S2719DGF Ghosting

Had this monitor for a week now and it is my second monitor for browsing/discord/streaming etc.

It has crazy ghosting when scrolling down a page with text. Most noticeable scrolling through google with white background. The monitor is set to 144hz.

Has anyone else had this? Is it just my monitor? I've ordered a DP cable to see if that will take care of it. My main is a Acer XB270HU and I have nothing like this.

I thought TN panels are supposed to have great response times?

What have you got the overdrive set to?

Sounds like you may have the response time setting set to 'super fast'. This causes extreme overshoot ghosting.

The optimal setting on this model at 144hz is 'fast' or 'normal'. Normal has some powdery trailing, fast removes this but adds some mild overshoot, which one is better depends on your personal preference. At lower frame rates (important when using freesync / g-sync compatible) normal becomes preferable as the overshoot on fast becomes large.

TNs do have great response times but manufacturers often use too strong overdrive causing overshoot. Strong overdrive reduces response times even though it causes overshoot ghosting which looks bad.

Sounds like overshoot not ghosting. Take it off the highest setting.
