The cables may help, but they will not cure the problem. Cheap
switch boxes are notorius for causing gosting and other artifacts
on the screen. Most switch boxes are rated for video bandwidth or
frequency. If you are running 1280 x 1024 at 85Hz, the pixel rate
or bandwidth is running around 157.5Mhz. At least that is the
Vesa standard. I recommend you find a switch box rated at least
1.5 times the video rate.

Cables should 75ohm coaxial. Cheap twisted pair cables will also
cause ghosting.

Good Luck
