ghosting problem on Samsung 931bw LCD [caused by RTA]

[Dzoni73]

i have other problem, white text, white images on black or dark silver background are duplicating all the way trough the right side of screen , similar to motion blur.

im using analog connection on my vga.

RTA, Press Menu, Choose the one with 3 bars, you know, like an equalizer, choose RTA, then disable it. i hate it by the way, the games looks like 20fps with it enabled

this doesn't look like something you would lose sleep over. y r people so picky

For the newbie who did this video:

There is ghost because it is from black to white or white to black. The time measured of 2ms isn't measured from those 2 extremes.

Now you know noob!

[EEKA89]

"Fixing" the RTA would be to adjust it to more passive, which would result in a response time far above 2ms.

Without RTA at all, this screen would have a response time above 10ms.

Now you know.

I have a problem when you scroll up or down on any thing the screen slowly scrolls to do nothing can someone help me out?

[bulakatoy]

maybe its the video cards problem

[RobbieYarr]

Where would one find the option to turn off RTA? I have a T220HD and was wondering if I could do it on that.

[boddhs]

son of a bit^^... what do you know, ive been putting up with this ghosting bull since i bought my 931BW, yep its that damned RTA alryt, turned it off and buhbye ghostys ^_^

[gregbacsi]

is there a way to switch off RTA once and for all?

[Crittique]

Thanks for putting up this video.

I see you said there is a pinkish tinge.

Mine has the same.

Also I notice HDR effects are very bright on this monitor compared to my old CRT.

My colour setting at R15 G15 B15 seems to be the best.

Turning RTA off stopped the pinkish ghosting.

Using the drivers from microsoft by updating through device manager also made the image better.

[KumaguroBeam]

without looking through all the comments, have you checked to see if the video driver was installed? :)

[GodofLegacy]

I have a 226bw and RTA causes dotted lines and bands on the screen and noise around icon, i would love to know how to disable RTA by default... is it a fault with the monitor or is it suppose to do it???

[tiiff1]

Didnt do anything like that on my 226bw..

Maybe your screen is malfunctioning / broken.

[ttm56]

oh what REALY sucks is that you can't turn off RTA by default.

Every time you poweroff/on the LCD, RTA is set to "enabled" again :(

again, at least i've learned something. DONT TRUST those ms numbers. They mean nothing in "real" conditions.

[zehpingadinha]

This sometimes happens to me, but RTA can either reduce or increase ghost effect.

My monitor is Samsung 2232bw

At the moment the RTA is on, without ghosts, but some minutes ago it was doing the opposite effect.

[gregbacsi]

you just think this caused by this RTA or something. this is definitely GPU-problem.

[anon69]

no, it's been tested. Two LCDs, same GPU, only Samsung's RTA caused this. Read the comments.

[fuckyoucibaikia]

Hey, i have the same monitor. Can you tell me how to turn off RTA?

[gregbacsi]

thats rather a vga problem than the monitor's.

[anon69]

This is caused by the monitor's RTA option. Please read the comments.

[fiftycent12]

I have a panasonice hdtv monitor and i cant play games on it because the ghosting is soooooooooo, badd, can anyone help me /

[steven1986b]

i also wan to know this is display card or lcd problem?

[anon69]

This is caused by the monitor's RTA option. Please read the comments.

[steven1986b]

this problem is display card or LCD problem?

[nakkje]

Yeah, noticed the same thing on my 226BW. Caused by RTA too. Kinda weird that Response Time ACCELERATION causes ghosting, but hey, at least it's easy to fix.

[area51utube]

what lame gpu are you using? lol....

[anon69]

It is not related to GPU but a setting called RTA. Read the comments.

[McGuywer]

I have the 961bw and I've noticed the ghosting but only when a sp called RTA setting is on. RTA is an "overcklock" to the original response time of 2ms. I am never using it.

[anon69]

Thanks, I think you got it. I turned off RTA and the problem seen here is gone. So turn it off if you see this issue.

[achan26]

hey man I have the same monitor and I dont have this problem

[JoeRinoie]

LOL, you need more power, thats not a ghosting problem.

[Genome66]

Well put, what is your GFX card? on the lappy and the desktop, also what version of windos is that?

cause that my friend is your pc lagging cause of the demanding resolution (1440x900)

[JoeRinoie]

Well, im using a decent xfx 7600gt vidcard and the same res same monitor on vista and runs very smooth. Maybe hes just a little demanding with cheap things. This is a 2ms i gray to gray. Maybe is 5ms in b to b.

[anon69]

The video here was slowed by 4x to show the effect. I am running a 8800 GTS on C2D now, so don't even go there. Now listen: I have two LCDs in front of me right here connected to the same card: the 931bw has the problem, the other doesn't. It's a panel/manufacturing batch problem. Case closed, mm-kay?

[JoeRinoie]

LOL, anyway, this is a value monitor. 2ms in Gray to Gray. But thanks for the advice.

[anon69]

I think the problem may be caused by the colors because there's a slight reddish tint and white is not really white compared to the other monitor. It's not a huge deal, just annoying. At this point I don't really care anymore.

[Genome66]

Ok I just bought this monitor and it motion lurs like a M*therf*cker Iv'e tried it on 3 PC's and in this response time test program It get 25ms!!! 2ms WTF!!! I sent one back to samsung but the new on still does it! HELLPPP! Please! I'm a skint 16 year old!

[ttm56]

Same here, sad point is: 2ms is just GRAY TO GRAY, which means shit - i guess.

Don't trust those numbers. Test them in real life. My old 16ms Sony performes WAY nicer than my new Samsung 2ms.

sad but true

[Genome66]

OK, but that is NOT ghosting, The colors would be streaming making the writing look like its has a ghostly trail... your writing simply jumps from one place to another this is not the pixels smoothly transforming from color to color slowly. That my friend is lag. Reinstall your drivers tell me your specs and what windows your running. If its vista i'm not surprised its lag, MS piece of junk anyone who buy's it now is a major SUCKER

[anon69]

Whatever we call it, this issue has been duplicated when connected to the store technician's computer, and the replacement unit I received also does the same thing. It's not very noticeable so most people can just forget about it.

[Genome66]

you simply don't have hardware accelaration turned on. thats cause windows is running its API on software mode cause you aint got know drivers on your hardware. its simply lag not ghosting you n00b.

[anon69]

I have full acceleration, latest Nvidia driver and monitor driver.

[marquesbill]

obviousily the problem is in your videocard

[anon69]

I just tried it on my laptop and recorded the result: the problem more or less remained. See the video response, part 2.
