I decide to start a new topic here, first I think I post this is the wrong place where was in the Official BenQ FP241W Thread.

I love this monitor for it's size, quality brightness and looks, but now this ghosting pisses me off. I have the FP241W Z, i hardly notice any ghosting on most of my games.
Fear, Serious sam II, "some on STALKER" Call of Duty 2 BF2 and BF2142 all seem fine. NFS most wanted runs very nice and I v sync it so it runs at 60fps since this video cards runs the game like a old game with all settings max.
Far Cry really bothers my eyes I get 95-120 fps average which is great. But there is so much ghosting I turn perfect motion all the way like I do in other games. Is it because there is to many objects like the variety of vegetation in the game?

My setup as follows.
CPU: QX6700 OC 3.2ghz zalman
Ram: 2 gigs Corsair Dominator
Mobo: Evga 680i SLI
Vid card: 2X evga 8800GTX SLI

Anyone using this monitors and play far cry have this kind of ghosting?

With a set-up like that, I'm surprised that you don't see ghosting in every game. Far Cry is an older title and runs way too quickly on your SLI system.
 
You shouldn't really be able to perceive the difference between 60FPS and anything higher. 60FPS is already so smooth. :cool:
 
But here is the thing, how come in Fear I get 125-185 frame/sec and the ghosting is not really noticeable. My guess is that far cry has more vegetation or more objects to draw every time.
 
It's pointless to have more than 60 fps when they LCD is only displaying 60 frames per second and discarding the rest. I think the only thing that adds is tearing when it shows half of one frame and half of another instead of a full frame.
 
Your computer specs have nothing to do with ghosting, thats your monitors response time.

Vsync will cause framerate issues even below 60fps, but if it drops you to 60.. then I wouldn't complain.. don't think that 60 is not enough, anyone who tells you otherwise is simply trying to enlarge their e-penis.

In all honesty, you're eyes are probably more sensitive to it because of how different farcry is from most other games appearance wise.
 
ya thats true, Im gona use my 17 inch CRT for gamings then, My flat CRT has maximum 1600X900 with max refresh rate of 85hz which is better then my LCD at only 60 hz

Now NFS most wanted runs beautiful on my 24 inch LCD with 60hz and I enable vsync, I will decide or I will just have to get used to of 60 frames, is there is no need to have all the over 100 frames unless im doing benchmarking or showing off my computer hardware.

BTW im new to LCD's I only own this little over 2 months, my other gaming rig was P4 3.2ghz 2 gigs value ram and 8X AGP 6800GT, now this machine is a ftp, file and torrent server. This computer that I used my 17inch CRT.
 
The computer has much to do with ghosting. If he had a 7300 GS instead of SLI 8800GTX, i guarantee that no modern LCD will display any ghosting on newer games because the 7300 isn't capable of running newer games fast enough.

His computer is pushing well over 100FPS in games like FEAR, so I bet that Far Cry is running at over 200FPS, which is just way too fast for any LCD to keep up with.
 
I think you should read a little more into exactly what ghosting is.

I agree if you run a game and its a slide show you won't see ghosting. But the difference between 30-100fps.. isn't going to change anything. It's the monitor, not the hardware.

Ghosting is your eyes perception of the pixels not changing colors from dark to light and vice versa fast enough. If the frame rate is crap, of course you won't notice it because there wont be rapidly changing frames. His monitor has a maximum refresh rate of 60hz.. anything above 60 is lost, thus your theory is debunked.

It is the monitor / how he has the monitor set up. If the panel has overdrive, id try turning it off and back on to see if it makes any difference, as well as any dynamic contrast settings, as they can make things look worse as well.
