You're describing light leakage. On an LCD, the backlight is always on. The the liquid crystal acts like a series of little shutters, allowing more, or less light through, depending on the brightness level on an image. On many LCD displays, there is some amount of leakage around the edges of the screen. Google the make and model of your monitor to see if other people have had similar amounts of leakage compared to yours.
same :pGlad to know that i am not alone in this.But why you people hide it from your sigs,there is nothing wrong with that.
I had it on my sig, until I added my sound card. I simply ran out of room on the JPG. When I made the print smaller, it was hard to read, so I just included the important stuff. I didn't include my webcam, microphone, printer/scanner/FAX machine, gamepad, keyboard, or mouse for the same reason. LOL! :P
i know that CRT screens are really still popular, but damn....i didn't know that they are still being used this much!!EternalMax
Cuz they are still better for gaming despite what you may think.From a pure gaming point of view not taking into account any other pros or cons you cant possibly argue with that.
For me the native resolution problem is the biggest with LCD's.And i also dont like their viewing angles.

Like Thinker said, LCD monitors can't really match the CRT screens for color reproduction/accuracy, black levels and crisp/fluid video, especially when the LCD is running outside of it's native resolution. Everytime I use photoshop on an LCD monitor and think I've got an image looking good, I have to double check it on my CRT, 'cause nine times out of ten, the CRT shows image flaws the LCD doesn't. Plus CRT monitors are less expensive. The downsides are power consumption and their rather obnoxious size...oh, and the electron stream blasting your retinas away... :P
