GL Series (+more) display panels affected by inverse ghosting

[hexaae]

Inverse ghosting reported by many users with display panel AUO B173HAN03.2 [AUO329D] (GL703GS). Also with G-Sync OFF and in fullscreen or window. Look at the borders of the distant objects and you'll see an ugly dark ghost trail while moving mouse.

Will ASUS release new firmware update (if possible) for these screens?

I don't think that's possible since you would have to reflash the LCD panel directly.

What do you mean by that ?
LCD panel doesn't have any kind of memory to flash . It is controlled by graphics card and system drivers .
Correct me if I'm wrong .

It does have a firmware. Even your mouse has a firmware, the integrated webcam, touchpad, SSD, routers, wireless headphones and so on. Thing is, most of them are not user upgradeable.

Please ASUS do something and give us a fix for annoying Inverse Ghosting!

Just want to add I have this issue also on my GL702v. Did not notice an issue when I bought it in April last year but since at least Oct or Nov very noticeable on any game of 60fps or less. either that or some games are not affected like Destiny 2 and Horizon 4 but I can play them at over 60fps. Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Xcom2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider etc all exhibit severe ghosting. What is responsible and why?
Edit: Actually it looks like resolution fixes the issue, in part. Playing Horizon 4@1080p and 75fps+ and I still get the ghosting. At 1440p it's gone.
