Blurry performance on high refresh rate monitors is a common issue faced by users. This problem often stems from the way screens function in conjunction with human perception of motion. Solutions are available to enhance clarity, particularly for gamers.
Ghosting, a visual artifact especially prevalent in IPS and VA panels, occurs when moving objects leave a faint, blurry trail due to slow pixel response times. To mitigate this, adjusting the monitor's overdrive settings can help. Enabling "Overdrive" increases voltage to pixels, allowing them to change colors more rapidly. Users may choose from varying overdrive strengths, but selecting the highest setting can lead to inverse ghosting, which can be more distracting.
Additionally, if a monitor supports backlight strobing or BFI, activating this feature can significantly reduce motion blur during fast-paced gaming. This technique combats persistence blur caused by the sample-and-hold method of displaying images, where each frame remains visible until the next is presented.
