is a little bit of ghosting normal?
Well, I played a little with my 3D kit now and although I am impressed I am beginning to wonder: I only knew 3D from the IMAX movies and kinda expected the same when it came to gaming. But up til now every game had at least a little bit of ghosting (mostly in bright areas) - at first i thought it would have been my monitor-gfx-kit-combo but after downloading a few videos from the Nvidia site I realized that I do get the same bit of ghosting in the vision video player aswell.

Heck, i even downloaded some 3D trailers from a few other sides (Great Canyon Adventure f.e.) - even there I get the occasional ghosting issue.

So yeah...was I mistaken the entire time and you just have to live with this bit of ghosting or have I simply overlooked something?

Oh..fyi: I'm using the Acer GD245HQ and a GTX285 - tweaked with the monitor settings and tried almost every little thing you can read on the internet to eliminate ghosting; but I can't seem to get rid of it completly.

Yes its perfectly normal on a 120Hz LCD, and it is even normal at your local cinema. In the UK we have a Sky 3D advert at cinema's before 3D films, its white on black and ghosts badly.

If ghosting bothers you and you've tried the ghosting elimination methods (I believe Bloody posted them for this monitor on his blog) then you'll have to consider either getting a DLP TV or a Projector, these are equal to cinema's so ghosting will not be noticeable unless its white on black.

Thanks for clearing that up - at least now I can stop messing with the settings when suddenly seeing two shades :)

And aye...Bloody's suggestion was one of the first I tried - helped a little.
