Input Lag when using 240hz screens in 120hz mode
Posted: 10 Jan 2021, 10:37
Hello everyone,
i do have two 240hz screens for pc gaming:
The AW2518hf (240hz, 1080p)
The Omen x 27 (240hz 1440p)
For Pc gaming both have really low response time and input lag, however i want to use one of those monitors for my xbox series s and was wondering which of the two does have lower input lag when running in 120hz mode?
Since Chief mentioned that some 240hz screens can have quite a bit of input lag when not running in 240hz mode.
I saw the rtings input lag test for my omen x27 and the input lag @60hz was around 15ms if i remember correctly. For my AW2518hf i didn't find any specific tests on rtings, however newer models of the same brand (AW2521HF) seem to have below 10ms when running @60hz.
So how bad is the input lag really on those screens? I don't really want to buy a 144hz screen just for the series s.
Also what can i potentially do on my side to reduce input lag when playing on the series s? Even if the input delay is worse in 120hz mode, how much worse is it compared to a 144hz screen?
