13. RESPONSE TIME

This test primarily serves to compare the response times of two monitors. Start by selecting a speed that creates clear streaks on the rectangles. However, you should still be able to clearly follow the rectangles visually. Then vary the distance between the rectangles until the lower edge (streak) of the one on the right no longer overlaps the lower edge of the one on the left. The smaller the distance, the shorter the response time. When comparing several monitors, select the same speed.

You can also use this test to recognize the effects of your monitor’s various setting options, such as overdrive, refresh rates and blur reduction.
