If you can post a photo taken through a lens on the glasses along with a screenshot we can view, we could help you determine if that was normal or not.

Here is his testing procedures:
[quote]"dannypageau"]Very strange problem.
Even more...
1- I booted my PC, make the test = many ghosting
2- after 15-30 min in 3D mode, ghosting disappear.
3- I return to 2D (never close the monitor)
4- Return to 3D many hours after working in 2D, remake the test = many ghosting
5- ... after 15-30 minutes in 3D, ghosting disappear a second time.
I wrote to Asus about this problem but I have not received a reply yet.
I also have an annoying buzzing sound emitted from the monitor when using 3D mode.
Do you have it? (it come from the top of the monitor when 3D is actived)[/quote]

You should ask him what his ambient temperatures are. LCDs have exhibited this issue in the past where cold temps can inhibit the transistors from switching fast enough. This can lead to ghosting or abnormally bad backlight bleed off a cold boot, but as he saw, the problem goes away as the panel warms up. Usually you only hear about this kind of thing when monitors are bought in the wintertime, left outside in the cold after being delivered, and turned on for the first time.
What's odd is that it sounds like after hours of 2D use with the monitor powered up, the ghosting will come back in 3D. Maybe the backlit LED are that much cooler than CCFL and only get warm enough once LightBoost kicks in for a bit? Does your problem also go away after a bit in 3D? What kind of ambient room temps do you have?

Hello,
I'm the owner of the screenshot and the original post.
1. Yes the problem go away after 15-30 minutes in 3D. If I come back to 2D mode and return in 3D again some hours later, the problem appear again (ghosting for about 15-30 minutes).
2. The room temp is about 20-22 celcius.

1. Yes the problem go away after 15-30 minutes in 3D. If I come back to 2D mode and return in 3D again some hours later, the problem appear again (ghosting for about 15-30 minutes).
This morning I made a new test. I started the Nvidia 3D demo WITHOUT opening my glasses, just to known if the problem come from her.
After 30 minutes I opened the glasses and I don't noticed ghosting (or barely perceptible), then it's not a problem with the 3D Vision 2 glasses.
Other people are able to doing the primary test with their VG278H to check if it's normal?
The test is very simple to do:
1. If your monitor is closed since many hours or is in 2D mode since many hours too, start the nVidia 3D demo (see previous screenshots);
2. Check if you see ghosting and continue to run the test for about 15-30 minutes.
3. After 15-30 minutes, check again and notice if the ghosting is lower or barely perceptible.
In looking at the ghosting images, I think you are just being nit picky. Did you try backing off the 3d depth settings?
I have a few games that produce a double image or ghosting if I have the settings too high.

In reality it's more perceptible than you see on the image (the photo was taken with an iPhone not with a reflex camera).
The depth is set to the default value (15%)

Below 70F is a little bit chilly but not too bad, very odd. Maybe if you want to try a more localized experiment, if you have a blow dryer, set it to its lowest warm setting (test against your hand first) and apply it to a small area of the monitor and see how the ghosting reacts. I suspect it is just warm-up time on the panel TFT but it really shouldn't be exhibiting such issues at nearly room temperatures.

I have my doubts that panel temp is a factor, the paste below shows that room temp is well inside the operating range.
TN Temperature Ranges
The operational and storage temperature range of a Twisted Nematic (TN) Liquid Crystal Display is dependant on the drive and voltage of a part. The following parameters are for general reference.
TN Standard Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -10°C to +60°C
Storage Temperature: -20°C to +60°C
TN Wide Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -30°C to +80°C
Storage Temperature: -40°C to +80°C
There are also specially designed TN LCD that operates at an especially higher temperature (-20 to 105) or lower temperature (-55 to 85).
STN/FSTN Temperature Ranges
The operational and storage temperature range of a super Twisted Nematic (STN) and Film compensated STN (FSTN) LCDs are set pretty much into two ranges for standard products.
STN/FSTN Standard Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: 0°C to +50°C
Storage Temperature: -10°C to +60°C
STN/FSTN Wide Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C
Storage Temperature: -30°C to +80°C

Ok I made the test with the blow dryer (my monitor was idle for 1 hour the time to lunch).
The dryer worked 5 minutes and I made circular movements around the monitor.
The temperature is not the issue, it's sure. After 5 minutes, I reopened the screen and I see the same ghosting as when the monitor is closed for a while.

TN Temperature Ranges
The operational and storage temperature range of a Twisted Nematic (TN) Liquid Crystal Display is dependant on the drive and voltage of a part. The following parameters are for general reference.
TN Standard Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -10°C to +60°C
Storage Temperature: -20°C to +60°C
TN Wide Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -30°C to +80°C
Storage Temperature: -40°C to +80°C
There are also specially designed TN LCD that operates at an especially higher temperature (-20 to 105) or lower temperature (-55 to 85).
STN/FSTN Temperature Ranges
The operational and storage temperature range of a super Twisted Nematic (STN) and Film compensated STN (FSTN) LCDs are set pretty much into two ranges for standard products.
STN/FSTN Standard Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: 0°C to +50°C
Storage Temperature: -10°C to +60°C
STN/FSTN Wide Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C
Storage Temperature: -30°C to +80°C
TN Temperature Ranges
The operational and storage temperature range of a Twisted Nematic (TN) Liquid Crystal Display is dependant on the drive and voltage of a part. The following parameters are for general reference.
TN Standard Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -10°C to +60°C
Storage Temperature: -20°C to +60°C
TN Wide Temperature Range
Operating Temperature: -30°C to +80°C
Storage Temperature: -40°C to +80°C

Below 70F is a little bit chilly but not too bad, very odd. Maybe if you want to try a more localized experiment, if you have a blow dryer, set it to its lowest warm setting (test against your hand first) and apply it to a small area of the monitor and see how the ghosting reacts. I suspect it is just warm-up time on the panel TFT but it really shouldn't be exhibiting such issues at nearly room temperatures.

Ok I made the test with the blow dryer (my monitor was idle for 1 hour the time to lunch).
The dryer worked 5 minutes and I made circular movements around the monitor.
The temperature is not the issue, it's sure. After 5 minutes, I reopened the screen and I see the same ghosting as when the monitor is closed for a while.
