Ghosting issue on new Acer XB271HU Normal?

[Abby_2]

Hey

I used a 1080p 60hz monitor for what seems to be forever and then I decided to upgraded to the very highly rated XB271HU. Only thing is tho, everything seems ghosty, taking videos of games and such and I can in fact see ghosting and like a trail of a object that i turned the camera away from.

Now I could say I have a defect monitor but for various other issues I have had to replace the monitor twice for brand new units, all of which consist of the same ghosting, the other 2 had very high yellow tints and had to calibrate.

Is this a 1 in a million chance of being very unlucky or is this the effect of a higher response time with IPS and 1440p. Should I get a refund a buy a tn monitor if so as I am a competitive gamer and it is quite annoying or is it something I should have to get used to. I have 7 days to inquire a refund so time is shortening 😛

Thanks guys

I have the asus pg279q which is the same LG panel as your acer but with an asus shell. When I first got it I did notice a significant amount of ghosting until I enabled a feature called OD (overdrive), look for it in the monitors menu, I use the normal setting extreme is too much.

Hello

Yes I have had a look at the OD and I have tried it on all settings, with a lot of blur on all, is this a effect from 144hz and im not used to it and its making me dizzy from the blur or is it my pc or dodgy monitors

No 144hz should have less blur and look much smoother than 60hz, I was thoroughly impressed when I first got the monitor. I have no noticeable blur with OD at normal. I have never heard of an issue with a monitor that would cause excessive blur, or any issue with hardware.
