    Could somebody please tell me what exactly ghosting and streaking is ? I have a ZT 3000 notebook, and it is pretty nice LCD screen. Though it seems a bit bright. How do I change the resolution and additionally, could someone please help me figure out how to check for dead pixels, ghosting and streaking. I'd be really grateful.Thanks Puns

    Here's what I think I know. Ghosting is what you see on your tv set when you have bad reception of a channel and you see a second fuzzy image of the picture off set from a clearer, but also probably bad, image of whatever is on the channel. Laptop people use the term to refer to a different phenomena: screen lag. This happens when you play a game with framerates faster than what the lcd can keep up with, resulting in a smeared image. I have read of people checking for dead/stuck pixels by finding a green, red, white, or black bmp files and tiling it for the background.
