A display apparatus includes a display panel displaying an image and including a gate line and a data line, a gate driver outputting a gate signal to the gate line, a data driver outputting a data signal to the data line, a timing controller outputting a vertical start signal and a gate clock, and a gate clock signal compensator generating an inner clock signal based on the vertical start signal, selecting one of the gate clock signal and the inner clock signal based on a comparison result of a time difference between the gate clock signal and the inner clock signal and a reference time which corresponds to tolerance of jitter of the gate clock signal, increasing a level of the selected clock signal, and outputting the increased clock signal to the gate driver, where the gate driver generates the gate signal based on the increased clock signal.
