No not in motion. Static characters. See this example

This was taken with a digital camera and enlarged/enhanced to make the
problem obvious.

You know, that almost looks like the effects of ClearType. The
ClearType rendered text, should be the stuff on the right hand
column of samples here.

But it is so hard to tell. Some of what I see in your picture, will be
an artifact from the camera taking a picture of an LCD. I don't like the
row of colored pixels under each row of text, because that should not be
ghosting. Ghosting caused by cable reflections, should be restricted to
things to the left or right of the dominant (black) text. I don't know
where the colored stuff comes from under each line of text.

If it was my setup, I'd start by trying another VGA cable. But what
I'm seeing in your picture, could be more than one effect at work.

As mentioned, check you are at Native Resolution. Open Help & Support
and enter 'cleartype'. Follow the instructions, if it is ON, turn off, if it
is OFF, turn on, find best setting.
