Solved Best screen ever... with insane ghosting!

[SoulGame]

Hi,
I just got my Asus Tug Gaming VG32VQ 31,5" WQHD, it has amazing reviews all around.
But then I launched the game I'm working on and I notice huge ghosting(?) effect, so I tried the UFO test and here it is:

Despite the poor quality, you should see some large trails behind a few UFO, trust me, in real time it's actually everywhere.

I tried everything from different troubleshooting:
- Switch cables (I tried both HDMI and DisplayPort)
- Update drivers (for screen and graphic card)
- Tweak screen parameters (ELMB, Adaptive Sync, Trace Free)
- I also tried with and without GSync from nvidia panel.

The only parameter that seems to be doing something is "Trace Free", but still, the issue is huge. Color are leacking all around the place.

Should I just send the monitor back ? Or am I doing something wrong ?

My config:
- Win 10
- AMD RYZEN9 3900x
- MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super Gaming X

Have you changed the refresh rate in the display area in Windows?

I have a MSI Optix MAG321CQR that ghosts too and it has great reviews, but i am using gsync on it and its a monitor that's not officially supported by the gsync compatible list, although it does work, so maybe you are in a similar situation as me with that monitor. I am assuming itd fix itself if it became officially supported but idk.

@Dan

I made sure it's in 144hz in the NVDIA config panel, but if there is a windows settings I didn't find it.

@DXCHASE The thing with Gsync is that on or off, I'm unable to see any difference in the UFO test... How do you know if it actually does something?

EDIT: tweaking screen parameters Shadow Boost to level 2 or 3 does help reducing the ghosting for me. (in addition to Trace Free level 80)

Okay so I think I have my answer: this screen sucks.
In case someone else is lost and confused, here is the comparison:

My screen is the one on the left, you guest it, the shitiest one Regarding ghosting at least.
Here is the video comparison I took the image from:

The screen seems to be great for 3D gaming tho, I guess it's all about what's you gonna do with it.
