Monitor "Overdrive" response time damage or reduced lifespan ?

[aug]

Hello.
Thanks for reading my topic.
Some IPS monitors have an configuration named "response time" for "optimize" the response time.
However is as that naming "response time" is overdrive.
Overdrive increases the voltage sent to each pixel, making them respond faster than their natural response time.
Here I see an IPS monitor LG 24MP400 with "Response Time". Is possible select disable, normal, fast and faster.
Even using 75 HZ and selecting fast or faster that monitor have ghosting.
Strange detail is in specifications is 5 ms and overdrive setting was created for avoid ghosting.
I had used an LG E1641 TN with 16 ms and not does any ghosting.

Enabling "overdrive" fast can damage the monitor in long time of usage ? That setting is problem for monitor lifespan ?
Also not any information about what is the value of ms when selecing any setting (disable, normal, fast or faster) in manual.
The user not understand if only is used 5 ms if using faster.

Not is simple buy an monitor with good quality without any problem so as was in CRT age.
Have an nice day.

yes using the overdrive will decrease lifespan. just get a faster monitor to start with, if thats what you need/want.

There is no actual study done on the longetivity of a display using overdrive settings vs without it to my knowledge.

Just try to find a review and figure out what the recommended response time setting is - fastest pixel response time without significant overshoot. Most likely normal or fast.

anything overdriven or overclocked will shorten the life, it may be negligible, but it will.
not the highest, it will cause ghosting or shadows.
buying a faster, better monitor in the first place is the better option.

This may be technically true, but other parts of the monitor will wear out long before the transistors in the panel do, so effectively it's going to have no effect on monitor lifespan.

There are so many factors that affect how long a monitor lasts that there's no way you can say that a faster monitor with overdrive disabled will last longer than a slower monitor with overdrive enabled. Besides, even with the best, fastest LCD monitor, you will still want overdrive enabled, because why wouldn't you want lower motion blur?
