Bought a monitor. Now replacing it...

So, I bought a 34GK950F and I loooove it. Except for when playing a game with movement. Which is, well. Every game. To be more specific it's games like LoL and HOTS. As soon as the camera moves everything that moves on the screen gets blurry/ghosting. I don't know which term is correct. But text for example gets a trail behind it, not only text in my case. It was everything. I tried using ULMB, using the "Faster" response time, which is supposed to be 1ms. But it kept happening.

I noticed that other people had this problem and it simply didn't get solved and most people just ended up returning it. Which is why I am here. I spent a ridiculous amount of time just trying to find the right monitor for me. I went through 2 other monitors before this one, those were VG27AQ and PG279Q both were total fails to me. Colors were terrible (especially the whites) and the latter couldn't even change sharpness in OSD. That plus it wasn't even sharp enough to start off with.

So I looked a little now and the first one I saw was XB273KP and some Alienware one but I just cannot decide. At first I was very particular with what I wanted. Now It's not as restricted but I want to be satisfied with my purchase, not "good enough". I just want good but accurate colors, so DCI-P3 90%< Delta-E 2 or very close to it. Nice refresh rate 144hz. And a resolution equal to or above 3440 x 1440. DPI at least 109. 27"<. My computer specs are 2080 TI, Intel 9900k.

I am very thankful for anyone who wants to help me in the quest of finding the right monitor for me :)

Edit: For the sake of broadening the choices let's just say that the budget is unlimited.

So what ur after doesnt exist.

 

There is no perfect monitor, and thats essentially what ur after. Good accurate colors and fast pixel response for blur free gaming.

 

your not going to find that.

 

In fact the 34GK950F-b is one of the better IPS panels in regards to pixel response time and blurring.

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/34gk950f-b

 

If ghosting/blurring is very obvious to you and its important that u want avoid that, then im afraid ur only real choice is to get a TN panel, and they are not going to be great quality in regards to color and uniformity.

 

here is a rtings filter showing the test results u should be interested in.

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/13133

This shows the results of all monitors they have tested. As u can see ur not going to find a monitor thats both fast and has a good image.

 

There are ZERO monitors in rtings review list that have 90%+ DCI-p3 coverage, fast response time to limit blurring, and have passable uniformity.

In fact 90% coverage is to high a target, 80% is more realistic but even then ur not going to find one thats fast enough.

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/table/13135

The above links shows all 80%+ DCI-P3 coverage monitors, and as u can see none have a fast enough 100% pixel response time, they are al lPS and VA, and most have terrible uniformity.

 

Perhaps the only other monitor u can try if u want to aim for better motion at the cost of slightly worse colors and uniformity is:
