Blurry details when panning camera in multiple games

[S8ANisF8AL]

I've recently been noticing issues with the image in games I've been playing. Anytime that I pan my camera in any direction, everything gets extremely blurry. Things that stay centered in the camera are fine, but all text (over a mission waypoint), characters, or textures in the game that I'm playing tends to blur. It's almost like a slight vibration.

I (think) microstutter has been ruled out as it happens with both a locked and unlock frame rate. All post-processing is disabled (DoF, Motion Blur, Chromatic Aberration, etc.) when applicable. I can't figure out what's going on.

Maybe it's normal and it's something I just picked up on. Anyways, here is my setup, any help would be appreciated.

I7-4790k
MSI 980ti 6G
Gigabite Z97x-SOC
16 GB G. Skill RAM
Display is a 60" LG Plasma HDTV.

Have you tried using V-sync as a test to see if the blurry details stop happening?

 

[S8ANisF8AL]

yes, I almost always use v-sync with my games, and when I disabled v-sync the issue still persisted...and added in screen tearing.

By chance is the plasma 60hz?

It is 60hz, I just watched some Youtube video with Dishonored gameplay (which is the last game I tried to play), and I didn't notice it in the video at all. I think that rules out the display being the issue. May try and update my GPU drivers and see if that works.

Yeah the screen is totally the issue whats the refresh rate im guessing its probably above 5ms

Do you by chance know the model number for the plasma?

 

[S8ANisF8AL]

The refresh rate is 60hz, if you're referring to response time, then I don't know the exact number, but I do know that response times in plasma displays are almost non-existent because of the way their pixels work.

Um just a quick weird question does that TV have a GAME MODE option for picture?

yes, I have it active and also manually went in to make sure that all of the displays post-processing effects were turned off.

Brilliant, don't see how I missed that, thanks!

Next step imo reset the tv game mode back to default settings, uninstall drivers reinstall and try playing again if it persists try another game and see if it continues to happen.

Gonna try that then. Going to try each step individually to try and isolate the problem for future reference.

Just tried both solutions. First graphic drivers, and then resetting game mode back to defaults. Neither one worked.

So all games do this blurry issue?

 

[S8ANisF8AL]

All of them that I've tried. Bioshock Infinite, GTA V, (both 3rd and 1st person views), Dishonored. Played some Guilty Gear Xrd and Blazblue CSE the last couple days and they did fine (2d fighters).

 

[hiyabusared]

Have you tried a different tv or monitor? Cause that be simple elimination right there if it doesn't happen on the other tv/monitor then perhaps the plasma might be starting to have some issues

 

[S8ANisF8AL]

Yeah, I've thought of that. Unfortunately I don't have access to a second tv or monior, this is the only one in the house.

 

[hiyabusared]

test that tv with a laptop you own by chance see if it happens too?

 

[S8ANisF8AL]

Would have to try that when my wife gets home from work. She has the laptop on her.

Here is a video of the problem in progress. I just watched it on my wife's laptop (since the specs aren't good enough to run the games), and I'm still noticing the issue in the video. That eliminates my display from the equation since the video has captured the issue and it's showing up on any screen I watch it on.

So it's an issue with settings...I just can't figure out which one...

On my screen that video has no blur, it's your screen
