SM226BW Serious ghosting in games

I am having some serious ghosting issues on my SM226BW. It is unacceptable with a 2ms screen! My ****ing old hitachi 16ms was better! I wonder if the problem is i havent used the driver disk, since I am getting a new rig and for time being i use my new screen with the old rig.

Can this kind of thing be RMAed?

Sounds like you lost in the lottery. Ive heard there is a C panel version that has some overdrive problems.

Look in your settings and you should see an RTA option, disable that and see if it solves it. If it doesnt RMA it for sure, its pretty unacceptable either way.

Yes it will be the RTA option, you need it turned off. My panel dosent ghost even a tiny bit.

Yes! That was it! I am so glad I didnt have to RMA this. I´ve waited my parts to arrive for so long! Thanks Plasmoid

What games are you ghosting in? And surely this monitor shouldn't be ghosting at all anyway?

Response Time Accelerator. It seems it is incorrectly configured on some of these models, perhaps related to using different panels. Some users have had some bad overdrive induced ghosting with it turned on, but seems to be easily fixed by disabling the option
