Gaming Monitor "Ghosting" (Motion Blur)
4.5
Fast-moving objects leave a trail or "ghost" behind them on the screen.
Symptoms
- Blurry movement
- Trailing images
- Smearing
Possible Causes
- Slow pixel response time
- Incorrect Overdrive setting
- VA panel limitation
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Adjust Overdrive/Response Time
In the monitor's OSD menu, set Response Time to "Fast" or "Normal" (avoid "Fastest" as it causes overshoot).
2
Check Refresh Rate
Ensure your monitor is actually running at its rated speed (e.g., 144Hz) in Windows settings.
3
Lower Brightness
Sometimes high brightness can exaggerate smearing on certain panels.
When to See a Technician
Ghosting is very common on cheaper VA panels; IPS and TN panels are generally better for motion clarity.
