Mouse/display question

[Twister]

If I move my mouse around in a circle, pretty fast, I can see many mouse cursors in a circle before they disappear. Is this normal? This is more noticeable on a black background, or a darker background, such as example discord. 

 

What is this mechanism called, is this the refresh rate, the hz, the response time, or an other thing?

 

On my IPS monitor, I can do a full lap (a full complete circle) before my first mouse cursor disappear before reaching it again, so with the right background it would look like the logotype of Olympic games (lol)

 

But on my TN monitor, the mouse cursor fade/disappear much faster, it's not staying on the screen as long when moving the mouse in a circle.

 

This happen to anyone else and what is the mechanism called?

Make sure the mouse trails are turned off, this was a feature old old slow response time LCD panels.

 

But this is probably due to the display taking time to update, or response time. OLEDs are the best currently for this.

Do you have mouse pointer trails turned on?

No it's turned off. So it's the response time. Is response time same as ms? or is response time the hz? 

 

 

 

 

this shows way less mouse cursor , when it was recorded it was a whole circle full of mouse cursor, however it still displays multiple cursors at once.

It's because how fast the pixels use to update completely. It has to do with the response time.

 

It's usually called ghosting.

When it comes to ghosting, usually:

OLED>TN>IPS>VA

But it can vary a lot from monitor to monitor even if its the same type. VA is usually worse when the image is closer to black.

Basically stroboscopic effect or phantom array effect. Easily reproduced on LCD as they are slow. Higher Hz monitor improves this for sure.
