KTC M27T6. My second attempt at MiniLED monitors.

I mean this monitor is IPS, right? Just with local dimming? I sure have a lot of glow, and not great viewing angles. Probably getting this completely wrong.

Does more local dimming or freesync mess with things like ghosting more? This monitor's ghosting is egregious IMO. Overdrive doesn't seem to do much, or does way too much in terms of introducing artifacts, from my amateur testing. What would be the balance there?

It's a VA monitor, not IPS. The viewing angles on a VA monitor are poor. It's best to position the monitor as centrally as possible both vertically and horizontally. I think the severity of Ghosting depends on the Panel Lottery. I had very little on mine. Freeysnc can make it worse, especially if your GPU is struggling.

The overdrive setting is best left at standard, that's based on the various reviews I watched/read. Maybe trying a lower refresh rate say 144Hz. And see what the ghosting is like using the Standard overdrive.

I noticed the ghosting most playing my Switch (a rhythm game where a circle icon was smearing very badly) so I'm not sure I can do stuff like changing refresh rate, maybe the monitor stays to the last hz set via PC? Is it a Fast VA panel at least? If not I would suggest people go for the budget AOC youtube gamers have been promoting the last year or so instead. This monitor is ok for media creation/programming but gaming wise I'd question if there aren't better options in this price range, especially glossy ones that don't have this noisy matte film over it.
