Extreme Ghosting 360hz OLED

Post by WoollyGeezer » 12 Jun 2025, 19:19

I am getting considerably high ghosting on my aw2725df Alienware 360hz OLED.

I am also getting this on my 32" 4k 240hz Alienware oled.

Is this normal? If so, would I benefit from the upcoming newer 500hz oleds or perhaps a 600hz TN strobed panel with dyac/ulmb?

My next step is going going to be a higher quality display port cable considering it is a 10 foot run. Although I have tried turning it from 10 to 8bit in the settings and the problem remained the same.

I don't have an overdrive setting in the monitor's settings.

The footage seems to be missing from the post, but since we're talking OLED with instant GtG response times I believe you're referring to phantom array/stroboscopic effect? If so, this is normal persistence behavior for stationary eye/camera and moving images. That would explain the ghosting if this is how u test for it.

In this case (1B) it's not about blur busting, but the opposite. You want more motion blur. It is fixable with ultra high frame + refresh rate which is unfortunately not achievable yet. We're slowly getting there tho. 240 or 360 or 500 Hz fps is not enough for the very fast motion where the effect is most noticeable. GPU motion blur can help as well since it blurs the gaps between frames.

Good example of this effect that we encounter every day would be mouse cursor. Here is how it scales with sample rate:

1B - Stationary Eye vs Moving Mouse Cursor at 3840 px/sec speed

2B - Tracking Eye vs Moving Mouse Cursor at 3840 px/sec speed

Try the mouse cursor test yourself.
