How can I disable "Low input lag" mode on my AOC 24G2U?

[chawndi]

I got my new monitor today, an AOC 24G2U. I have an issue with whenever I play games it has an intense motion blur I can't get rid of (this being from the monitor im assuming it's from the low input lag mode built in)

 

If it's not the low input lag mode,

 

Does anyone know a fix around this?

 

Specs;

i7 9700K

GTX 980ti

32gb gskill trident z

 

any help is appreciated :)

Have you turned off motion blur on the games you are playing?  Also what is the G2G latency?  (grey to grey) as a good gaming monitor (lower is better) you want 1-5ms G2G.  Its how long it takes a color to go from grey then through all the other colors back to grey, which creates ghosting (are you sure its not ghosting, instead of motion blur?) if its a high G2G time.  I.E. I didn't buy a 1440p monitor on sale for $114 shipped cause it was 14ms G2G, good for youtube, NOT good for gaming.

So input lag has nothing to do with blurring.

 

Input lag is the name for the time it takes for an input to be sent from the the input device to the screen. So like clicking ur mouse to fire a gun, and it happening on the screen.

 

Blurring is the result of Pixel response time. For the most part this cant be changed, its based on the specs of the panel itself, however 'overdrive' can be used to help reduce it IF the monitor in question has overdrive options built in. However it may be called something other than overdrive as manufacturers like to slap marketing names on it.

 

Do note however that even overdrive wont remove blurring entirely if the monitor has a very slow pixel resposne time ot begin with, overdrive can also cause overshoot if set to high which can look even worse than the 'normal' blurring.

 

According to the linked review below the monitor u have does have 'overdrive', when using it at 144hz u should set it to 'strong', additionally u can activate MBR on the monitor which apparently goes up to 20, though try 15 first, this can make the image even crisper during motion however will introduce strobe crosstalk (duplicate image trail) ..the higher the setting the sharper the image but the more noticeable the duplicate will be in motion.

 

Adjust the overdrive and MBR settings to ur liking.

make sure u understand that if u use freesync and do not keep FPS near 144hz, then ur settings for blur reduction may not be ideal at lower FPS/frequency. As the FPS drops to 120, 100 down to 60hz for example, then overdrive at 'strong' and MBR at 15 or what ever u set it at will likely not be the best settings to use, the 'strong' overdrive setting will likely cause significant overshoot artifacts at anything other than 144hz.

I beleve the monitor u have does have overdrive, when using it at 144hz u should set it to strong, additional u can activate MBR on the monitor which apparantly goes up to 20, this can make the image even crisper during motion however will introduce some strobe crosstalk (duplicate image trail) ..the higher the setting the sharper the image but them ore noticable the duplicate will be in motion.

This is what the monitor looks like whilst moving left to right ingame.

 

This never happened on my other monitor (BenQ XL2411Z)

 

As you can see, the motion blur issue and even some screen tearing.

Does ur mouse cursor do the same when on the windows desktop .. do folder windows do it ..or even moving around ur browser window ?

try resetting ur display driver. use the below shortcut

 

Win+Ctrl+Shift+B

 

if that fails to solve it.. i would suggest u try a different input device, like a console ..see if its the monitor itself .. if it is ..i would say its defective.

We did it and seems like nothing changed besides the screen tearing gone. The extreme motion blur or whatever it is is still here.

See if the MBR setting is currently on 20 ..if it is ..try setting it to 0.

 

Otherwise like i said, try it on a console or something see if it still acts the same.

Tried it on HDMI and so on and it persisted to continue.
