Input lag. Signal delay. Pixel response time. Refresh rate. Sample and hold. PWM. LightBoost. G-Sync.
Perhaps you've heard the terms. You might even have a decent idea what they mean. However, can you define them precisely?
Better yet, do you understand how they contribute - and INTER-RELATE - to affect the responsiveness of your monitor?
I couldn't. At least, not as well as I would have liked. Until, at least, I read this long-awaited article by the awesome Adam Simmons (A.K.A. PCM2 of OCUK). With contributions from Mark of...these very boards!
Enjoy!
P.S., for those too lazy-ass useless to read the whole thing, my personal main take-away is - bring on OLED with G-Sync and low persistence support for high framerate scenarios!

Yes, Adam contacted me to verify his article for correctness. He put a lot of effort in this article!

Re: Factors affecting PC monitor responsiveness
Very comprehensive write up
Often used them as a resource over the years to compare displays and its great to see
them get even more down into the nitty gritty of things.

Re: Factors affecting PC monitor responsiveness
Another article I've helped with, is TFTCentral's Motion Blur Reduction Backlights article.Chickenfeed wrote:Very comprehensive write up

I am contacting other sites, to see if they'd be interested in having me as a guest writer (even if I don't post any Blur Buster links). One of the mainstream sites might be involved. With the upcoming expansion in next-generation strobe backlight technologies arriving after LightBoost (e.g. BENQ Z-series, etc), more mainstream coverage is needed about low-persistence LCD's using motion-blur-eliminating backlight technologies.
