A display device comprises a display panel and a timing controller. The timing controller supplies gate timing signals to a gate driver as a sequence of clock pulses that sequentially select different ones of the display lines for receiving the data signals during the vertical active periods and for receiving a sensing signal during the vertical blanking intervals. The clock pulses have a first timing during the vertical active periods and the clock pulses have a second timing during the vertical blanking intervals in which the second timing is different than the first timing.
