What is input lag?

Morning all,

Just a quick question, what is input lag? now i assume that its a delay, due to processing or whatever, between a movement of the mouse and the movement of the cursor on the screen?

The reason i ask, is that when i was reading up on monitors a few years ago there was never any mention of input lag. Response time, Backlight bleed, Viewing angles and Panel Technology (TN, MVA etc) were all the topic of conversation.

So... Was input lag not a problem back then? or did we just not know about it?

Thanks

Andy

yeah it was the same for me, when i bought my first lcd years ago, i learnt loads, and trawaled the forum. it paid off tho, as i dont regret the decision at all, i use 2x 19" samsung 971p monitors, that are fantastic... wouldnt mind a non tn 24" tho...
