ASUS FIX THIS! GL Series: ALL 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.

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.

At 1440p using DSR? Tested and I still see ghosting for example in Lords of the Fallen...

Even if possible, you would need special tools to update the panel firmware. I don't think they will bother to fix it. You better off just replacing the panel with a different one.

ASUS should provide a free repair, replacing display model with B173HAN04 or fine tuning overdrive to remove ghosting!!

Someone knows if B173HAN03.2 and B173HAN04 can be swapped?

ASUS customer care on the phone denied it's a "issue" but it's a "feature of 144Hz" screens, even if I pointed out it's not present on similar 144Hz screens and others on the official ASUS forum reported the issue for the GL703GS...

This is interesting: new Armoury for 704 includes a mod-switch to control Overdrive!!

Why ASUS doesn't release the Overdrive module also for Gaming Center on GL703GS? It could potentially fix all issues with inverse ghosting also on our laptops!

New BIOS 308 for ASUS GL703GS...
Is the inverse ghosting less evident now (smaller dark trails) or is it just placebo?

Placebo I'm afraid . I've checked in few games. No change 😞

C'mon ASUS !!! FIX IT
