Unable to remove "motion blur"

[corbn]

Hello all,

I've been motivated to start level editing again, but unfortunately it seems my swanky new PC and "gaming monitor" seem to have issues with motion blur in 2d/pixel games.

I am on a Windows 11 PC, with an RTX 3060Ti GPU and Viewsonic OMNI monitor. Try as I might, I can't seem to get rid of this annoying "motion blur". It makes playing a level barely tolerable.

I've fiddled with just about every Doom display setting I can think of (after several hours of searching for solutions online):

• turned off trilinear filtering
• turned off v-sync
• looked for the option in the nVidia control panel to enable ULMB (but couldn't find it - guessing its not an option with my monitor)
• toggled a host of other display settings on/off to no avail

I have a couple of recordings that capture what I am referring to and have added one to my DropBox account:

Not sure if providing links is frowned upon, but if anyone can take a look and perhaps offer some insight into what's happening it would be most appreciated.

Whatever the problem is, is probably something in your monitor itself; it doesn't appear for me in the recorded video. Check to make sure that your monitor is set to the correct refresh rate and that any fancy "gaming features" are not messing with the image. Sometimes "gaming monitors" can include extra settings that can affect output in undesirable ways.

thanks for the feedback! if you wouldn't mind, take a look at this other video, that I hope more accurately shows what I am referring to:

those health bonus bottles just "bleed" all over as I am rotating the camera...

There's no "bleed" in the video. Like wildweasel said, this is most certainly something with your monitor, which will never show up on a screen capture.
Your monitor is probably a VA or IPS panel, both of which exhibit "ghosting" (the former exhibiting far more). You'll have to look through your monitor's options for "anti-ghosting" or "overdrive". It may be under a different name depending on your monitor.

gotcha, thanks as well... and yes, watching back the video and indeed the "ghosting" isnt present... which just makes me look like a crazy person!

but ill dig into the settings for my monitor and see what i can unearth... this is so frustrating though... spending a good deal on a "gaming monitor" only to find out its essential "non-backwards compatible"
