Is dell s2721dgfa supposed to have very heavy ghosting?

I have used this monitor for like half a year now.

The picture has always looked crisp and clear, but I started to notice heavy ghosting and now I can't unsee it.

The picture gets very pixelated /distorted when bright and dark colors meet on the image, and it's pretty heavy and could look like ghosting.

Tried reinstall drivers ddu reset monitor update monitor drivers etc but nothing helps.

If there's too much bright and dark colors that meets each other it gets smeared out and kinds look like a streaming video that gets pixelated.

It only occurs heavily on the colors.

In csgo it happens a lot on de dust map.

Dark colors stutter down the corridor and gets smeared out or getting static noise around areas like this.

Orig clip for comparison

Csgo is bar far one of the heavy victims of this. I don't get this at all in Diablo 3. However, I can get a minor feeling of screen tearing of some sort, though it feels minor.

With warframe it seems to be noticeable only on the spaceship and a tiny bit on a specific area.

It is also very minor noticeable in smite, but not as annoying.


I also notice it in doom, like how it's kinda hanging image of the structure in the middle

I don't seem to have this issue at all in new world.

I don't know if I have a faulty display, or it is some setting I need to change.

I'm running g sync on v sync in nvcp and tried any OD setting. Graphic drivers up to date etc. I don't really know what else I could change or if the display simply is faulty. Weird thing is it only happens in some games.
 
Of course I can, but it doesn't seem to have an effect when g sync is on.

When my g sync is on then nothing changes when I go from super, super fast and extreme.

However, when g sync is off then there's a difference between the overdrive options
 
Tried super fast with g sync on, still same problem.

Is the monitor just slow with inverse ghosting or what it is, or is there a problem? And if yes what could it be

Perhaps try with a different PC if you get the chance

I have, the same issue persist.

Unsure, am just installing CS GO to have a look myself, I cant really tell whats happening in the youtube vid.

I know, it is really hard to see on the recorded footage as its really hard to replicate.

It's like the response time is very slow and that the black colors refresh to slow which makes ghosting.

What's weird is if I cap to 60 fps the problem kinda gets eliminated, at the expense of running 60 fps. The higher I go the more ghosting I get.

And I got a 2070s and have steady 165 fps so shouldn't be the problem either.
 
EDIT:

I tried everything off, g sync and so on, and to be honest there is no difference between g sync on and off. Could that mean my G Sync module is defect or that its just not needed at that fps?

However, the inverse ghosting still persists. I see no big difference between fast and super fast, but I can see when using Extreme that it is the same areas that gets ghosting, just much much worse with extreme enabled.

So it is inverse ghosting, and it seems like you cant do anything about it since the slowest reponse time is fast. There is no normal or off.

Update 2:

The weird thing is it seems to be mostly there. Right on Dust 2. But the most weird thing is that if I record it with game recording software, it looks like that when I view it on the uplodated youtube link, but when I watch it on my tv, it doesnt have the problem. It seems like its the places where I tend to get screen tearing this happens.

On Dust 2 I get screen tearing only on that passage and on the upper part of the same bomb site. Everywhere else I get zero screen tearing or these issues.

That tends to lead it could be a performance problem, but yet again, watching the clip on my monitor still causes the problem, while its not noticeable on my TV.
