Motion blur in LCD TV vs monitor

[ChaoZ]

Why is there significantly more motion blur in LCD TVs than LCD monitors. I don't notice any blurring at all on my Dell monitor. The Dell also has a response rate of 16ms vs. the 6ms on my TV.

Are you noticing blur on standard def TV or HD stuff (or both)? SD channels blur like crazy on my TV as well, but it's not the screen itself it's the scaler and TV signal that's lacking. Watching movies, playing my 360, and watching HD football all look great with no noticeable blur.

Both. I haven't tested any Blu-Ray movies yet.

I notice more on my 22" Dell LCD than I do any any LCD I've watched.

Now that I think about it, it's really only noticeable when I'm watching NBC. When I see a person's face move, it's like the colors don't quite catch up fast enough. Not sure if it has anything to do with it broadcasting in 1080i.

Heya,

Garbage in, Garbage out.

If the input signal is crap, the output will be crap.

It's that simple.

Feed it high quality input and watch that `problem' not exist.

Very best,

It's compression that you are seeing.

Pretty much. 1080i is better for still pictures, but not quite as good for motion.

I'm having a blur or 'ghosting' problem as well on my Samsung LN32A330. It's connected to a PS3 through HDMI, which is set to the tv's native resolution of 720p. I've been looking around for a while now and can't seem to find any answers. I have a monster HDMI cable connected from the PS3 to the set, so I know it shouldn't be the issue. (I have also tested with a cheaper HDMI cable with the same results.)

I've tweaked the settings in the TV and haven't found anything to help very much. Do you guys have any ideas? Could it be my PS3?
