Asus VG248QE VS Dell S2716DG
Posted: 19 Jun 2018, 16:38
HI All,
Input lag for the most part is the only factor I really care about when coming to a gaming monitor. Everyone knows the VG248QE is one of the fastest gaming monitors around, but I wanted to upgrade to a 27" @ 2k w/ at least 144hz. I read a lot of good things about the Dell S2716DG in regards to input lag (TFTCENTRAL States 4.25ms total lag) and came across a great deal so I picked one up.
I wanted to do an input lag test of my own to really see what the difference would be between two monitors so I set them both up in clone mode @ 144hz and started snapping pictures. I only have my cell phone available atm (Galaxy s7 EDGE). At first all the results were identical, so I lowered my shutter speed down to 1/240000, and the mass majority of results were identical except for a few here and there showing a 10ms difference between the two (The dell showing less milliseconds, the asus showing more (Faster)).
What does this mean exactly? Is the Dell S2716DG basically the same speed in regards to input lag or is it noticeably slower? I'm not convinced the Dell S2716DG is as fast as my asus but I can't be sure by only playing pubg and arena shooters and doing the 'feel' test. I fear the Dell is 10ms slower than my asus and if that's the case I'd return the dell right away.
Any thoughts on this?
Any recommendations on the absolute fastest 27" 2k monitor, etc?
I thank you all in advance!
