LCD monitors and input lag

[Hamltnblue]

I seem to miss my shots because of monitor lag.  .  Has nothing to do with beer, wife nag, dog peeing on leg etc.
My 24 inch LG has great color, 2 ms response and passes with high end games like Far Cry2 and Arma 2.  AHII graphic wise looks like an 80's game against them and can't be used as a reference in my opinion. Also I find that once flying and fighting, the graphic element is less important as long as there isn't a stuttering issue.

^not sure you're getting this, have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_lag.


This is an interesting article:

suggests that you should have VSYNC ON only if the framerate never drops under 60, and triple buffering always OFF. Also got me wondering how much latency there is from my X52, uses USB2 so could be very low.

they have also reviewed the Iolair MB24W, which has an input latency of .... 0!

Impressively it had some negative latency results, ie overall latency was lower than the CRT, presumably due to DAC processing.
