Inverse Ghosting or Overshoot really a problem on this monitor? Some reviewers think so. What do you think?

Pretty much any IPS monitor is likely going to have something like that. But you know, I haven't noticed much of it. I guess it depends on how picky you are. I'm a PC gamer, and while I can't say there is absolutely no ghosting, I've not noticed any that's bothered me while I've played games. I'm pretty picky about my displays so if it were an issue I would notice it. Now, if you're looking at doing high end FPS competition you might want to look elsewhere, same would be true about strong video editing. Outside of that, I don't think it will be a problem.

Um what? All I know is this: I have a Nvidia GTX 770 which has those two weird ports. I have a VERY VERY VERY OLD monitor. I plugged it in and it works beautifully, no complaints. As for over heating...um....what? No offense but I don't think you know what your doing or even talking about if your asking about monitors overheating. I've NEVER heard of that happening.

Not sure what you mean by flickering... pixelating? this may be a question for Samsung...

Depends on the type of gaming. The 5-6ms response time isnt great for FPS or games with a lot of things moving on the screen very quickly, you will notice ghosting. I run 2 of them in a triple screen setup though, with the 2 GW2450's on the outside. I bought a much faster 2ms BenQ for the center monitor and I dont notice any ghosting anywhere. Partly because I dont focus on the side screens because they serve as peripheral viewing but Id say in general, yes. For best results? No.

I believe that one of the reasons this monitor is lower in price is that it badly needs calibration upon arrival. I spent about an hour and a half calibrating it to match what you are asking. So, the answer is yes, but not without some effort in calibration. Some of the calibration I was able to do with the monitor itself, but the rest I had to do with my video card to compensate. After being calibrated, however, it has performed perfectly.

I'm running 4 @ 1920x1080 and all are 24 inches and up with very few issues. Make sure your power supply is at the upper end of the spectrum, I have to unplug my monitors when I reboot which is a little irritating, but it seems related to the power supply and nothing else. Also pay close attention to the listed issues with DVI / HTMI / Display Port.

Looks fine to me. Most LCDs have a 'ghosting issue'; however, unless a person wants to spend 10K on a monitor, these are fine.

I see no ghosting when using VGA or HDMI. The only motion blurring I see occurs with composite, and that is largely because the TV's post-processing is applied bit by bit to each successive frame (which is good for reducing input lag).

DJ, no, this monitor does not show the sparkling effect. I browse many text articles and scroll through schematic pages with this monitor and I have never had a visual problem with mine. I got it in Nov, 2013 and had two live streaming windows open through the Winter Games in Feb of this year. Watching the biathlon, alpine, and snowslope ski events were fantastic.This monitor replaced a great Samsung that unfortunately succumbed to the capacitor bulge problem, and when I powered this up the first evening I noticed the upper edge does not get as hot like my old monitor did. I like this one and plan on getting a second one when I build my next computer so both my monitors match.Dave DJ, no, this monitor does not show the sparkling effect.

It sounds like there is a prob with the pixels.. i would return it, and get a replacement.

I didn't tweak much at all. I was content with the out of box picture but most importantly I LOVE this monitor and I'd recommend it 10 times over.

I'm thinking defective. I used both inputs switching between DVI & VGA and both worked fine. But if the problem exists on both monitors when used as analog then you may have another issue.

Are you using the cable that came with the monitor? I had some issues getting mine setup, but it was related to the cable I was using. You may want to try using a different cable rated for the high resolution that the monitor offers.

I have the same overactive proximity display problem on my VM230XVT. If you figure out how to fix the problem or if the update fixes it, please let me know. (tomkuhnjr@comcast.net).

I don't see that effect, but you should probably ask someone else. My eyes aren't perfect, and it might be something I don't notice. I can't say that I've ever seen that effect before. I've always had better-quality monitors, and I can say that I love this particular monitor very much. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it.

The main downside to this monitor is that it is a TN matrix panel. I have had nothing but IPS panels and I never realized TN panels could be so bad. Here's an example. Basically, I am looking at a white screen with my head level with the monitor. The middle of the screen is white, the bottom of the screen is a bit cyan/blue-ish white, the top of the screen is a pinkish-red white. I am about 2 feet away from the screen. If you can find a 120hz IPS panel, I'd say go for it. That's really the only downside. Getting the color, gamma, contrast, and brightness levels correct while not crushing blacks or washing out whites can be pretty difficult, but there are plenty of programs and calibrators and settings that you can find online that are quite suitable. Honestly, it's a turn off but I am getting used to it.

In all honesty, the default settings on this guy were pretty amazing. I did mess with the brightness a bit, but other then that I left it alone. I recommend you play around with the settings as the previous comment said. Everythings going to be different according to your tastes. You can also google/youtube the monitor settings as well. People usually post their settings there.
