A display device includes gate lines, data lines, pixels connected to the gate lines and data lines, a data driver, a gate driver, and a signal controller for controlling the data driver and gate driver. A method for driving the display device includes: compressing, by the signal controller, vertical resolution of input image data of each frame by k or receiving by the signal controller the compressed input image data; processing by the signal controller the compressed input image data to generate output image data; generating, by the data driver, data voltages based on the output image data and applying the data voltages to the data lines; and applying, by the gate driver, gate-on voltage pulses concurrently to k neighboring gate lines corresponding to the applied data voltages. Starting times of the gate-on voltage pulses of at least two of the k neighboring gate lines are different from each other.
