Some ghosting is inevitable. You say "especially when running Windows
and apps" so I suspect you're seeing ghosting. I was seeing solid white
lines on a black screen (bootup) and solid black lines on a white screen
regardless of what the screen was displaying.
You can minimize ghosting by going with a dual-scan LCD, or getting
an active matrix display.
