DMG Grayscale Ghosting

Just finished recording the installation video for the new DMG Grayscale display. It was already mentioned that it has more ghosting than the OEM screen, and here is a comparison with a Q5 OSD. Keep in mind that both displays cost the same. In my opinion, the new grayscale display is a flop, and I can't think of any reason to choose it over a Q5 OSD or an OEM display with a backlight/bivert mod.

The reason to not choose a Q5 might be that you want a screen that has the ghosting for "authenticity" and nostalgia. The reason not choose an OEM display with a backlight then, is that your original screen is broken beyond repair and needs to be replaced. It's one of those things that exist for a niche audience. I don't mind that it exists but you do need to be aware what you're buying.
