Heavy ghosting on 6 ms monitor

[Wyndmere]

I got this brand new monitor(https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260311)  to replace my old 5 ms TFT monitor, but the new one feels much choppier and when i move the cursor while gaming i can notice ghosting trail on objects in the sky or where the terrain is uniform. Are there other things in play here other than response time? Thanks in advance!

Ghosting is determined by response time, but the advertised response time specs don't tell you what the response time is, you need to read detailed reviews that actually measure it.

I understand that there is some variation, but didn't expect such a huge difference between a 5ms and 6ms monitor

Check your monitor OSD menu for Overdrive option. Try higher values if it is there.

It has a response time option that can be set to either NORMAL or FAST, but when i set it to FAST there is horrible reverse ghosting (i can see it even with very slow mouse movements, i'm guessing like 300ms+)
