C24FG70, Pixel Inversion?
Posted: 28 Mar 2017, 18:47
I decided to buy a 144hz monitor recently and after looking around I chose the C24FG70. The unit I received is a September model, which as I understand has some issues with FreeSync, however since I'm currently running a 1070, that not really a big deal for me.
What is a big deal is apparently pixel inversion, in my case it seems that any time there is motion on the display you can see a fine pixel grid for a fraction of a second, in games, videos, streams, web browsing ect.
From what I've read this is fairly common? But surely at some point it there has to be an exception, is it really this apparent, to the point of being very distracting?
I did try out the inversion artifacts test on here and the checkerboard pattern had what seemed like vertical scan lines with some fast flickering, with the colored bars it seems that blacks/grays seem to show it more than other colors, actually I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before but here is a picture of what it looks like.
If you look at the the darkest gray colored bars you can see what I'm seeing when I watch something on Netflix or play a game.
I think I also may have captured it a little bit in motion at the top of this video of a menu scrolling in game, but I'm not familiar with any of this.

So is this an extreme case or is this really normal? Because unless this is a defect, I'm not sure 144hz is worth it when the quality of the image is hit that hard. And no setting in the OSD has help reduce how pronounced it is as well.
