ASUS VW223T and ghosting

[SixtyWattMan]

OK So I've been using this monitor for about a week. The colors are great, there no input lag whatsoever, and overall the image quality is fantastic. I switched from my trusty Samsung 997MB about a week ago to save some space and I must say I was impressed by this monitor at first. But alas the ghosting is really getting to me. It strains my eyes to no ends no matter how subtle it is. It's like every game has motion blur. I snagged this thing for $220 free shipping from the Egg which was a huge mistake because their return policy doesn't exist. My 997MB is probably going to be my main monitor once again with the ASUS as a secondary.

Over all, the ASUS is great for anything but gaming. The ghosting on this thing is absolutely ridiculous. I should have looked for an FW900 instead.

I think the ghosting is likely mostly in your head, possibly because you're so used to a CRT. I got this monitor a few days ago and haven't really noticed any ghosting, but then again I just switched from a Viewsonic VX924 (a TN panel and my only prior LCD) so my taste in LCDs may not be as scrutinizing as yours.

That being said, I had been using my old Philips 107T while waiting for my Asus to arrive so I did technically go directly from a CRT to an LCD and I still don't really have anything bad to say about this Asus for what it is, other than the OSD being a little annoying to navigate (and obviously the horrific speakers). Granted, the 107T is hardly an example of a fine CRT monitor, and I personally can't stand a CRT refresh rate of even 85 hz anymore--it kills my eyes.

Out of curiosity, what did you set your brightness, contrast, and color temperature to on your Asus?
I simply set mine to

Color Temp: Warm
Brightness: 50
Contrast: 75
