just bought a 27GL650F-B but when i look to a brighter area with some detail or transparency the colors looks like interlacing, making a strange vertical grill effect that i cant take a photo of it because when i dont move the screen the effect does not happen, some people said its inversion artifact, but im not sure, since my monitor is 27p 1080p can those be the fat pixels people talk about? im not sure because when the screen is not moving the colors look blend and ok(a bit pixelated but its ok for me). Im asking for advice, should i rma this monitor and ask another one? can this type of panel be cursed and all of these monitor have inversion artifacts? or should i buy another one like msi optix that is the same price/spec? sorry my english dudes, i really hope someone can advice me

It's difficult to understand exactly what you are seeing without an image.

I wonder if you are describing what is shown here: testufo.com

You might try all the other tests on testufo to narrow it down. Good luck.

this is more or less what i see(not a video), i dont know when i record the vettical lines turns horizontal but they are vertical and in real life it looks less worse than in the image, see in the sky? looks like a blue pixel line over a darker blue pixel line over a lighter blue pixel line...... it happens in every lighter colors, almost looks like scanlines, but when the image is stopped the colors look blend whit no lines, i dont understand

If... it's an LCD/LED display, chances are it's vRGB or vBGR and you're seeing subpixel interpolation effects poorly done.

Also check how the test patterns for inversion (pixel-walk) look like:

But note the scaling. It must be 100%. If you have 125% set in Windows for example, set it to 80% in the browser to make the total magnification 1.25 x 0.80 = 1.00. The fine patterns must be clearly seen, not blurred.

Hi,
Gaming mode can look weird or exaggerate colors on monitors/ tv's to
Best to switch the monitor mode to image instead or try all presets and pick the best or go manual.

As stated above try another cable and output port on your GPU. Also make sure your GPU is set to output FullRGB in the display settings of your drivers.

Then try another HDMI out. The iGPU if you have one. And see if your output is set to FullRGB and you use native resolution. Also reset you monitor.
