Screen Tearing. (V-Sync)

Woah left this thread for a day and come back to loads of replies!

Anyway I have to game 24/7 with V-Sync. No matter what. There's only ever been one or two games I've never had to enable v-sync for.

Could it be my monitor causing this? Not refreshing fast enough?
 
Correct me I am wrong, but isn't tear when a mismatch in GPU outputted frames and monitor frequency (60Hz) resulting in the monitor displaying half a frame on one half of the screen and a different frame on the other, resulting in what looks with someone cut through the screen (tear) with a pair of scissors then put them out of alignment? I hate it v-sync does not cut the mustard, hopefully something like G-sync will... (in other words high FPS games like L4D2 i get tearing no matter what, limiting to 60fps makes it better but no perfect)

Anyway, other things cause stutter effects as well, but I don't usually see tearing if the frame rate is below the monitor's refresh rate.

I don't have a lot of pc games that I play at the moment, however the only game I've noticed input lag on was fable 3 it was like mud lol. Getting a 120 Hz monitor solved my bf 4 tearing issue.
 
I also thought screen tearing is caused when the GPU is pushing out more frames than the monitor can handle. Which is why when vsync is enabled it caps it to the monitors maximum Hz. Personally i have always played with Adaptive Vsync enabled not only to reduce tearing but to keep my GPU at nice temps constantly.
