I believe the problem is called "ghost affect", it usually caused by bad
cable/switch box, or if you are using long vga cable, make sure to use
"high
resolution" cable and the conncetors are good. The other issue is the
location, is there any reason that  the location is unsuitable for
monitor
(I've seen this problem in some offices), can you move the monitor
around see
if any better?

Do you have same problem with ATI card?
