Is dell s2721dgfa supposed to have very heavy ghosting?

I had similar issue but turning off extreme overdrive sorted it.

I have it on both fast, super fast and extreme, where extreme is of course a lot worse.

It seems like an overdrive issue, because it is the same areas on the picture that is affected, just with extreme having heavy ghosting, where fast has less but still very noticeable. But it is still only certain places.

Where I have the ghosting thing is the same places I get screen tearing with everything turned off.

Is HDR turned on in Windows?

Turned off both on OSD and in Windows 10.

Yes seems ok to me, no flickering and not ghosting as far as I can tell. 3080 FE connected via DP

So it is probably a faulty monitor. It just seems very weird tbh.

Is it an IPS thing I am prone to see? My Huawei p20 has an IPS screen and I believe I can also see it there, while the TVs I have are LEDs which doesnt do it.

I am just certain that it hasnt always done this.

It doesnt really make any sense, because it is only some places it happens, and it is places that are prone to gets screen tearing without a cap. What on earth can cause this.

Its not a faulty GFX card or cable, because it happens on my other PC as well.

The next best thing to do would be to try with another IPS 165 Hz GSync monitor.

Where are you based?

I am from Denmark, and dont know anyone with a similar monitor. Dell wants to send me a new one, but I want to test everything first.

I dont know if its something thats tricking my mind, but I think setting output color from 8 bpc to 10bpc seems to have fixed it a bit? Theres still some, but it is much less noticeable now.

But maybe thats something that tricks my mind, because I have read somewhere that this monitor is a 8bpc monitor and not 10.

If Dell have offered to replace it, I'd take them up on the offer :-)
 
Update: Just got my new monitor yesterday, and tried it today. Seems like the old one's display has some sort of defect, because the new one doesn't do it. There's still a little "noise", but nowhere near that bad.
 
I want to hear your opinion about the yellow tint at the sides of my monitor.
