Speaking of which what is the difference between latency and input lag ? I noticed these days people are hardly talking about black to white latency, but are more talkative about input lag
Well, most monitors have good enough responsetime, so it's not a concern anymore. Input lag on the other hand, is a big problem. The difference between them is that response time got to do with how fast a pixel can go on, off, and on again. Depending on how fast the response time is, the less ghosting/ afterglow you will see. This is important to get a sharp picture in fast movement. Input lag is simply how much delayed the signal to the screen is. Not only has the screen input lag, you have to take into account the input lag of the graphics card, mouse and hz of the screen. At 60hz, the screen takes 16ms to display the image.
