I picked up a Samsung Odyssey AG320 on offer at half price so I jumped at the chance. I like almost everything about this screen except for a few things that are gnawing at me
firstly I can't tell when the screen is running higher than 60fps, there is a smoothness feeling going from 30 to 60 but it never feels any smoother than that all the way upto 165hz, I just don't feel it and I am wondering if it may be related to my second issue ...
second issue is under the (in)correct environments the ghosting is horrific, I since googled this and found people saying its the worst ghosting they have ever seen! example a high contrast scene with whites / creams and a dark object will leave the object smearing across the screen with any kind of motion, I did google for settings recommendations which did lessen it but it's still there and every time I notice it happen in some random scenario it leaves me feeling frustrated as I am usually the first person to jup into settings and turn off motion blur when games present the option.
1/I can't seem to adjust the black balance setting and I am not sure why, I have seen suggests that this will make the blacks look grey and elevate some motion blur but in the menu its the only setting the monitor wont let me mess with ? it exists just not selectable !?
2/I asked a few people advice on this ,
2 x of them say it's just how the kind of panel is, that it's a good screen with amazing blacks, that I am too fussy and should keep it because I wont find anything better in the price range.
others said they wish they could play with the settings for me to fix it but if I am not happy I should send it back
I have 30 days to fix this setting or make my mind up so just looking for more advice on maybe how to get into the "black level" setting ? or if I should just rma or stick with it reguardless of the ghosting issues?
Thanks
