LCD Ghost Images

I have a 20" Cinema Display. Lately I've noticed that after I close a bright Safari window, I can still see the outline of the window and even some faint text superimposed on the default Leopard desktop background, sort of like a light burn-in. The ghost image takes over 30 seconds to fade away.

Backlight is still nice and bright, everything else about the display is perfect except for these ghost images.
