I currently have an Acer B326HULYMIIDPHZ which I got for two reasons: above-HD resolution and large size. Unfortunately, when I tried playing FIFA 15 on it yesterday, I saw quite considerable ghosting. So now I'm wondering what I could replace it with. Budget would probably top out around $600 or so. Video card is a Sapphire R290. Games played: sports and racing.

Thanks!

The panel itself might not be fast enough to eliminate ghosting. I don't know the numbers for that model but some monitors just aren't "gaming" monitors. Not that a monitor needs to be purpose built, but it needs to refresh fast enough to eliminate ghosting.

As long as you check the refresh rate to be faster than the one you currently have you'd be OK to use it for gaming purposes.

You could try the 4K Gsync Acer monitor although it is pretty pricey, currently $683 on Amazon. Not many pure gaming options for 4K currently.
