A display device and a method of controlling a gate driving circuit thereof are discussed. The display device includes a display panel, first and second gate driving circuits which are respectively disposed on both sides of the display panel, and a timing controller. The timing controller controls the first and second gate driving circuits in conformity with a first shift mode, compares carry signals received from the first and second gate driving circuits, and controls the first and second gate driving circuits in conformity with a second shift mode when a time interval between the carry signals is greater than a previously determined reference value.
