Visual Annoyance and User Acceptance of LCD Motion-Blur

It has been recognized for some time now that LCD displays will introduce blur when showing moving objects or moving images. Common motion-blur measurement methods permit to picture the blurred profile of an edge moving with a constant velocity. A normalized blurred edge width is then measured for several gray-to-gray transitions to give a motion-blur score of the display under test. However, these objective measurements are partly based on the behavior of the human visual system and it is an open question how well they correlate with subjective experience of observers. In this study, we develop a subjective experiment in order to assess the annoyance and the acceptance of motion-blur. Results are given and compare with measurements data.
