[FIX] Alienware AW2518HF frameskipping/ghosting fix (and possibly all the other AW2XXX series such as the AW2521HF)

[TommioTTV]

Found some interesting finds using the service menu and trying out HDMI vs DisplayPort. When using DisplayPort, the EDID CEA 861 extension states +/- polarities meanwhile on the service menu it shows that the polarities actually being used are -/-. When using HDMI, the service menu shows +/-. Polarities affect when the monitor sync frames.

I have tried the settings on the original post and this has fixed the blue ghosting I'm getting on bright backgrounds.
Do these settings effect the response times on the monitor ?

6 bpc color depth has an effect for AW3418HW.

Hi I'm new here. I was wondering if these settings help reduce ghosting/blur whilst not using Gsync. I have near no ghosting/artifacts whilst using Gsync but I would like to turn GSync off and use either Superfast or Extreme on my 2521hf. Currently The ghosting bothers me a ton when playing aimlabs or valorant without GSync. Do these settings require gsync?

I know this thread is kinda old, thanks for taking the time to read my message

Hey i have the same monitor as you and suffer from terrible ghosting, was wondering if you managed to find settings that fixed it for you. Thanks in advance.
