A liquid crystal display is provided. The display includes: a data driver for outputting image signals; a gate driver for sequentially outputting scanning signals; a liquid crystal panel including a switching element for controlling the image signal in response to the scanning signal, a liquid crystal capacitor driven by a voltage difference between the image signal and a common electrode voltage, and a storage capacitor for accumulating the charge of image signal when the switching element is on, and applying the accumulated image signal to the liquid crystal capacitor when the switching element is turned off; a distortion detector for detecting the common electrode voltage applied to the liquid crystal capacitor and outputting a common electrode distortion voltage; and an offset voltage generator for outputting an offset voltage to increase a rate of charge of the storage capacitor based on the common electrode distortion voltage.
