Ghosting Test
- OLED <1ms — virtually no trail
- TN 1ms / Fast IPS 4-5ms — excellent
- Standard IPS 5-8ms — good
- VA dark transitions 15-40ms — visible smear
Professional Ghosting Test
Three speeds
Office scroll / video / FPS gaming presets cover every daily motion scenario.
Multiple backgrounds
Black, gray and dark VA-smear scenes expose panels slow at dark transitions.
Overshoot mode
High-contrast edges make Overdrive coronas clearly visible.
What Is Ghosting?
GtG response
Gray-to-gray pixel transition time. Specs quote best case; dark transitions are often 3-5x slower.
MPRT
Moving Picture Response Time includes backlight persistence — closer to perceived blur.
VA smear
VA panels transition slowly out of black; dark objects leave comet trails in dim scenes.
How to Use
Go fullscreen
Click the canvas or press F to remove window chrome distractions.
Switch speed & scene
←→ changes scene, ↑↓ changes speed. Cover your main use cases.
Watch the trail
Follow the block edge: longer trail = slower response; bright corona = overshoot.
Panel Response Comparison
TN
Esports veteran
- + 1ms response
- + Cheap
- − Poor colors
- − Narrow angles
IPS
Mainstream all-rounder
- + Great colors
- + Fast IPS 4-5ms
- − Weak dark contrast
VA
High-contrast media
- + 3000+ contrast
- + Deep blacks
- − 15-40ms dark smear
OLED
Response king
- + <1ms instant
- + No ghosting
- − Burn-in risk
- − ABL dimming
Optimization Tips
Start Overdrive at the medium OSD level; step down if coronas appear.
On VA panels, raise black stabilizer in dark games to reduce smear visibility.
Ghosting worsens at low VRR framerates — keep fps mid-range or enable LFC.
BFI reduces motion blur but halves brightness and may add flicker.
FAQ
Test Environment
- Normal room lighting is fine
- Track the block with your eyes, not a fixed point
- Watch each speed for 10+ seconds
- Judge relative to spec, not absolute numbers
