Thanks, fixed my monitor's ghosting but contrary to your advice I got rid of it by turning my monitor's overdrive setting from normal to off. Worth a try.
In my MSI Optix VA, "fastest" is also the best for the reaction time setting and the setting Night Mode can make a big difference, basically the stronger you set it the brighter the background becomes and it reduces the smearing by quite a bit.
bro your the man i have been having some ghosting issues with my aoc monitor not the same as vid but the same settings took away the ghosting its fantastic
lol for me there is overdrive (boost) it's past strong on the AOC monitor it literally makes ghosting nonexistant i can track the aliens easily with my eyes and all but... it makes the screen way darker son I'm using strong with some adjustments of brightness, gamma 2 and contrast and it looks feels way better than default
@Is what it is nah im using medium cause its best between ground and have MBR set to 1, gamma 1 and colors warm it gives best color as well as little ghosting without destroying brightness
@@JonelKingas guys to find the boost option of overdrive you need to go in your Aoc monitor settings from settings your monitor has and go to game setting then select Overdrive and go to overdrive modes there will be option after strong the boost
Noticed ghosting on my monitor, it felt like i was playing with motion blur , i turned overdrive on and its a completely different experience, it feels like I'm actually using my 144hz
This is great advice for cheap VA monitors like the GNV29CB. The shadows control setting was called "Blacklevel" and overdrive was called "Response time" on my monitor, but it was no issue. Important to mention that you can sort of offset the dull look from changing the shadows/blacklevel by changing things like the brightness setting in your GPU's control panel. Careful not to take it too far though, otherwise you'll just offset the changes you made.
Mine has those labels as well. I been trying to find an answer if response time low was better or response time high was better. Also for black level, is higher better as well? Screen brightens when I increase it so I'm thinking that.
@@ninjoboss3948 Higher black level = grayer blacks, which means less black smearing, but... grayer blacks. For response time, I'd probably just keep it at low or medium. High will more than likely introduce overshoot artifacts, and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
@@OutlawedPoet black becomes grey in first time, but if you calibrate your screen (contrast, brightness & gamma) you greatly reduce the problem. OK for my LG defaut 60 set to 65 (FPS 7O) no big deal but ghosting reduced dramatically.

@@diegodiniz AMA is the anti-ghost software for the monitor. If you are experiencing ghosting you can change the setting to high or premium to account for that. Otherwise, I’d suggest not fiddling with it as it will make you have coronas if you turn it on and ghosting isn’t present.

Great video ! Exactly what I needed. I ordered this monitor and it’s not coming until next month but I heard a lot of bad reviews because of ghosting and blurring
People should know, there’s two different response times. There’s gtg (grey to grey) and mprt. You want both to be as low as possible but gtg is the one that matters a lot. Most cheap monitors are referring to the mprt response time when they say 1ms (and usually why they don’t list both or specify) some monitors just say 1ms and they don’t say gtg or mprt. Some monitors will have 1ms mprt and like 15ms gtg (just arbitrary example). I know bh photo is usually very good about listing all/accurate specs on monitors/items. Just make sure you’re getting low response times in both areas (my monitor is 1ms mprt and 3ms gtg which is good but 1ms is better)
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
I was wondering if the small amount of ghosting I'm seeing on my new monitor was bad or not so I checked this video out and turns out you're using the 27 inch version of my Dell 32DGF as the baseline to aim for so I guess it's not bad lol. I was just surprised that my "extreme" setting looks better without any noticable reduction in other areas. extreme mode basically eliminates the ghosting but I'm not seeing a downside so far

I just want a 1080p 60hz monitor with minimal ghosting and good blacks (at least 2500:1) without purposely washing shit out... Are my standards too high lol.
Fun thing, atleast for me, (AoC C27G2ZE/BK) is that this AoC monitor has a bad time rendering Dark pixels and colors, meaning that the more bright your monitor is, the less smearing and lag there is, it will also make the game feel smoother since the monitor can render everything faster and better. atm I'm running: Contrast 55, Brightness 65, gamma 1, RGB User Mode - Red 43, Green 46 and Blue 51, Shadow Control sits at 50 and Overdrive at Strong. These settings are what works for me, I would like to go brighter and use shadow control at 60 and move overdrive to Medium (since Shadow COntrol 60 + Overdrive strong causes black artifacts which makes reading harder in gaming), though my eyes can't actually take all that brightness in causing eye strain and pain which makes it harder to play games as well.
This is only one tunings set that actually helps with ghosting so far! Thank you so much! But increasing shadow made a new issue for screen being kinda 'misty' with high brightness. I have AOC C27G2AE/BK and there are setting for colors i found to solve the misty issue.

Update: apparently you cant solve ghosting on this model completely, its just impossible due to VA, it will be always there.

Aha! Thank you. I just got a VG32VQ1B as my first monitor above 1080p and was loving it, but once I started playing Cyberpunk 2077 ultra everything I was getting REALLY horrible ghosting. Without knowing what it actually was, I'd set the Overdrive to 100! Turning it off solved the problem immediately. Thanks! I really wish they'd include a warning about these features that they can cause side effects.
Are you sure the ghosting wasn't from the game itself? CB 2077 uses a pretty aggressive TAA implementation, which is an AA method that introduces its own ghosting.
@@OutlawedPoet It definitely contributed to it, but once I disabled the Overdrive, the ghosting issue went from severe and distracting to barely noticeable, and only at times.
Someone needs to make a driver level software display overdrive for VA displays. The software will boost dark level transitions at high refresh rates. This will be done by giving a slightly higher RGB value to the display for dark level transitions when at high fps.
@Precise. Yes, dropping the refresh rate does improve dark level response times on a VA display. I would personally drop it to 144hz since most games don't go much over 144fps anyway (depending on your hardware) and the jump from 144hz to 240hz isn't that big. I would not brighten the shadows since that would visually have more impact (makes image look flat) than dropping the refresh rate to 144hz.
Recently I came across a video and I want to say about my monitor. I have an AOC AGON AG271QG which has a built-in G -Sync physical processor. I played around with the settings and saw that all these highlights do not affect it, that is, everything is set up almost perfectly from the factory, the blur effect is minimal.
holy sht, I dont know whats worse: backlight bleed on IPS or horrific black things because of VA ghosting 🤢 Why do monitor companies release products with these problems at all?! I just wanted a 1440p 144Hz monitor but I cant find any because they either have bleed and black looks grey or black smearing...
They release products with these problems because they're inherent to the panel technology used and can't really be solved. And there's no better technology that's affordable enough for mass production. OLED monitors make an improvement and are slowly coming down in price, but they're still way too expensive for anything but high end models. Also, IPS glow is much less of an issue if you watch the monitor with adequate ambient and/or bias lighting instead of in complete darkness (which is bad for your eyes anyway and should be avoided whenever possible). Ambient light naturally "darkens" the "greyish" blacks and in fact takes away a lot of the VA panel's contrast advantage, because in regularly lit room, you don''t really see higher contrast than around 1000-1500:1 anyway. And let's not forget the fact that IPS glow usually looks noticeably worse on camera than it looks in person, because the camera tends to accentuate it (due to longer exposure).
I'm bummed with this ghosting shit because I came from an old LG 34" Ultrawide IPS monitor to a really expensive 240hz 4k Samsung Neo G8 and with the old LG I didn't have ghosting and with this new expensive monitor I do. SMH!
Simple method: You need to ensure the refresh rate is similar to what your game supports. I use Titan Army VA Panel 24inch 144hz monitor. For example, I play on PS5 and use my monitor that have 144hz refresh rate. It will ghosting no matter what because I can't control the settings of the game to accept 144hz (default it's 60hz). On PC, it's easy. Go to Windows Display Settings and set it to 144hz. On the Graphics Card settings also set it to 144hz. Zero Ghosting effect.
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
I use overdrive extreme and set contrast to 10. Shadows are at 0 and brightness is maxed. Brighter pixels have less ghosting and for playing on a Xbox series X it helps. Makes the game look like shit,but I don’t play games for good graphics. 😂 just to broke to afford a good pc for cod and Fortnite
I'd say if you're in a situation like this guy where you find a great deal on a monitor but it happens to be a VA, you can increase the shadows to get rid of the black smearing if it's noticeable with grayer blacks as a result.
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
Hey i may have a slight better aoc monitor the urs but still 1080p 144hz. But when i was playing with the monitor setting and turned off adaptive sync i got a secret setting in the overdrive section called boost. This will almost eliminate all the ghosting effect. But the brightness get reduced as well the adaptive sync will be off.

@@jozsefbohacs1196 yes if we bought cheap monitors then this is the result. I have AOC AGON VA same features but does not has these problems and of course it is much more expensive
For those who does not know how to have better performance (remove motion blueness) this is the way : It is indeed a VA panel, VA panels does have aprox. 5ms not 1. This monitor has the ability to change in 1 (not even close to 1 2-3) that means it will have motion blur and maybe a ghosting (it depends even more in the response time [chose faster RT]) . Thank me later. So play with more MS and do not even thing to judge a VA monitor! Perfect price for a perfect monitor. Thank you again LG, and thank me later!

I get quite a bit of ghosting on Call of duty Warzone, but I'm thinking it might be due to me using DLSS, although I'm not entirely sure. i will sometimes see trails from the birds that fly around in the sky, or people who are off in the distance, leaving a trail behind them. However, the trail is really annoying and I'm not quite sure how to get rid of it without needing to disable DLSS, since I'm playing on 1440p and want the best fps possible. I do have a 30 series card, so I dont think my gpu would be the issue here, in regard to it being compatible with DLSS technology, I'm just asking if you have any answers as to what settings I can try to tamper with to get rid of it.
Warzone uses temporal anti aliasing with DLSS as an option, both of which cause severe ghosting depending on the implementation. Trying turning DLSS and AA off to see if the trailing is still there.
@@OutlawedPoet When I disable DLSS, the ghosting goes away entirely. Whether or not I have AA enabled with DLSS off, there is still no ghosting. I'm looking/asking for a solution to be able to use DLSS without ghosting, because I'd rather have the 40+ extra FPS with DLSS on and a bit of ghosting, than not as many FPS, with no ghosting at all. Currently, I'm still dealing with the ghosting and DLSS is on, but if there's a way that I can get rid of ghosting altogether with DLSS enabled, that would be amazing. (Ive tried replacing the DLSS driver with the 2.2 and 2.3 version in the Modern Warfare folder)
@@Solid_Snake99 depends on what GPU youre trying to use it on. A lot of people, including myself and many other people who have a lot of credibility (such as JayzTwoCents, Hardware Unboxed), all agree that DLSS is actually really good, but only for 30 series cards. I've used it myself and I actually love it. I gain a lot of FPS from using it on 1440p and my game still looks amazing.
I tried these tweaks but it doesnt seem to help. The gane thats causing me the most issues is team fortress 2. Is there any other way of fixing it? Or should i just bite the bullet return and upgrade to the 24g2.

Hi, this seems quite good for casual gamers that dont want to sacrifice a lot picture quality from TN panel i've had my own situation now, im planning to buy this cheap monitor since im on limited budget and wanna try some 144hz experience, but im quite worry about the ghosting from VA panel here. It is still worth it if i move from crap 20inch 60hz TN panel LG 20MK600 to this AOC g2490vx? I do plays fps games a lot but just for fun with my friend, and not competitive scene Hope you can give some thought bro, thanks
Nobody buying a new product at the prices they charge should be dealing with this. It's a shame, and an abuse from the manufacturers putting out products where you can basically see 2 frames in 1. Same about light bleeding which according to them it's "acceptable" and "normal". Same about flickering. Same about discolouring along the panel. Same about viewing angles. All of that in the same VA monitor.

Aha! Thank you. I just got a VG32VQ1B as my first monitor above 1080p and was loving it, but once I started playing Cyberpunk 2077 ultra everything I was getting REALLY horrible ghosting. Without knowing what it actually was, I'd set the Overdrive to 100! Turning it off solved the problem immediately. Thanks! I really wish they'd include a warning about these features that they can cause side effects.
Are you sure the ghosting wasn't from the game itself? CB 2077 uses a pretty aggressive TAA implementation, which is an AA method that introduces its own ghosting.
@@OutlawedPoet It definitely contributed to it, but once I disabled the Overdrive, the ghosting issue went from severe and distracting to barely noticeable, and only at times.
Thanks so much! Turning off overdrive on my asus vg27aql1a fixed the problem for me!
Thanks for this, played around with my settings and got what I wanted
Someone needs to make a driver level software display overdrive for VA displays. The software will boost dark level transitions at high refresh rates. This will be done by giving a slightly higher RGB value to the display for dark level transitions when at high fps.
@Precise. Yes, dropping the refresh rate does improve dark level response times on a VA display. I would personally drop it to 144hz since most games don't go much over 144fps anyway (depending on your hardware) and the jump from 144hz to 240hz isn't that big. I would not brighten the shadows since that would visually have more impact (makes image look flat) than dropping the refresh rate to 144hz.
For my Dell 144hz monitor, I had to set response time from "super fast" to "normal" to get rid of ghosting
Recently I came across a video and I want to say about my monitor. I have an AOC AGON AG271QG which has a built-in G -Sync physical processor. I played around with the settings and saw that all these highlights do not affect it, that is, everything is set up almost perfectly from the factory, the blur effect is minimal.
Thanks for the input, i have a different brand of monitor but it someohow lessen the ghosting by doing these some settings.
thanks this fix my aoc 24g2spe never thought that adjusting gamma and shadow control helps with smearing problems
You're a lifee saver man, thank you very much
holy sht, I dont know whats worse: backlight bleed on IPS or horrific black things because of VA ghosting 🤢 Why do monitor companies release products with these problems at all?! I just wanted a 1440p 144Hz monitor but I cant find any because they either have bleed and black looks grey or black smearing...
At least you can fix black smearing on a VA panel if you don't mind grayer blacks. I don't think there's a fix for IPS glow or bleed.
They release products with these problems because they're inherent to the panel technology used and can't really be solved. And there's no better technology that's affordable enough for mass production. OLED monitors make an improvement and are slowly coming down in price, but they're still way too expensive for anything but high end models.
Also, IPS glow is much less of an issue if you watch the monitor with adequate ambient and/or bias lighting instead of in complete darkness (which is bad for your eyes anyway and should be avoided whenever possible). Ambient light naturally "darkens" the "greyish" blacks and in fact takes away a lot of the VA panel's contrast advantage, because in regularly lit room, you don''t really see higher contrast than around 1000-1500:1 anyway.
And let's not forget the fact that IPS glow usually looks noticeably worse on camera than it looks in person, because the camera tends to accentuate it (due to longer exposure).
I'm bummed with this ghosting shit because I came from an old LG 34" Ultrawide IPS monitor to a really expensive 240hz 4k Samsung Neo G8 and with the old LG I didn't have ghosting and with this new expensive monitor I do. SMH!
thank you very much, i ignore review and bought this monitor because it was -+$30 off from -+150 in my country
and today you made my day XD
and yes you hear me right, everything is more expensive in my country because the tax XD, tesla model 3 was triple the original price :)))))
@@hartantosetiawan4835 How Long is it going to take to deliver ?
@@NickBucks just couple day :) already arrived in my city and free shipping tho
@@hartantosetiawan4835 did you pay 115 or the one that costs more to deliver faster?
Simple method:
You need to ensure the refresh rate is similar to what your game supports. I use Titan Army VA Panel 24inch 144hz monitor.
For example, I play on PS5 and use my monitor that have 144hz refresh rate. It will ghosting no matter what because I can't control the settings of the game to accept 144hz (default it's 60hz).
On PC, it's easy. Go to Windows Display Settings and set it to 144hz. On the Graphics Card settings also set it to 144hz. Zero Ghosting effect.
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
Thank you for explaining it so well
I have that dell and I see it happening on valorant when aiming as well. Mine is the 27 inch.
thanks man, this helped me a lot
I use overdrive extreme and set contrast to 10. Shadows are at 0 and brightness is maxed. Brighter pixels have less ghosting and for playing on a Xbox series X it helps. Makes the game look like shit,but I don’t play games for good graphics. 😂 just to broke to afford a good pc for cod and Fortnite
What is the best settings for Alienware 360hz for competitive games please 🙏
thank you so much it works greetings
Buy VA panel to get deep blacks and then turn on shadow control to get grey blacks :( better just buy IPS and get normal blacks without ghosting
I'd say if you're in a situation like this guy where you find a great deal on a monitor but it happens to be a VA, you can increase the shadows to get rid of the black smearing if it's noticeable with grayer blacks as a result.
Omg I use this monitor and this very helpful! Thx!!!
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
I was trying to play hogwarts legacy but all of the ghosting really irritated me, thanks for this vid, I fixed it :)
Hey i may have a slight better aoc monitor the urs but still 1080p 144hz.
But when i was playing with the monitor setting and turned off adaptive sync i got a secret setting in the overdrive section called boost. This will almost eliminate all the ghosting effect. But the brightness get reduced as well the adaptive sync will be off.
How you do it sir? Can you please say it in here. Thanks man.
@@olivarengbino3744 in you monitor OSD settings turn off the adaptive sync, then go to overdrive setting and put it to boost. Enjoy
@@BlackBoxster thanks man. Will try later. Hope it works.
it is called motion blur reduction mbr technique
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
tenkiu for de information broder :))
ies, tenkiu for mi tuu
I have very bad ghosting. I can see those "white" otlines very strongly in minecraft and cs go for an example
Man, I have the same monitor but nothing changes after switching to strong or medium, I see at you ghosting disappears in strong overdrive but to me it don't changes anything at all
My samsung g7 240Hz have litte bit ghosting when I max out overdrive but I lower it and screen is not fast like before but feels smother overall, one thing I learned in this vid is blacks effect it too and I did not know that
I paid 200$ for mine 165Hz 1Ms Adaptive Sync and etc but that smearing hurts my eyes
🤔I have an Acer Nitro 27' VG270 and what should i do to reduve input lag and response time(ghost,blur) ???
Thanks I have acer ed273u pbmiipx with very bad ghosting and smearing in text scroll or moving, I turned off HDR and lightblue on then I raised gamma to 2.6 reduced ghosting or smearing
Thansk for idea, I have an acer monitor with the same problem, too.
@@jozsefbohacs1196 yes if we bought cheap monitors then this is the result. I have AOC AGON VA same features but does not has these problems and of course it is much more expensive
For those who does not know how to have better performance (remove motion blueness) this is the way : It is indeed a VA panel, VA panels does have aprox. 5ms not 1. This monitor has the ability to change in 1 (not even close to 1 2-3) that means it will have motion blur and maybe a ghosting (it depends even more in the response time [chose faster RT]) . Thank me later. So play with more MS and do not even thing to judge a VA monitor! Perfect price for a perfect monitor. Thank you again LG, and thank me later!
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
I have a similar sort of effect when moving my mouse in game, using a controller everything is silky smooth but going back to mouse it almost looks like the edges/corners of graphics rocks walls tree etc are wobbling

With UFO test, i saw my AOC works the best with medium overdrive, if i go higher it's worse for darker background.
hey man, solid video! just wanted to know tho, have u found a fix yet for the weird artifacts around black or dark areas at 6:37? after some time it can actually be really straining for the eyes
6:21 if everything is paper white bright you can't see ghosting, big brain
i reccomend returning your monitor under warranty if it looks like this. got an old c27jg samsung that has 0 ghosting on all three ufos. got a new wqhd yesterday. man that SUCKED!! some aoc "gaming" monitor. so much ghosting it cant be used for motion pictures even. let less gaming at 144 fps... looks like luck of the draw on these low price monitors. wierd that they make this crap level of screens at all.
I get quite a bit of ghosting on Call of duty Warzone, but I'm thinking it might be due to me using DLSS, although I'm not entirely sure. i will sometimes see trails from the birds that fly around in the sky, or people who are off in the distance, leaving a trail behind them. However, the trail is really annoying and I'm not quite sure how to get rid of it without needing to disable DLSS, since I'm playing on 1440p and want the best fps possible. I do have a 30 series card, so I dont think my gpu would be the issue here, in regard to it being compatible with DLSS technology, I'm just asking if you have any answers as to what settings I can try to tamper with to get rid of it.
Warzone uses temporal anti aliasing with DLSS as an option, both of which cause severe ghosting depending on the implementation. Trying turning DLSS and AA off to see if the trailing is still there.
@@OutlawedPoet When I disable DLSS, the ghosting goes away entirely. Whether or not I have AA enabled with DLSS off, there is still no ghosting. I'm looking/asking for a solution to be able to use DLSS without ghosting, because I'd rather have the 40+ extra FPS with DLSS on and a bit of ghosting, than not as many FPS, with no ghosting at all. Currently, I'm still dealing with the ghosting and DLSS is on, but if there's a way that I can get rid of ghosting altogether with DLSS enabled, that would be amazing.
(Ive tried replacing the DLSS driver with the 2.2 and 2.3 version in the Modern Warfare folder)
@@thelants8569 Nah, there's no way to get rid of the ghosting. That's just how DLSS works. I'd pick DLSS, since Warzone is more of a competitive game.
@@OutlawedPoet you right bro. I appreciate the input. hopefully they fix the ghosting at some point though lmao
@@Solid_Snake99 depends on what GPU youre trying to use it on. A lot of people, including myself and many other people who have a lot of credibility (such as JayzTwoCents, Hardware Unboxed), all agree that DLSS is actually really good, but only for 30 series cards. I've used it myself and I actually love it. I gain a lot of FPS from using it on 1440p and my game still looks amazing.
Can’t overdrive ruin panels?
All i gotta say is dont buy a Acer Nitro XFA243Y Sbiipr 23.8” 165Hz
Nothing fixes the ghosting . It's awful.
WOW! thx
I just boost my brightness from 50 to 60 in Nvidia panel and BANG !
THe black ghosting was gone on my Benq ( then just drop lighting -2 )
Settings for aoc G2490vx pls, ty
I tried these tweaks but it doesnt seem to help. The gane thats causing me the most issues is team fortress 2. Is there any other way of fixing it? Or should i just bite the bullet return and upgrade to the 24g2.
ty man
I bought an asus 280hz and theres really weird interlacing like vertical lines, I dont know If I messed up a setting or something, but it didn't have these problems originally, I tried resetting the settings and updating graphics drivers, trying different cord all types of stuff nothing fixed it
Does it matter to shot in 60, 120 or 240hz for testing in my phone? Because in 60 apparently I don't see any ghosting, just in slow mo modes..
6:42 how do I fix the black?
I have a laptop and dunno how to get rid of ghosting. Please help :/
Settings for AOC M2470SHW PLEASE
Thanks🙏
Hi, this seems quite good for casual gamers that dont want to sacrifice a lot picture quality from TN panel
i've had my own situation now, im planning to buy this cheap monitor since im on limited budget and wanna try some 144hz experience, but im quite worry about the ghosting from VA panel here.
It is still worth it if i move from crap 20inch 60hz TN panel LG 20MK600 to this AOC g2490vx?
I do plays fps games a lot but just for fun with my friend, and not competitive scene
Hope you can give some thought bro, thanks
thanks man
Nobody buying a new product at the prices they charge should be dealing with this.
It's a shame, and an abuse from the manufacturers putting out products where you can basically see 2 frames in 1.
Same about light bleeding which according to them it's "acceptable" and "normal".
Same about flickering.
Same about discolouring along the panel.
Same about viewing angles.
All of that in the same VA monitor.
Thank you very much for the tip, I sent it back my LG 32GN650-B cause too much ghosting in internet (scrolling), games & videos! Blacklevel ! On 70, I don't no why but it has become imperceptible, as the LG OSD doesn't allow the gamma easily, I did it by Windows
I don't know if it works for monitors of another brand ?
Thankyou brother
How do you fix this if it’s happening on a laptop?
So lowering contrast. I guess that’s what grey 2 grey means.
i have no overdrive setting, but i do have a response time setting with "off, high, med, low"
Try high
that is overdrive, most companies tend to just rename it to random things for marketing purposes
When i set overdrive to boost, it turns off automatically when i shut down computer and i have to set it every time i turn pc on. What should be a trouble?
I have a Legion 5 exhibiting a trait I perceived as ghosting in the beginning but turned out it was not! Seemed like during fast panning the image didn't change smoothly instead it seemed like the previous image remained there for milliseconds! Thoughts?
You didn't show us how to fix it
1:00 "so you can actually see the smearing"
Me: Seeing nothing other than a monitor which is not in focus
Me: He must be talking about the smears on his glasses cuz thats the only thing in focus... xD
At the end the image looks horrible with those black circles effect.
LOVE YOU
I need a screen REPLACEMENT FOR G2490VX
