This review has no info at all when it comes to input delay vs a CRT. All he is referring to in the review is repose time and very poorly I might add.

Check TFTCentrals review he always covers response time (with pictures demoing how much ghosting a monitor has) and input delay (vs a CRT).

Hmm, just because the input lag is the lowest they have tested to date does not mean that it is incorrect. If you are going to cast doubt on the reviews they do than you should buy post your own results or find another review that actually does input lag testing vs a CRT who have tested the monitor too so we can confirm if the results are correct or if a mistake has been made.

All I know that I purchased my most recent monitor using their reviews and it served me well. My own input lag testing on the LG IPS231P found it to have almost the same amount of input lag as they reported in their review.

I’m sure as more people on SRK buy the Dell U2312HM they will report back with their findings. :slight_smile:

besides low input lag, should 120Hz matter when buying a monitor just for console gaming? read somewhere that hdmi can only go 60Hz

123

My u2312hm should be here Friday so I’ll post results during the weekend if I have time.

124

Hdmi can go over 60hz, HDMI is just a cable which carries data no different to dvi and dvi has been doing 120hz since the days of crt. Console games though are either 30fps or 60, that’s what the developers code them to run at. 120hz is best for PC gaming with Vsync off.

125

I’m glad this thread was made. The other thread was filled with people saying they’d do tests and never following through and others who kept talking about how their TV/monitor feels lagless. The fact that verified displays are being added to the first post is the icing on the cake. I’ve been searching for some time so if anyone has a model that meets my criteria let me know. I want a 32" TV with minimal lag. A TV that is still easily accessible in the US.

126

Just so I get this right because things tend to fly over my head a lot lol, I shouldnt bother buying a 120hz monitor if its strictly for console gaming? Thanks for the help

127

You never know next gen consoles may all be 120 though so you could future proof yourself

128

Would a 120hz screen cut down on potential motion blur or is that totally a function of response time? In any case, last time Iooked into this 120hz screen seemed to add additional input lag. Is that still the case nowadays?

129

Refer to the BenQ listed in the first post.

130

There’s only one unit in the entire first post that’s listed at 120hz. No enough to prove the trend has been reversed.

131

I wasn’t trying to be smart toward you or prove a point I was just pointing one out in case you were actually looking for one.

132

Sorry, tone is really hard to determine online.

133

I try to keep it short and to the point because i post from my phone most of the time

134

Can’t wait to see some user opinions on the U2312HM!

135

Would 3D capability affect input lag? The reason I ask is because my favorite monitor (alienware optx AW2310 aka other Evo monitor) has been discontinued and i want to get another monitor like this one. the new version has 3D and adds 120Hz. it also says that it has low input in DVI mode only. wouldn’t the low input be the same with HDMI connection? Sorry for the noob question, not tech savvy at all.

136

Looking at the Benq I’d assume no but its any ones guess between the way different manufactures do things, I wanna hear more about the Dell.

137

If you connect a console via HDMI to a monitor that only has a display port via an HDMI to DP cable, will that introduce any extra lag?

138

Nope, because DisplayPort natively supports HDMI. The cable is a straight connection, no conversion is involved.

139

Are the tests that Digital Versus does accurate? For some reason their numbers on all of the monitors I look at for input lag are higher or sometimes considerably higher than what is listed on the first post of this “database”

140

anyone tried this 27" asus yet? its on sale.

also I dont necessarily care too much about fighting game lag(I barely play anything now). just wondering if a 27" monitor is good for everyday computer use? dont wanna lose my eye sight or something…:eek:

figured 27" 1080p HD cant be so bad. right now I am on a samsung 1680x1050. this monitor is ok and all but its been 3 years. time for an upgrade. since I got a profound badness computer now(lol)
