Ghosting is a visible trail or smear behind moving objects.
Not every type of blur is ghosting. Some blur comes from sample-and-hold behavior.
- Overshoot is a related issue caused by overly aggressive overdrive and often looks like bright halos.
How to test it
Test at the panel’s native refresh rate.
Compare low, medium, and high overdrive modes.
- Judge both clarity and visible artifacts instead of only chasing sharpness.
How to reduce it
A balanced overdrive setting is usually safer than the fastest mode.
Make sure the monitor is running at the correct refresh rate.
- If possible, increase frame rate and compare again.
