Many motion blur factors have existed for a long time in film and video (e.g. slow camera shutter speed).
The emergence of digital video, and HDTV display technologies, introduced many additional factors that now contribute to motion blur.
In many cases, multiple factors can occur at the same time within the entire chain, from the original media or broadcast, all the way to the receiver end.
Motion interpolation also adds input lag, which makes it undesirable for interactive activity such as computers and video games.
Manufacturer Terminology: Laser TV has the potential to eliminate double imaging and motion artifacts by utilizing a scanning architecture similar to the way that a CRT works.
Several displays demonstrated at the CES 2012 have been the first modern high-definition television sets to overcome the motion artifacts by selectively blanking parts of the screen.
