Ghosting/Slow response time/motion blur

Hey!

Bought a 16" Macbook pro 2 weeks ago.

I have problems with the display due to very slow response times. It leaves trails/smearing even when only scrolling a website. Especially white text on black background.

I have read up on it and there are many people that experience the same issue. Is this going to be fixed?

I could not use the computer for more than 15 minutes then it always got me feeling nautious because of the motion blurr effect. I also have a 13" from 2015 and yes, it does have some trailing/ghosting but it is to an acceptable level that is does not bother you.

I can't be alone in this right?

MacBook Pro 16", macOS 10.15

Hey, I have followed those steps including the SMC check, same issue.

It seems that problem is the panel itself has very slow response time. Here is a video to show the "motion blur" effect. Set the streaming quality to 1080p. To be clear I am not sitting around and dragging windows around all day. But this effect is the same that happens when you scroll normally on websites. Clearly leaves trailing/smudge.
