Browser requirement
Visible browser animation

How it works and what the result means
Trailing images are observed visually. The page cannot measure gray-to-gray panel response time or force the display into variable-refresh-rate mode.
Reading the result
Trails and bright inverse trails are visual observations. The animation cannot calculate physical gray-to-gray response time.
What to check next
Use a stable refresh mode. Camera exposure and pursuit technique can introduce artifacts into recorded comparisons.
VRR observation varies browser workload on a dark background. Whether VRR activates depends on operating-system, driver, browser and monitor settings.
Frequently asked questions
Can the page choose the best overdrive setting?
It provides a repeatable moving pattern. You judge the balance between ordinary trailing and overshoot on your own panel and refresh mode.
How do I start the Monitor Ghosting Test?
Start the moving pattern and follow it with your eyes. Compare speeds or record with a camera. Stop the animation when finished.
Does this tool require a download or an account?
No. Open the interactive tool above in a modern browser. The instructions and explanations are available even with JavaScript disabled; running a test needs JavaScript.
Why can two attempts give different results?
Power settings, background tasks, browser scheduling, operating-system input processing and device settings affect measurements. Compare repeated attempts with identical settings rather than the single highest score.
