Ghosting with Asus vg248qe

[Rat123]

It has terrible ghosting, and if I install LightStrobe, ghosting is much less but the screen is much darker, it's not nice looking at it anymore.

what can I do?

When using LightBoost, you may be able to adjust the brightness on the monitor as well. It will never reach the high levels the monitor is capable of because the light is on for only a fraction of each frame(this off time hides the ghosting).

If this will not work, you can try to adjust the Trace Free setting in the monitor menu to adjust the overdrive.

Please note that very high settings may cause inverted ghosting(overshoot).

I am thinking of retunring the monitor, I paid so much and now I have to use a software that darkens the screen.
I also wonder if all the screens have that issue and need the this software.

If the trace free settings can not help, I guess that may be the only option.

Please note that almost all monitors will have some form of ghosting(on high speed ones it is sometimes inverted ghosting from excessive overdrive).

You did also make sure you are running 120 or 144hz. This makes the pixel transitions faster as well.

But the ghosting is extreme. I can open a word document and scroll very slowly and it already starts to blurr.
Another thing I noticed is that the screen is hard on my eyes.
Can u recommend me a flicker free with low ghosting monitor?

I have not tried enough monitors to make such a recommendation. I recommend checking local store displays if you can.

Failing that, check out a review site like http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ because they test many monitors and may give you a good idea of how different monitors perform.

Lots of the motion blur may be from sample and hold(image is held for about 16ms at a time for 60 hz screens vs the much shorter time for older CRT screens). This is the way modern monitors work. You will find some articles online about this as well.
