Input lag
Input lag is the delay between movement you make
on your input device (in this case, a mouse and
keyboard)andwhatdisplaysonyourscreen.While

video processing instead. These extra milliseconds
may not seem like they matter, but they will make a

DisplayLag maintains a good database of input lag
times, sortable by display type. An input lag of less
than 30 milliseconds is considered good for an HDTV
