Yes but I guess it's less than 1 ms. You will never notice.

+1, i want to know this too :D

Cuz i testing now all of connections, and idk is placebo effect or not, but with hdmi i've got better picture quality than in others (maybe placebo) and with VGA i feel more responsive (maybe placebo too).

Is VGA a fastest? With least amount of input lag?

It could affect input lag, but whether it DOES depends on the monitor, so I'd rather not speculate. You can usually see what interface was used when reviewers publish input lag tests though.

VGA would be fastest...if you used it with a CRT, but an LCD has to convert it back to digital anyway, so probably not.
