 CRT Ghosting - is anyone getting satisfactory results?

I have access to several CRT desktop monitors and a Sony VPH-G90 CRT projector.

After some initial issues with getting 3D Vision and Windows7 to get things running in the right resolutions and refresh rates, I find that all the displays have ghosting/separation issues at either the top or the bottom of the screen.

Changing refresh rates and resolutions does not seem to change the characteristics of the problem on any display. For example on the G90 the bottom 1/3rd of the screen is where it ghosts and that stays consistent regardless of the resolution and refresh rates I've tried - and is consistent across whatever application is running.

It seems like being able to adjust the sync time to the glasses a few ms up or down would probably mitigate the problem.

Is anyone using a CRT getting satisfactory results with little/no ghosting?
If so, which monitor and settings are you using?

I have not used the 3D Vision glasses but, from my time in the Nvidia forums, this seems to be a common problem. Even on the official 3D Ready LCD screens (Samsung, etc.) people seem to report heavy ghosting on the top 25% of the screen. This could probably be fixed if you could tweak the timing of the glasses, but unfortunately Nvidia has disabled this feature from their new drivers. So what you see if what you get. I am not sure exactly what the problem is, but Nvidia does not seem interested in fixing it.

I have just built a new pc to prepare for 3d blu ray. I have a G90 CRT projector and used edimensional shutter glasses years ago with good results. I thought it was time to update, and purchased 3DVision as it was reputedly compatible with forthcoming 3D bluray. I have similar issues with bottom third of screen not syncing. The weird thing is that the nvidia test routine works perfectly (nvidia letters and logo moving in and out of screen). I also have the old edimensional shutters on the system and they sync perfectly, so the issue is definately related to the sync between the GPU and the new nvidia glasses. If I press the button on the Nvidia glasses the bottom third of the screen is briefly in sync and then drops out again. The G90 is ceiling mounted so I suspect a conventional CRT monitor would have the issue at the top of the screen.

I spent some time chatting with nvidia support today but they just say G90 not compatible. What we need is a utility to fine tune the sync. Alternatively a utility to delay the GPU might do the trick.

It's more LCD monitor issue.
Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAQh6bREFqM shows exactly what the issue is.
On LCD's picture is drawn almost like CRT does - not all at same time, and there's only scary short period of time picture is 'static'.
