Скорость Overdrive [На мониторе]
Утро доброе всем, всю прошлую неделю выбирал себе монитор. Перешел обратно на TN, так как IPS меня не устроил из-за своих минусов. Но сейчас не об этом. Сейчас до перехода на 2к или 4к взял себе улучшенную модель моего старого монитора в которой я был уверен. До этого был Asus VG248QE, сейчас взял Asus VG248QG (разница лишь в дизайне, 165 герц вместо 144 и поддержка G-Sync (Freesync).
Вопрос заключается в следующем. По дефолту в мониторе стоит разгон в матрице на 60 (Trace free) тот же Overdrive в любом другом современном мониторе, только у Asus вот такое вот название. На параметре в 60 в игре появляются знатные такие черные шлейфы при движении камеры, фиксится это все банальным снижением до 20 параметр разгона матрицы. Пропадают все возможные артефакты.
На другом мониторе AOC, тоже проверил эту настройку и на соседнем мониторе жены тоже поставил ей на минимально возможную скорость так как смазывание черными шлейфами тоже ощущалось на среднем уровне.
Зачем вообще тогда эта настройка существует если она вызывает такие артефакты? На старом мониторе Asus VG248QE насколько я помню у меня стояло по дефолту 60 и ничего такого я не видел. Но на более новых моделях существует вот такой баг.
Если на пк по началу я еще сидел и было вроде все нормально даже на 60, хотя шлейфы я начал замечать в Battlefield 5, то при переключении на PS5 все что выше 20 создает настолько огромные черный шлейфы что играть невозможно.
Сейчас я остановился на выборе в значении 20 и для пк и для PS5. Могут какие-то другие факторы влиять на это?
не думаю, что ты первый такой на планете, но редкий уж точно.
Засветы и вертикальная сетка на светлых оттенках на моделях на которых я сидел, убили все желание в ips
Не только киберспортсменам. У TN самое быстрое и "настоящее" время отклика, а это значит, что в игре меньше моушен блюра и нету гостинга как правило и вообще все плавно по сравнению с IPS/VA. Ну все плюсы TN в плане отклика не только в мультиплеере заметно. А то что пишут в рекламе про отклик VA/IPS это часто не соответствует реальности.
Есть даже форум blurbusters посвященный выбору мониторов. Там там люди месяцами обсуждают какой монитор выбрать чтобы меньше всего гостинга и блюра было. И те, кто очень не любит гостинг/блюр в итоге ТН берут, остальные соглашаются на какие-то компромиссы и ищут тот редкий монитор на котором меньше всего гостинга и прочего по сравнению с другими мониторами на этой же матрице. Короче есть не только киберкотлеты, а просто люди, которые не любят гостинг/блюр.
Да и IPS идет в комплекте с раздражающим bleed/glow и плохим контрастом по сравнению с VA. Остается VA и TN, у VA тоже хватает проблем и вообще можно наткнуться на откровенный хлам коим являются некоторые VA мониторы Самсунг.
Остается TN как "безопасная покупка". TN идеальна практически во всем, кроме углов обзора которые 90% людей вообще не мешают так как в монитор люди смотрят не с потолка, пола или из угла комнаты.
Ну и "сочность" картинки на IPS это спорный момент и я бы сказал, что эта "сочность" тоже на любителя. Так как на IPS просто более естественные цвета, но это не всегда идет на пользу играм. А часами возиться с настройками монитора чтобы конкретная игра выглядела так, как ты к ней привык на старом мониторе так себе затея. Короче все на любителя и каждый монитор имеет место быть.
Что такое овердрайв на мониторе?
Технология компенсации времени отклика LCD-матрицы, известная как Overdrive (у каждого производителя она имеет свое фирменное название) обеспечивает существенное ускорение переключения пикселей.
Что делает Overdrive на мониторе?
Среди прочих фишек игровых мониторов выделяют и скорость отклика. Производителям сложно совместить быстрые пиксели и матрицу с высокой цветопередачей, поэтому они разгоняют мониторы с завода и называют это овердрайвом.
Что такое DCR в настройках монитора?
Динамическая контрастность (DCR) позволяет автоматически настраивать яркость экрана для углубления отображения более темных участков изображения. Контрастность повышается посредством затемнения темных участков и осветления ярких участков. DCR подходит для просмотра фильмов и видематериалов.
Что такое режим RTS на мониторе?
Режим RTS, созданный при участии команды StarTale, позволяет автоматически производить калибровку монитора. Режимы FPS и RTS обеспечивают геймерам оптимальную яркость и контрастность изображения. Даже в нечетких сценах, среди отвлекающих и затемненных областей, игроки могут найти врагов и отследить каждый их шаг.
Как правильно настроить монитор?

What Is Overdrive on a Monitor? How to Use It
If you want crispier moving videos/images, or if you ever see some ghosting effect appear on your monitor, you might want to adjust your overdrive settings.
So, what exactly does the overdrive setting do to your monitor? Simply saying, this setting changes the rate at which a pixel changes its color.
Now, let’s get into what overdrive is and what it does in detail.
What is Overdrive on a Monitor
Enabling or disabling overdrive on a monitor adjusts how much ghosting effect you see on your monitor. Therefore, before we get into overdrive settings, you need to know about ghosting and inverse ghosting.
Ghosting Effect on A Monitor
In order to display an image, the monitor lights up each pixel to a different color according to the image itself. So when a monitor plays a video, the color in these pixels needs to change according to the video.
However, on some monitors, the color of these pixels does not change instantaneously. So, when you have an item, such as the mouse cursor, on a screen move, you will see a small trail behind a fast-moving item.
For example, suppose you have an object on a monitor moving at a high speed with a black background. In one frame, a particular set of pixels lights up to display this object. When this object moves, the corresponding pixels light up.
Now, the previously lit pixel needs to change its color to the background color. However, it cannot do so instantly and takes some amount of time. This gradual change in a pixel’s color leaves a trail of faintly lit pixels behind the actual object, which looks like the high-speed moving object itself.
This phenomenon is called ghosting or ghosting artifact on a monitor. You can especially see this happen when you run a fast-paced game.
The response time of a monitor is one of the major factors that tell us whether a monitor displays a ghosting effect.
Let’s consider a 60Hz monitor. This monitor refreshes an image 60 times per second. So, mathematically, there are 16.67 milliseconds between two refresh cycles. Meaning that a pixel must change color in less than 16.67 milliseconds.
- For a 144Hz monitor, the time between frames is 6.64ms.
- For a 240Hz monitor, the time between frames is 4.17ms.
- For a 360Hz monitor, the time between frames is 2.78ms.
If a pixel’s response time exceeds this limit, the object on the screen leaves a visible trail behind its edges.
To minimize ghosting on any object on a screen, we enable the overdrive feature on a monitor.
Overdrive on a Monitor
We turn on the overdrive setting to get rid of the trail left behind by a fast-moving object on a monitor. Enabling overdrive reduces the pixel transition time.
A reduction in pixel transition time changes the rate at which a pixel changes its color. So, when we enable the overdrive, it does not let a pixel faintly change color. It does this almost instantly. This will reduce the light trail of an object, and hence, reduces the ghosting effect.
Accessing Overdrive Setting on a Monitor
To access the overdrive settings on your monitor, open its On-Screen Display menu. You can open them by pressing the button on either of the sides. Navigate the OSD using said buttons and search for overdrive settings.
Settings for Acer Predator X34 Monitor
Depending on the manufacturer, your monitor will have different names that indicate overdrive settings. Search for settings named Rampage Response, OD, Overdrive, Response Time, TraceFree.
What is the Best Overdrive Setting
Once you find the overdrive setting on your monitor, set it to normal or medium. If there are numbers to set overdrive level, 50 would be best. Setting Overdrive to mid ranges decreases the ghosting trail on your monitor without causing inverse ghosting.
If you cannot find overdrive settings on your monitor, it can be that it does not have these settings. Please check your monitor’s detail to see if your monitor has an overdrive setting.
What Are the Disadvantages to Enabling Overdrive Settings
Although enabling overdrive settings is a great way to reduce ghosting on a monitor, it has some drawbacks. So, without further delay, let us discuss a few of those.
Increase Input Lag
If you have an older monitor, the algorithm that runs overdrive can cause some amount of input lag on your PC. Input lag generally occurs when there is some amount of delay in displaying frames sent from the GPU to your monitor.
Fortunately, modern monitor manufacturers have a workaround to this issue. So, you won’t probably have any input lag problems.
Inverse ghosting
As discussed above, overdrive increases a pixel’s transition time, but if done to the extreme, this change can go beyond what the target color is supposed to be. This results in a bright halo around the moving object.
Ghosting and Inverse Ghosting, in general, do not affect gameplay or FPS (Frames Per Second). It is, however, an unappealing visual flaw that might remove you from the game’s immersion.
How to Check If Your Monitor Has Ghosting
There are multiple sites on the internet that help you to check if the monitor has ghosting or inverse ghosting. However, testufo has an amazing motion test that you can use to determine whether your monitor suffers from ghosting.
Once you open the website, wait a few seconds for the site to adjust to your monitor’s refresh rate.
On the webpage, you can see three horizontal sections with UFOs that go from left to right. Check the middle section. If your monitor has a higher response time, you will see a small trail behind a UFO’s edges.
A lower trail means your monitor has good pixel response time or pixel transition time.
Is Overdrive Necessary?
If you run a 240Hz monitor and its pixels take longer than 6.94ms (time between frames), you will get a ghosting effect on your monitor. This is much more common in monitors with a higher refresh rate.
So, Overdrive is absolutely necessary if you use a monitor with a refresh rate of 144Hz or higher.
Is Enabling Overdrive Good For the Monitor?
Enabling overdrive reduces ghosting, giving you a crispier moving object on a screen. However, if you set overdrive to the extreme, it can cause inverse ghosting or pixel shooting.
Does Overdrive Affect Performance?
Overdrive settings are only accessible through the monitor, which means that GPU, CPU, or RAM are not involved in this process. Therefore, we can conclude that overdrive does not affect your system’s performance as long as you set it to medium.
However, on older monitors, if you set overdrive settings to extreme or high, you will see a small delay between video frames being sent to the monitor and the monitor displaying the said frame.
Furthermore, if you set overdrive settings to an extreme, your monitor will have a visual flaw. This visual problem is called inverse ghosting,
What Is Overdrive on a Monitor? | Tweaks You Can Make to Enhance Performance
Overdrive on a monitor is a feature that enables the gamer to tweak the monitor’s response time speed to prevent ghosting or trailing of fast-moving objects. If you are playing fast-paced games, you may experience motion blurs that affect your gaming and deny you a smooth gaming experience.
Key Takeaways
- The overdrive feature helps boost your monitor’s response time to get rid of ghosting on your screen
- The best overdrive setting to use on your monitor is normal or medium.
- Not all monitors come with overdrive settings
- Overdrive is required for the best gaming experience on higher refresh rate screens
Depending on your monitor’s refresh rate, a powerful overdrive can lead to inverse ghosting or cause a pixel overshoot. If you are taking part in competitive gaming, it’ll be best to adjust your overdrive settings on the gaming monitor to achieve a response time that’ll ensure smooth graphics.
So, what does overdrive on a monitor refer to? Keep reading to find out more.
What Is Overdrive in a Monitor Setting?
Your monitor overdrive settings are in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu. You can find the settings under various names on your display screen, including Response Time, Overdrive, or TraceFree. Besides the overdrive settings, you’ll find other settings, including brightness and contrast settings.
You’ll encounter various overdrive levels to adjust when you open the overdrive menu. Most of the time, the settings include slow, normal, fast, and faster. In other monitors, you’ll find the settings in numbers. Some monitor brands allow you the chance of turning them on or off, while in different monitors, you’ll find it in default, which is often normal.
Not all monitors come with overdrive settings. If your monitor doesn’t have the overdrive feature, you cannot adjust the response time to enjoy lesser ghosting.
What Is a Monitor’s Response Time Speed?
The response time is the pixel transition time a screen uses to change from one response time to the other. For example, a 60 Hz refresh rate monitor will refresh an image 60 times per second. Thus, it features 16.67 milliseconds between two refresh cycles.
If the monitor has a slow response time, meaning the pixel takes longer to change, it will still change in the next frame, leaving visible trailing behind the pictures in motion on your screen.
The response time should be faster for a monitor with a refresh rate of 144 Hz that has a 6.94ms refresh cycle. The response time overdrive, also known as response time compensation (RTC), comes into play in such instances. It helps push the pixels to change from one color to the next faster.
Which Overdrive Settings Should You Use?
As mentioned earlier, monitor overdrive settings come in varying levels, including low, medium, and high. But, which overdrive setting should you choose to ensure you enjoy the best response time? If your overdrive doesn’t have an on/off switch, you’ll mostly find the pointer at normal or medium.
If you are experiencing ghosting on your screen, it’ll be best to change the overdrive settings upwards to shorten the response time overdrive. You should shift the ticker to the high overdrive setting to achieve the shortest response time that your monitor can achieve. However, if you place the ticker too high, you’re likely to experience a pixel overshoot, also known as inverse ghosting caused by too much overdrive.
A pixel overshoot is when the overdrive settings are so high that they affect the entire display. It’ll be best to change the overdrive settings to the option between high and medium. If you can’t adjust to the position, it’ll be best to leave the ticker at the medium option.
Although the overdrive is an ideal adjustment for increasing the response time, you should avoid using it on games that don’t have ghosting. If your monitor features poor overdrive optimization, you’ll end up with poor display settings instead of a faster response time.
If you experience motion blur even after adjusting the overdrive, it’ll be best to get a monitor that will offer you the response time you require for your movies and games. You can ask your monitor manufacturer for the response time since it is available on the specs. Also, ensure you inquire how to set the overdrive.
How Do You Turn Your Overdrive Settings On or Off or Adjust Them?
How you adjust your overdrive and turn it on or off depends on your display’s settings. First, you should identify how the overdrive is named on your TV, laptop, or monitor. After that, you can look for it from the settings.
As mentioned earlier, if you want to adjust the overdrive settings, you should go to the on-Screen display, where you get the adjustments to your display screen. If your monitor doesn’t have the overdrive settings, you cannot change the response time overdrive to reduce ghosting. When you open the overdrive menu, you’ll get various options ranging from low overdrive settings to the highest.
Should Overdrive be High or Low?
Too much overdrive can introduce inverse ghosting or pixel overshoot, so don’t use it unless you experience excessive smearing in fast-paced games. With higher refresh rate displays, overdrive is necessary for the optimal gaming experience.
How Does the Overdrive Work?
LCD monitors come with tiny crystals that allow light to pass through depending on the voltage applied. When light passes through the crystals, you see the color on the monitor. The crystals are physically present, and they take time to move from one place to the other.
When you use the overdrive setting, it applies a lot more voltage to the crystals. The crystals move from one place to the other faster, making the pixels change colors faster. The process is known as overvolting, and it demonstrates how your monitor’s response time speeds up.
Overdrive vs. FreeSync/G-Sync Technologies
AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync are popular display refresh rate technologies. FreeSync is the cheaper option of the two as it doesn’t require you to purchase additional hardware to use it. On the other hand, G-Sync requires you to purchase NVIDIA’s proprietary hardware, making it more expensive. The two sync technologies help sync your monitor’s refresh rate with the frame rate to ensure a smooth gaming and watching experience.
Most monitors with the G-Sync technology come with a variable overdrive setting. Thus, the variable overdrive setting will change with the computer’s refresh rate.
On the contrary, only a few monitors featuring the FreeSync technology have a variable overdrive setting.
Thus, if your monitor features a 144Hz refresh rate, and you enable the high overdrive settings and the FreeSync causes the refresh rate to drop to 75Hz, you’ll experience an overshooting of the overdrive.
Additionally, some monitors cannot simultaneously run the highest overdrive settings and FreeSync. Only a few monitors can run both the G-Sync and FreeSync technologies and the overdrive settings together.
Which Is the Best Overdrive to Use on Your Monitor?
If yours is a 60Hz display panel or has an IPS panel, there are limited chances that your monitor’s refresh rate is faster than the response time. Thus, you may not experience ghosting when playing your games, even when your overdrive setting is low or off. The best overdrive setting to use on your monitor is normal or medium.
If you choose a higher overdrive, you’ll end up with a pixel overshoot. Excess overdrive creates coronas, which refers to overdrive artifacts.
What Is HDR on Your Monitor?
HDR is a color technology that enables your screen to display various colors. It is best to use an HDR monitor when watching HDR videos.
The monitor displays color tones and nuances and offers more black and light contrasts details. For instance, if you watch a movie, you can clearly view the enemy attacking the hero from the shadows.
Both the screen and your content should be ideal for HDR to display HDR images. The content guides your monitor on the best contrast levels and colors to offer the most realistic images. HDR content comes with all the information embedded in it, and you can use it on a game or video, as long as you have the right screen.
On the other hand, a Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) monitor has a slimmer color range for coloring the images.
Can Overdrive Damage Your Monitor?
The overdrive feature cannot damage your monitor. It helps to push your monitor’s response time to prevent ghosting. It uses higher voltages on pixels to speed up the pixel responses. Although it uses high voltages on the pixels, the monitor still operates at its normal parameters, meaning the overdrive doesn’t cause any damages to the monitor.
On the other hand, if you don’t use the overdrive to push the performance of your monitor, you are likely to end up with ghost images on the screen. The ghost images will interfere with your watching or smooth game-playing experiences.
Do All Monitors Have Overdrive?
Unfortunately, not all displays have overdrive options, thus you can’t modify it for reduced ghosting if your monitor doesn’t have it. When you access the overdrive menu, you’ll see a few overdrive levels to play with. Most of the time, they are referred to as slow, normal, fast, and faster, while some are denoted by numbers.
Final Word On Overdrive on Monitors
The overdrive feature helps boost your monitor’s response time to get rid of ghosting on your screen. Thus, you can enjoy a smooth gaming experience. The overdrive has various names depending on the manufacturer, including response time compensation and response overdrive.
Most monitors come with the overdrive set at normal or medium. You can push the setting to high to increase the response time. However, excess overdrive leads to pixel overshoot. Also, some monitors don’t have an overdrive setting, meaning you cannot eliminate ghosting if the frame rates are low.
1. Does overdrive reduce monitor lifespan?
Can putting Overdrive setting on Strong shorten the life span of a monitor? No, but you’ll perhaps end up with an inverse ghosting that’ll be annoying. The best setting is probably close to the middle overdrive setting.
2. Does overdrive cause input lag?
No, but it can cause pixel overshoot artifacts sometimes referred to as reverse ghosting. It just pushes the pixels to change faster, possibly lowering pixel response time. This does not lower over all system latency or increase it necessarily.
3. What is overdrive in gaming monitor?
Overdrive is a function that allows a gamer to tweak the monitor’s response time on the fly to eliminate the trailing of images on the screen.
4.Can screen ghosting be fixed?
The issue isn’t permanent and can usually be solved by turning off the monitor for a few minutes and then turning it back on.
