What causes the shadow effect on text? I've seen it both in Excel and in the flight sim. Could this mean that the monitor is going out? I've also had some weird experiences with FSX with the A2A B-17 when switching views the scenery becomes distorted and the screen turns black, but I can still hear the sound from the flight sim.

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

O/T Monitor Question
- Thread starter airtj
- Start date
Once or twice I've had that happen (shadowed text), and traced the fault to a monitor connection on the back of the computer that was slightly loosened. In my case I've got an adapter between the monitor's male plug and the female in the back of the computer. If this assembly is not exactly square with the back of the computer, that little shadow will appear, but a quick adjustment and retightening of the mounting screws will set things right.
I'm inclined to agree with the hardware opinion. Your screenshots look normal on my system.
