Advice on a Design-Oriented 4K Display with limited ghosting

[jippa_lippa]

Hello.

I work from home as a motion graphics designer, and I have a 2 display set-up, one specifically for gaming (LG GN800 27" QHD 1ms 144Hz) that I also use as a secondary display for my After Effects workflow and a primary 4K display that I use only for animation and design work (also content consumption via the Apple TV 4K 2nd gen).

I have recently purchased an LG 27UL850, intrigued by the price point, design, colour performance and IO, but I have noticed an issue...the horrible ghosting...

 

Now, I'm absolutely aware that 4K IPS displays (below 600$ in price) have a 5ms response time at most, therefore some ghosting is to be expected, but this LG display has a severe amount of it.

Maybe I am especially sensitive to these things, because of my job, but I heard similar complaints over the LG Ultrafine Line with regards to ghosting.

Every sort of movement I see is a blurry mess, even at low speeds, and THANKFULLY amazon accepted my request for a refund, so I'm in the market for a replacement.

 

I am aware of the BenQ PD2700U, but I'd like to know if there are some alternatives too.

 

Please consider that I'm not made of money, therefore I'd ONLY need these characteristics for the display:

• 4K Resolution
• 60 Hz
• Decent performance with ghosting (within the limits of IPS 4K panels)
• 99/100% sRGB
• HDR 10 (or beyond)

With regards to the budget I'd prefer staying within 600$ USD, but I can approach 700$ if it's worth it.

Thank you so much!
