i gave you direction in what to do so that you taught yourself something & you learned something. teach & learn

    It's also the only words ddp knows how to spell correctly...his Teach & Learn saying!!! <G>

    As far as your monitor goes, it should not have that trail effect that you are speaking about, and my guess is that it is your graphics card as ddp suggested.
