input lag

[sybaris]

I see a lot of posts debating and quibbling over input lag. I may be wrong but that suggests to me, the time taken from the source of the picture processing it and pushing it out on to the screen.

Is that something that is really all that noticeable? if so how much is unacceptable? How many milliseconds = frustration or a sub standard experience?

I ask this because I am after a new screen and the more I research, the more arguments I come across. It is very off putting and wondering what compromises to make would be better than any other compromise. Input lag, back-light bleed, response times, resolutions, panel type, frequency, inputs, price. The list goes on. Where do we draw the line and stop analysing and just go with it?

Interesting article but is squeezing the last millisecond out so important?
Do we spend too much time and effort obsessing over something that may not be visible to the naked eye or beyond our own reaction times?

Just thought I would throw it out there.
