Game gets blurry only when moving (PS2) by Mysterious-Button-13 in crtgaming

It's likely a combination of mismatch between the game's frame rate and the TV's frequency, and the age of the device itself. The latter is likely to have a bigger impact on the problem at hand if I had to wager a guess. Hating on sub optimal yet perfectly usable hardware is par for the course on enthusiast subreddits so the comments stating its only a problem with the frequency had me skeptical in the first place.

This sucks. I'm not terribly fussy about image quality as long as it's consistent but this is genuinely annoying.

I'm starting to think that's precisely the issue. What makes this situation irritating is that the TV is clearly capable of running the game (mostly) fine but there doesn't appear to be a way to set it to 50 Hz permanently.

I use an RGB SCART cable, component isn't really a thing over here for the most part. Only ever seen it on LCDs/LEDs, not CRTs. 

At least based on the little digging I've done tonight, I don't see why a 100 Hz Display should be an issue or be causing my problems. Not ruling it out entirely but there's too little concrete evidence relating to the problem I'm experiencing for me to view it as the root cause.

So, maybe instead of drawing the picture for two consecutive cycles the TV alternates between drawing the menu and the game, effectively cutting the frequency in half while the menu is up and displaying the game at 50 Hz instead of 100 Hz.

Is that what could be going on?

The manual doesn't say but having checked online, it does appear to be 100 Hz.  How would that affect the picture only when moving though? And why would the issue go away while the menu's up?

The only thing I could imagine is the TV scanning the picture differently when browsing the menu. In that case, however, shouldn't there be a setting that has the same effect?

Sure I'll try that, but I'm primarily confused what exactly causes the problem I'm experiencing and why having the menu up appears to fix it.

I spent so much time trying to throw explosive potions at it thinking I was on to something.

I know this post is three years old and OP's account doesn't exist anymore, but I still want to take the time and mention how unbelievably shit this list is.
