Characters flickering and shaking during panning scenes in movies and anime

[OniiChan69]

When I watch content at 23.976fps with panning shots involving still objects/characters on my HP x24ih 144Hz monitor, the characters flicker and shake. For example, try watching this video on a high frame rate display. Interestingly, the video appears perfectly fine on my 60Hz smartphone.

I’ve been struggling to find a solution for this issue over the last 48 hours. I tried a couple of different things like creating a custom resolution of 119.880 Hz using CRU, adjusting response time levels, and experimenting with Madvr/mpv for smooth motion/interpolation during media playback. Unfortunately, none of these efforts yielded positive results. I also tried motion interpolation using SVP, which seems to fix the issue, but I’d prefer not to use it due to the soap opera effect and strain on my GPU.

Does anyone have any suggestions for settings I should modify in my video player configuration, Windows display properties, or Nvidia control panel to eliminate the flickering during panning scenes when watching 23.976fps content on my 144Hz monitor? I want to resolve this without resorting to software-based motion interpolation if possible. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this has been quite frustrating.

I registered just to answer you, I hear you pal, nobody is addressing the elefant in the room on the Internet, which is that gaming monitors have such a low response time that anime, movies and even 60 fps games stutter and look bad.
Quoting from rtings.com:

Quote:A quick response time is helpful for most people using their monitor, especially for gaming. It isn't as important if you're typing all day and there's less movement on the screen, but motion blur can also be noticeable while scrolling through documents or web pages. Like most things related to technology, there are trade-offs when something is too good. A fast response time can lead to stutter as the image stays on the screen for longer than expected, but this isn't so much a concern with monitors, but rather with TVs when you're watching movies.

To reduce the problem you can turn off overdrive, which on HP monitor it's called Response Time in the Image Control menu, also you can try to use the Movie preset of the monitor and see if it helps. Other ignorant people will tell you that the problem is caused because of uneven divisible number of framerate which is just false since 60 Hz monitor don't make 24 fps movies look bad.
