I thought 4K would be the next best thing to get, but I've discovered a strange fault in the model I purchased (Acer B286HK). I'm experiencing a strange ghosting affect. It's not the classic sub-60hz delay that would be one's first guess, as the affect in Windows and games does not appear on the other monitors that are hooked up to the machine that also run the same hz rate.
Take Civilization V as a good example, or scrolling through black text against a website background on a website. When viewing a dark area against a much lighter colored area and dragging the screen, the black smears a few millimeters behind, as if it's delayed. The same goes for when a white background has dark text scrolling over it, there is a whiter smear into the white area.
I don't even have to drag the mouse all that quickly for the affect to be noticed. The more I do notice it though, the more annoying and further noticeable it becomes...
I did try to record the affect to see if it was something other than the monitor as seen below. There was only the smear affect when viewing the recording on the 4K monitor, all others the recording looks fine (those monitors DID exhibit the classic low hz drag that isn't the 'smear' I'm talking about).
I recorded this on a camera pointing at the monitor:

What about "OverDrive"? I was reading about that. The only problem is that the monitor doesn't seem to have the option.
Windows reports: "3840 by 2160, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz"
Any ideas on what this might be would be great to know! Thanks guys.
