Motion blur is the enemy of fast-paced gaming. It makes objects look smeared and reduces clarity during movement. Our motion blur test helps you evaluate your monitor's motion clarity.
What Our Motion Blur Test Detects
- Motion blur — Blur caused by slow pixel transitions
- Smearing — Pixels that lag behind their target color
- Trailing — Faint trails behind moving objects
- Ghosting — Overlapping images during motion
How to Run a Motion Blur Test
- Clean your screen — Remove dust and fingerprints.
- Set your monitor to maximum refresh rate — For accurate results.
- Click "Start Full Diagnosis" — The test runs in fullscreen mode.
- Watch the moving objects — Look for blur and smearing.
What Causes Motion Blur?
- Slow pixel response time — Pixels can't keep up with motion
- Low refresh rate — 60Hz is more prone to blur
- Sample-and-hold blur — Inherent to all modern displays
- Incorrect overdrive settings — Too low or too high
How to Reduce Motion Blur
- Increase refresh rate — 144Hz+ significantly reduces blur
- Enable ULMB / ELMB — Backlight strobing reduces blur
- Adjust overdrive — Find the sweet spot in your OSD
- Upgrade to OLED — Near-instant pixel response
