Those don't necessarily rule out signal degradation. 1) Iiyama may have given you a lousy cable; 2) Windows may not be cranking the signal as hard, and textmode almost certainly isn't. Ghosting is less of a problem at lower pixel clocks. I don't know enough about field effects and signal stuff to know exactly why, but this has been my experience. -- G.
