I have connected my old samsung SA650 monitor again and when i scroll up and down on sites with white text on coloured baggrounds, then i see some kind of shadow/ghosting of the text while i scroll..i havent seen this before..even in games i see some kind of wierd shadows on certain objects that looks similar to this ghosting/shadowing type that is going on..

 

Is the monitor broken ?

 

I cant take any screenshots of it

Welcome to the world of slow pixel LCDs .. That my friend is classic ghosting (blur) caused by slow pixel response times.

 

if the monitor has an overdrive option (unlikely if its old andl ow end), try enabled /increasing the setting.

if the display can run above 60hz, make sure ur running it at that frequency as somtimes running a display at a lower frequency also slows the pixel response.

 

Beyond that its not 'fixable'.

I see..yes i know i its old but i had to RMA my pg27uq and hopefully get my money back..then i will look for another monitor. Using 2080 rtx ti card with this monitor is embarrest.

 

I found an option on the monitor response timer an di set it to normal over fast. That was the problem

Ah so it was overshoot then. yes a lower overdrive setting would indeed have helped in that regard.
