My monitor's on screen menu has some mysterious settings, one being "Video Overdrive". I tried it, but saw no obvious difference. What is it?

The monitor is an HP ZR24w. However, the term seems to be used more widely than for one brand.

The first result in a search for "HP Video Overdrive" returned a manual for one of their models that supports it, listing a description of what it does:

Reduces motion blur in video and fast moving games. Sets the OverDrive feature on or off; the default setting is Off. (select models)

I'd be going out on a limb, but I'm guessing it's their proprietary way of increasing frame rates so motion blur is less perceived by the human eye, likely done by means of optimizing color, anti-aliasing and refresh rates.
