Not really, I have gone through several monitors in the past few months trying to find one I like just right. Asus IPS, Asus 2ms ones, Dell 2ms TN's, LG IPS, and I honestly I never noticed any ghosting except for once, oddly enough on the Dell TN panel, my mouse trail was irregularly slow at removing the old pixels as I moved my mouse cursor around. LG IPS was at 8ms, and really it was more so at the 14ms range, and I didn't notice not ghosting really, but a less snappy response in general.

My current QNIX 1440 6ms has been perfect though, not noticed any ghosting at all.
