Why do I get nauseous when playing some games?
Hi,
I usually enjoy Apex Legends for a few hours each week without issues, but on weekends I switch to other games and sometimes experience nausea. After finishing Dishonored, I've had this sensation throughout the session. I'm playing on a 23" monitor at 1080p with 60 FPS and maximum settings, using headphones. Could you help figure out what might be causing this?
If your screen has ghosting issues, it might cause discomfort for you.
It shows some ghosting effects, especially noticeable when rapidly switching between tabs with a white background. I'm curious about the reasons behind this issue in certain games.
The pixel response is unrelated to the refresh rate. Most monitors, except the quickest TN panels, will show some ghosting. The field of view might also cause nausea or game motion blur. Some anti-aliasing methods can introduce blur as well—consider adjusting that setting too.
I can verify that the issue was with the Field of View. 90 degrees doesn't work for me.
