External monitor ghosting: Samsung TA350 & MacBook Pro 2011

I'm happy with the picture quality, but moving anything around on screen creates a horrible ghosting effect. This is particularly noticeable when watching videos or scrolling text.

Can somebody suggest a solution?

My set-up:

Mac OS Lion

MacBook Pro 13 inch, mid-2011

Samsung SyncMaster TA350, 24-inch external monitor

My connection:

Amazon Basics HDMI/DVI cable

Apple DVI to Mini Displayport adapter

Thanks a lot!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

I bought a SendStation HDMI to Mini Displayport cable a couple of hours ago. It didn't improve anything.

It seems like a software/configuration problem.

Try this: On the Samsung monitor bring up the Source List and highlight HDMI1/DVI. Click the Tools button on the remote and select Edit Name and set the name to DVI PC.
