IMPORTANT:
This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Ghosting increases on monitor after plugging in phone charger, why ?
Plugging in the Turbo charger for my phone, in my power strip, increases the ghosting on my monitor by quite a noticeable amount.
it happens every time that i do it.
what would the cause for this be ?

Can you record a video, for example, a UFO ghosting test?

Obviously, the charger creates interference, like any other impulse device. The power supply is rather weak and is not able to protect the monitor panel from interference from the outlet.

It might sound dumb, but can one of these new fancy "dimmer switch LED chandeliers" be causing some input lag? These are coming with remote control too.

Answer is , yes it can
Just saying: its the circut in the switch that connected to your home circut could cause bad stuff , not the lamb itself
For what it looks like: ( or google "dimmer light switch inside")
The issue people complaining will not be created by these dimmer switches , but it could improve your gaming/lag (did mine) , You gotta try to disambling it from circut/wall
If you know nothing about electricty , please research how to not get electrocuted (felt responsible to write that)

Yeah thanks lol, I indeed know close to nothing when it comes to electricity so I'm not even touching thatamorou wrote: β01 Oct 2023, 14:28Not knowing is never dumbIserverthefirelord wrote: β01 Oct 2023, 12:32It might sound dumb, but can one of these new fancy "dimmer switch LED chandeliers" be causing some input lag?

Well you could construct entire towns electricity system with 0 practice and good researchIserverthefirelord wrote: β02 Oct 2023, 05:37Yeah thanks lol, I indeed know close to nothing when it comes to electricity so I'm not even touching thatamorou wrote: β01 Oct 2023, 14:28Not knowing is never dumbIserverthefirelord wrote: β01 Oct 2023, 12:32It might sound dumb, but can one of these new fancy "dimmer switch LED chandeliers" be causing some input lag?

If you know nothing about electricty , please research how to not get electrocuted (felt responsible to write that)especially when it's not my apartment I'm living in. But that lamp is right above my PC so I thought maybe it's causing some interference, it's also "buggy" turning on and off sometimes by it's own, might call an electrician or smth. Also moving PC to other area far away from that lamp improved gaming a bit but that might be a placebo.
As I said switch's circut will cause the erratic stuff and not via air but via cables.
You can remove it from circut/wall and plug it later and no one will notice
But if you rich I recommend calling an electrican to remove it, so you can watch him. You never know who you are speaking online , its very easy but you can die (unlikely but possible) if you contact live wire.
