Hi, I just purchased a 24" TN monitor @ 144 Hz. Recently, as I was using it I kinda noticed while I was browsing the internet my texts are 'ghosting' as I scroll up/down. I tried to tweak some of its setting through the monitor menu. Then I found this Overdrive thing (it was set to medium, though it has weak, light, medium, strong options) I learned that having it turned on even in the lowest setting causes this ghosting on my display. I wanna know what exactly is Overdrive and the pros and cons of having it turned on, at least for gaming? Thank you very much guys!

Oh that's reasonable, I'm sorry. my monitor is a 24" AOC G2460PF @ 144Hz 1080p res. My GPU is Nvidia gtx 1070, and my processor is i5 7400.

Thank you!
