We are operating in a studio with a g4 933 quicksilver (os9) hooked up to two Samsung flatscreen monitors. We are experiencing what I believe is called ghosting. Some of the display from monitor appears faded out on the other. The cable run is about 25 feet and we are using VGA extensions with ferrite beads on the connectors. Just wondering if other people have experienced this problem and if there's a proper way to get around it. I've tried calling Apple but to no avail and ATI wants to charge 1.25 a minute for tech support, so hopefully someone here will be able to help me out. Thanks in advance, Matt

Matt, For keyboard extension get one of these. It can extend up to 75 feet no problem . It is priced around $30 ea. As for VGA extension I just bought a 50 ft VGA extender cable at Pacific Radio Electronics. Here is a link Call them at their Burbank location . I picked up a Pan-S-H15MM-50-XL50FT HI DENSITY Male VGA extender cable for $50. They have 25 ft for less money. It looks great and is less exspensive then buying any other extenders. Take care, --------------------

Poor shielding causes ghosting. Ill second Marti's cable recommendations!!! I purchased the same 50ft cable from Pacific Radio, and 3 of the IOGear USB extensions. One caveat on using 3 USB extensions, I had to use a powered hub, in order for the USB to work after boot up.
