Heres an image showing this on my screen.

You can clearly make out the video side bar on the right and just about in the image make out the small video box.

Was pretty adamant I didn't have this, but just noticed it after leaving on a light coloured forum for a while.

Great Job LG, refund if you still can IMO.

Looks like they are using old Plasma Technology.

The trouble is, what else is there that ticks the boxes?

3440x1440, 75hz, IPS, Freesync.

Happy to hear there's another option but I could see one when buying!

People getting image retention are you running @ 75hz or 60hz ?

Orch · 23 Oct 2016 at 23:50

75hz for me

Then try setting it to 60hz do you still get the same image retention ? I have a feeling this might be related to the overclock.

Mines at 60hz at the moment I think as I get random black screens on desktop if I have it at 75 with freesync enabled while on the desktop. I'll check tonight.

So far this screen hasn't lived up to what I hoped, just like both acers but I noticed those issues within the dsr(or what ever it's called now) period.

I bought an xf2770hu which had this problem and it was REALLY bad. it would burn in what had been shown after only a few minutes.

Acer were more than useless at fixing it (said they had first time (they had not), then said they couldn't see the problem which was just a bare faced lie) so it went back.

I don't think this is in any way normal for a modern led screen. Yes things might ghost after being displayed for hours but it shouldn't happen after only a few minutes.

Yeh a few hours I could understand and wouldn't be normal operation (though my dell has no issues).

I am still hoping for Daniel to replay to this thread again, hopefully with any info around this. If it is fixable then I don't mind sending in back to be fixed but if its not then I don't want to be with out a screen again for an extended period of time for no reason again.
