Which 24 or higher for CS Source

I am confused one review saying that other that, than somebody mention that he got this monitor and there is no input lag. So generally there are so many mixed information and i cant decide. Please help me to decide which monitor would be the best option. THX

I bought a 2405FPW and that has relatively high response time and some noticable input lag, I still raped everyone on CS and CSS though

So DELL is generally ok for FPS? Or should i avoid certain models?

If the monitor is mainly for cs source you have only a few choices.

A crt, or the samsung / viewsonic 120hz lcd's. - all these have very fast response times too. Being stuck at a max of 60fps is not a option for any serious fps player.

Both the samsung and viewsonic are 22" and this is currently the max for 120hz screens at the moment.

Nah it doesnt. It doesnt really make much difference at all once your over yoru refresh rate of your monitor.

i find when i have vsync on in l4d (triple buffer) i get mouse lag, as soon as i turned it off no more mouse lag

Im sure I read a good reason somewhere that you will still notice over 60fps even with 60hz. If I could find the thread I would but a quick google does nothing. Maybe its similar to how with a CD you lose sound quality over an LP even though sample rates over 44khz shouldnt matter.

If you have 60fps on a 60Hz monitor theorietically the most lag a frame will have is 1/60th of a second and you will see every frame the card generates. It is important to note the lag could be a lot less than this.

If you have 120fps on a 60Hz monitor theorietically the most lag a frame will have is 1/30th of a second and you will loose 1 in every 2 frames (graphics card will create the frame but you won't ever see it).

If you have 240fps on a 60Hz monitor theoretically the most lag a frame will have is 1/15th of a second and you will loose 3 out of every 4 frames.

Does this make sense?
