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
Brightness changes can depend on panel behavior and frame pacing. The browser cannot guarantee that the display has entered VRR mode.
What to check next
Keep the same dark scene and brightness setting. Do not interpret ordinary camera banding as definitive VRR flicker.
VRR observation varies browser workload on a dark background. Whether VRR activates depends on operating-system, driver, browser and monitor settings.
Frequently asked questions
Does no visible flicker prove the monitor is flicker-free?
No. It describes this scene, cadence range and viewing condition. Other content or operating ranges can behave differently.
How do I start the VRR Flicker Observation?
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.
