hi,

is someone notice strange thing like this during codind experience ?

in the two following sample, you will find the SAME code.
the ONLY difference is the background color.

like you will see, with black background, the lcd seem to not have time
to correctly bring pixel to the right color.

in white background it seem to be near ok.

is anyone found a trick to avoid this ?

that's caused by the lousy refresh times of the display.

chose colors wisely and avoid black is about the best thing you can do.

This is a common problem with LCDs, shifting between dark colors is much slower than between bright colors. Some Dell TFTs (but not all) show this really painfully when scrolling gamedev.net :P

Bah, dell tfts on gamedev? My thinkpad does it on slashdot... I guess the solution is to use colours that have a similar brightness.
