What device did you use to test your input lag?
I did not use any device. It's very noticeable in this video, based on that I concluded its not that high.

Well they are all the same, firmware makes no difference, that video doesn't show much except his experience with his mouse movements and windows moving that he can notice but us the viewer can't.

Well if I recorded my self doing the same thing it wouldn't look as bad and laggy.

Lag is his delay moving the mouse and the window moving, something we can't see in that video because it's down to the ms, has nothing to do how crappy the window moving looks

Noo, I know what input lag is.
The only thing you can see in the video is that the delay is more pronounced/noticeable/higher than usual, from the time he moves the mouse and the window starts moving. At least I can see it. An he even said he measured more than 34ms @60Hz (34.73ms, RTINGS 35.1ms). So if that delay in video was 35ms, mine was not as high is what I meant to say. Don't get me wrong, it was still noticeably higher than other 60Hz monitors I've tried.
Maybe the choice of my words confused you since English is not my strongest side. :)

Hello,
I wanted to know if some of the users of the vg259qm have the same trouble like me : in specific games like CSGO and LoL sometimes my monitor downclock to 144hz when I'm on "fullscreen" and "disable Fullscreen optimization" on the ".exe". Is it because this games are awful to deal with new stuff or I miss something ?
I did use CRU monitor with only 280hz in the configuration.
