Should I return my Acer xz350cu ultrawide? Any Alternatives?

Hey guys, I recently purchased the Acer xz350cu monitor, (35", 2560x1080, ultrawide, 144hz) and noticed that is has relatively bad ghosting occuring. Im still able to play on it fine, but in certain lightings I get black and red trails coming off of objects. 

Are there any settings I could change to try to improve this?

Also, if it cant be improved enough and I try to return it, what are good alternatives to it for gaming? I picked it up from newegg for $500usd, and I would be willing to pay up to $600usd for a new one. Also, a video just went up about the korean panel they reviewed, should I look into that or not risk getting one that could potentially bad?

Yeah I'd return it. You can get for the same price a 3440x1440 ultrawide
