Long time lurker of this forum, now first time poster.. first off thanks for all the amazing info i can find here!
I did scan the forum before posting but was not able to find a topic with this specific issue, but if im double posting please direct me
Ok so, i own a lg 24gm77 monitor, and ever since i bought it ( already a while ago ) i felt like it causes a lot of input lag, especially so when using lower/stretched
resolutions, which i used in the past either to get a game fps to my refreshrate or because of how stretched resolution was comfortable to play with..
However, recently i started a quest for getting as little input lag as possible, and i kept getting such weird and inconsistent results..
after a lot of google searches, contacting LG multiple times only to keep getting ignored, reading the manual multiple times and ofc reading stuff here on the forum i found a thread somewhere on reddit where a guy who has the same monitor said that after he made a custom resolution of 1920x1080 at 143 hz instead of 144, he experienced a huge difference, so i tried this and he is right, the difference is pretty noticeable, like suddenly my mouse lost weight and is much more responsive...
I was wondering if someone here could shed some light on this issue, and perhaps how to improve it further.. also i wonder if there is a way to set this as my pc's native setting because i noticed some games force it back to 144hz again, thus bringing back that sluggish feeling and i had to change it in the config.
also in terms of scaling, what does this mean? can i scale down to lower resolutions on 143hz and always keep this nice feeling or could it be that on other then native resolutions this would have a very different effect?
currently i have it set as such:
is this optimal or should i change other things such as amount of pixels, front porch etc to get even better results? ( either on native or when i'd choose to use lower/stretched resolutions and full screen setting instead of no scaling)
one of my friends laughed at me when i said going down 1hz reduced my lag so much it made me a better player by significant margins but i am so convinced that there is no placebo effect here, eventho i technically understand how and why this makes such a difference.
is it perhaps just a shortcoming of this specific monitor?
ok and then my last question, apart from input lag from monitor/gpu i have also changed my network settings a lot, which has reduced my fps somewhat ( disabled some offloading settings, wont get into it now) and as a result of lower lag, more responsive internet and lower fps my tearing, even with fps 20 or more frames above the refreshrate, seems to have gotten worse significantly, might this also be related to my custom resolution or is this simply the downside of having lower fps combined with less input lag?
( i mean i still take the extra tearing over the lag anyday but if i can reduce it somehow someway i would
)i play with settings as competitive as possible with my rig
my rig:
1070 FTW gpu without any OC enabled, i did raise the powerlimit and made custom fan profile.
My cpu is overclocked @4.3 ghz tho
any help / input (without lag haha ) would be greatly appreciated!
