Input lag. Signal delay. Pixel response time. Refresh rate. Sample and hold. PWM. LightBoost. G-Sync.
Perhaps you've heard the terms. You might even have a decent idea what they mean. However, can you define them precisely?
Better yet, do you understand how they contribute - and INTER-RELATE - to affect the responsiveness of your monitor?
I couldn't. At least, not as well as I would have liked. Until, at least, I read this long-awaited article by the awesome Adam Simmons (A.K.A. PCM2 of OCUK). With contributions from Mark of BlurBusters fame. Enjoy!
P.S., for those too lazy-ass useless to read the whole thing, my personal main take-away is - bring on OLED with G-Sync and low persistence support for high framerate scenarios!
