Colors blur when moving

I get significant motion blur and ghosting on most things that aren't testbeds. Even browsing my vape library all the colors and stuff mix and match with each other. Anything black moving against a lighter background leaves a very noticeable trail. It almost looks intentional, but it's not a game, it's a monitor. As with most monitors, the built-in settings make navigation with buttons difficult. Most settings have little to no impact on the monitor's actual performance. The only setting this monitor positions itself at makes it very dim, even at the lowest settings the monitor gets about three times dimmer. And even increasing the brightness won't fix it. However, the monitor looks very good. Colors seem good and everything is clear when not moving, there are no scratches or anything like that on the monitor itself and its bending speed is good as it's not distracting or annoying as I've never had a curved monitor. I don't know how much I would like this, but it's pretty good. It's only when I stand up and look at different angles that I really see that the thing is crooked. I bought it for just under 300 and I'd say it was worth it, but a lot of games and videos don't support 1440p yet so I might have to hurry a bit. I'm also trying to get rid of that blur that will be even on this page when black text is smudged when scrolling up and down. Otherwise very good.

Pros
  • No problems, great colors, brightness and performance. I am very happy with this monitor.
Cons
  • Poor Response Time: If the monitor's response time is too slow, movements may appear blurry or slow.
