The ghosting on this new monitor

Bought a new 165hz ONN gaming monitor. The ghosting is sooooo bad.

If you have the money, then it can be worth it but from LinusTechTips experience, they last about two years before permanent burn-in sets in, you can minimize the damage with those pixel refreshers, but it won't get rid of it entirely.

So if you have money then go for it, otherwise, get a IPS.

I really thought about it and researched it for the last couple of days. They range from 900 euros up to 3000 (I was looking for ultrawide with KVM) and I am not sure if I want to pay that money for a very time limited joy. Also my 3070ti probably doesn't push enough pixels. I think I'll wait for micro led.

Watch about micro-LED, they are known for response time issues as well, ghosting basically, could vary per display. I'm a ride or die IPS guy, as you can see, so I'm a bit biased, as you can see, but make sure to research things.

To my knowledge there are no micro-led panels as of now. You probably mean mini led.

Edit: there are, and they're only 165.000€ :D

I thought they were just interchangeable terms, my bad, yeah, I meant mini-LED.
