So I recently discovered all HDTVs have a phenomenon known as "display lag". Even the Wii U's gamepad exhibits 33ms of display lag which equals to 2 frames. After running a few tests I've found that my budget Sony 1080p 60hz shows even more lag than that. About 4 frames. So now I'm realizing my TV is about 6 frames behind my inputs. I've never noticed this before. But ever since the other day when I was looking up something about my TV that was completely unrelated, I stumbled upon this. Now I think I do notice it, or maybe it's all in my head. But my question is do I need to invest in a lagless monitor such as the EVO monitor or something with equal display lag (09ms or less than one frame) or does it not really matter?
My gf and I have gamed fast paced games on this TV for 8 months (but Smash for only about 6 weeks) and have never noticed it before and still aren't sure if we do. We have dabbled in competitive racing gaming before but never fighting games and always online. Is this important? How many of you play with a specialized monitor? Is it only for competitive players or should every gamer make this investment?
