Display motion blur

Blurriness due to image persistence when tracking objects

Display motion blur

Summary

In modern displays, motion blur is an unwanted artifact caused primarily by:Retinal blur resulting from your eyes continuously tracking discrete movement. While your eyes move, the object you're tracking remains stationary throughout each frame, causing it to "smear". This does not happen in real life where both move continuously. Slow pixel response times, which lead to visible ghosting or smearing.
