[mexashe]

Hello , so i had this Samsung's CRG5 240hz monitor for like a year now. i know its VA panel and it has this issues but , i never noticed anything until now. after year of use it suddenly started ghosting , i can see clearly on back background which has white text on , youtube for example. i noticed it in some games too..."

i dont know what to do , i never had problems with this monitor why it started acting like this all of sudden?

i know its VA panel and it has this issues but is there any setting i can reduce it?

What are your full hardware specifications including graphics card, motherboard and power supply, and what driver version is currently installed.

Any recent updates to Windows or drivers that might have changed settings at all?

Have you changed cables recently? What kind of cable are you connecting with? Have you made ANY hardware changes or upgrades to the system lately?

Well dang, let's just not answer any questions that the people trying to help you have asked since we already think we know what the problem is. Why even bother to post?

That is common issue for VA panels.
Probably you just didn't notice it before.

Try adjusting response time settings (with buttons on monitor)

none of them make any difference...

It could be that its aging, I've seen this in the past on usually earlier monitors, I got 17 inch 4:3 monitor I bought new in 2007, and I still use it to work on other computers, its got a ton of ghosting, it always had a little bit, its early cheap monitor, but its so bad I can move the mouse and see it like 4 times as if the trails was set on.

I know you said its about a year old, but sometimes thats all it takes. Maybe try a different interface, if you are using hdmi, try display port, make sure the refresh rate is set properly, that can help with ghosting but not so much the smudging, it might make the smudging more noticeable with a fast refresh rate.
