No, I started with 1ms and no dark time. As you say there was ghosting. So I switched to 750/250, there was no ghosting and no recognizable loss of brightness. So I stuck with it. It was a demo application on a tight schedule, only to be used once. No reason to do it perfect. The pain threshold for usable heartbeats would have been somewhere between 5 and 10µs (I use 5µs for flash writing). So switching to something like 950/50 wouldn't have been an issue.
