Have an AOC 22" LCD monitor that is a couple of years old. It has a weird ghosted square that appears on the upper top left of my screen. The display in that area is lighter than the rest of my screen. I have the latest driver downloaded, correct resolution set and so on. I have a brand new Power Spec computer with Windows 7. It did the same thing with my older computer which had XP. When I am restarting and the "monitor" menu comes up during start-up, the display area is temporarily reduced and the square shows up there. It moves to the outer corner of the screen when start up is complete. So, this is not a bad pixel issue. Any ideas? I had originally thought it had to do with the older video card in my other computer.

Hi and welcome to the forums. The closest I could find was this: http://www.fixya.com...n_much_brighter I don't know if it will be much help, and from what I have seen, it may mean a new monitor is in order. You tried it on another computer with the same results, so that would rule out the computer.

Try a different video cable? Does changing the screen res to something much lower help? (since that means less bandwidth used on the video cable) For instance, use 800x600 instead of whatever the native res is.
