Panning shots in movies look jittery on my 144hz monitor. Any tips to reduce this?

Hi, I have an Asus VG249Q monitor running at 144hz and connected via DP to graphics card. When there is a panning shot in a 24fps content (like a movie), objects look jittery and twitching and it causes me motion sickness. What do you think causes this and is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks!

I use SVP for frame interpolation. It can be used with downloaded or streaming media. I haven't really tried it with live action stuff mainly animated. Interpolation comes with its own artifacts just so you know.

If it's the irregularity that bothers you switch the display output to 24Hz when watching 24fps content.

It's 24FPS, it will always look jittery and terrible. Why anyone would prefer it baffles me.

 

That said, I use Kodi to automatically adjust my TVs refresh rate to match the FPS of the film/show, and I use frame interpolation on a low-ish setting to smooth out the most jittery scenes while avoiding unwanted artifacts. So I agree with the comments above.

 

Edit:

Also, the content may not be 24FPS, but 23.976FPS. 24FPS goes neatly into 144Hz(6 times), but 23.976 does not. You might try setting your monitor to:

23.976 * 6 = 143.856Hz.

The stutter is because of the pixel response times. Old displays with slow response times "blur" the stuttering away but modern fast displays make it more apparent. Even my C9 OLED TV's which is basically meant for movie watching has stuttering when watching 24fps content. I don't understand why this stuttery mess ever got to be the standard. I happily use the integrated interpolation that makes content play back at 120fps on my TV, but i havent heard of any monitor that natively supports motion interpolation. The introduced artifacts are a very small downside in comparison to being able to play anything at 120Hz no matter what the source material is.

Thank you for answering, but is there anything I can do about it? I experience this even in video games, especially when frame rate drops, and I am an avid gamer. I somehow thought that this monitor would help, but instead it even amplifies the problem because of fast pixel response time.

Other than using software-based motion interpolation or maybe turning down your pixel overdrive in your monitors OSD (making them slower) there is not much you can do.
