Input lag has nothing to do with the panel type
I am aware of this, my point is that IPS panels typically have a higher input lag and response time than TN screens which is why gamers prefer TN. You saying "The input lag is the same as my IPS" is not a good thing.
Like I say, it's not a big issue and it's manageable, I'm just warning other gamers that the input lag IS noticeable if you're used to faster.
If you're particularly sensitive to it and it matters to you, it's something to bare in mind when making your purchase.
Personally, for me the amount of lag wasn't the main issue, it wasn't great but it was certainly fine, I would have put up with that if the rest of the screens features had been great or even just ok.
Yes, I did all the tests at lagom, banding was off the chart. On my panasonic TV, there is no banding at all, on my 245b there is very very very slight even banding across the board and you have to really lean forward to see it. The 950 was atrocious, massive inconsistent banding across the whole of the test.
Like I say, I may have had a bad panel, overclockers refused to replace it so I'll never know.
I just post this as when people post "issues" with items they tend to exaggerate the severity.
Well, that's the thing, I promise that I have no vested interest either way, I am totally honest in what I say. I am not exaggerating, I am saying the input lag is noticeable but manageable.
The banding and screen uniformity on the other hand were very bad.
When you've paid that much money for something, you're going to be letting some stuff slide and kidding yourself that certain things are better than they really are. So if anything, it's more likely that
you would be bias than me. That's why you have to take a lot of user reviews with a pinch of salt, they're not experts and they're going to be exaggerating the good points of the product.
I have nothing to gain from bad mouthing this monitor, I'm not trying to kid myself that it's good to justify my purchase just as I'm not kidding myself it's bad to justify returning it. I was really looking forward to it, I promised a few people in this thread that I would honest when I got it either way. One guy was worried about the reflective screen, it is very very reflective. A few people were worried about input lag, it's fine, not great, but fine.
My advice is that the monitor is bad in almost every respect and that people should steer well clear. I am aware that almost everyone else has had totally positive things to say about it which does make me think I've been unlucky yet again and gotten a bad apple
Because if it doesen't work I'll have to buy another GTX 570 with a Displayport and run it in SLI.
