Which 24" LCD has the lowest input lag?

I've recently done a fair bit of research into 24" screens and found a lot of complaints about the latest Dell offerings. I ended up going for the BenQ FP241VW and its fantastic - no lag problems of any kind at all, and I do a lot of FPS gaming. OCUK have a great offer on this screen atm.
 
Seems there's a trade off, really fast update (TN) or better picture (VA,IPS).
So for the fastest panel youre probably looking at one of the cheaper ones, which is lucky.
 
I use a Hyundai W240D which can be had for £340 here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-054-HY

Yes it's a TN but i haven't had any viewing angle related issues at all. It is a touch darker at the bottom of the screen if you really try to see it but it certainly doesn't effect any games i play.

The stand is good with decent height adjustment... it even rotates 90 degrees.

As for input lag i would say that it is as good as my old Samsung 226BW (a very highly recommended 22" gaming tft) also ghosting is barely noticeable. There's a touch but only very faint and only if you look close.

Finally i'll add that the scaling on the screen is some of the best i've seen - non native res' are something i'd happily use. Not something that could be said of my old Samusung.

The OcUK/Digimate L2442WD has very little input lag (especially for a non TN), can't remember exactly but it's less than one frame average, check out the long thread.

Course that's pretty dependent on the framerate ;) If you're getting 30fps, that's 33ms input lag...

Hehe :) One frame of the screen not the game :)

Here's the info I was talking about - the Iolair MB24W is the same as the OcUK L2442WD and the Yaraku 24", and apparently has zero input lag versus a CRT -

Also seems to have minimal ghosting, apparently less than a 2ms TN according to this -

If I were getting a 24" it would have to be this, plus you avoid TN viewing angles, and the price is excellent, but of course you may have to return a few to get a good one since it's a budget brand (Digimate) as the big thread about it in this forum shows.
 
Iolair MB24W is also the famous Ocuk 24" screen ?

Christ that screen has so many clone names and other model/names!

As it stands still looks like the best choice that screen where price/performance is concerned.
 
Hmm, it does look nice, but there's too many variables for my liking. The fact that people are getting different panels on the same screen - plus the review link says the screen has HDCP which the OCUK digimate doesn't...

Don't get my wrong, I've umm'ed and ahh'ed for about 3 months over the digimate and other PVA's. At the end of the day, the only PVA under £400 (exc VAT) with decent input lag I found was the BenQ (which had 33ms lag on the standard version and 27 on the VW for a £100 premium).

Interestingly the french review doesn't actually have photos of the input lag, although they have put in a graph of the results, it leaves me slightly sceptical to what they were comparing it...
 
Take a look around for the Yuraku YV24WBH1 if you want the screen with th lowest input lag and HDCP, which the DGM 24" lacks.
