Question Slightly blurry/pixelated effect while image is in motion.

[-Ash22-]

I've recently built my first PC and something is bothering me, everytime the image/camera moves in a game or video the effect from title's occur, I've tried changing increasing the monitor's refresh rate, disabling vsync, but it was still there...

Now the curious part is, when I tried to screenshot the issue , the image was completely normal in the pic. Any idea on what it could be?

Monitor: Philips 221V8L

see if the display has any blur-reduction options in it's OSD menu.
there can also be other types of filters the display uses that you may want to try disabling if you find them there.

if the distortion/blur occurs while in-game but not in screenshots it is more than likely the display itself not able to display the motion properly.

There's no option related to blur reduction in OSD, also its not even really a blur, its more like a blocky pixelation that makes the image looks slightly blurry while in motion. I've used laptops my entire life and never seen something like this, so I'm really confused.

try another output like to a TV or something and see if it's also gone there.
this would confirm that it is the display itself.

you can record the screen with a hi-res video from phone or camera,
upload to Youtube or other video sharing site, and link here.

Your monitor use VA (vertical alignment) instead of IPS

Unfortunately my phone's camera isn't good enough to properly record the issue. But I'll eventually try with another monitor.

Interesting, but doesn't really looks like the issue I'm dealing with. Also, how come I've never seen anything like that? Are laptop screens and TVs usually better than monitors?

Just a reminder that this only happens on games and videos, scrolling websites or images have no effect.

Are laptop screens and TVs usually better than monitors?

there are different types of panels for monitors, TVs, and smaller devices.
all of them offering different pros & cons.

you would need to put some time into researching the subject to understand what this means and why your display may not be able to handle motion as good as other types.

I'm definitely going to dig further into this.

Just giving a quick update, turns out its not pixelation exactly, but vertical lines, I found out by running this test. Reducing the speed to 60pixels/sec pretty much normalized the image, and pausing obviously displayed it normally. Can you guys make something out of this?
