Input lag & new plasma & old Dell Monitor and is it really going to matter?

[scootermaster]

Cliffs:
1). Was waiting for the shootout/ZT60. I am no longer considering it.
2). Was about to pull the trigger on the F8500, but there's input lag.
3). Could potentially get a VT60, but it might be more expensive.
4). I also have a relatively bright room (although the only thing I watch during the day is sports)
5). I almost (like 99%) currently game online, with MW2 and sports games (when I get a new panel, I will probably introduce emu/old school games as well). I normally do this on a Dell 2408FPW. This is a ridiculously laggy panel, apparently. Now that I've started to notice, I think I notice. But perhaps I don't.


QUESTION: If I didn't notice on the 2408, will I notice on the F8500? And then, if I don't notice on the F8500, should I just save money and get the ST60 to tide me over until OLED/4K/I get a projector? Or should I get the VT60, and deal with the lack of brightness, since who cares what "quality" Sunday football is, and everything else will be watched at night?

Thanks

i don't think you will notice it unless you play competitive street fighter , but if you do you could always send it back

personally id get the ZT60, it gets brighter vs the VT while maintaining black level if you were spending in that range.

else just get the ST but you may not like it if you have direct light on it
