A few questions about monitors input lag.

Post by LoudCallum » 14 Oct 2014, 22:24

Hi,
I have been reading up about monitors for the past couple of weeks to find out which one would suit my play style, and think a low input lag monitor would be best for me. But I am unsure about some questions;
-After reading Best Twitch-Type Gaming LCD? I think the best monitors are the BenQ XL2420Z and the Asus VG248QE for low input lag, does any monitor have an input lag advantage over the other?
-Does the new ROG SWIFT PG278Q have an input lag advantage over the BenQ XL2420Z and the Asus VG248QE?
-And would the 240Hz Non-interpolated zero-buffer display made last year have the best input lag compared to these?
Thank you for your help
-Loud

Yes.

They have about the same amount of input lag.
If I remember correctly, the Asus one had a very small advantage on the tests I've read.

Thanks, appreciate that

Also do you have a link of the tests? I thought they would be the same because of the shared panel but I suppose there could always be a software difference.

In fact, if anybody knows, if a monitor has less than 2 frames of input lag (16ms if i remember) does it matter what the actual input lag is since it will always be a frame after the gpu?
