What is a good input lag score for gaming?

For competitive gaming, aim for under 50ms. Casual gamers can tolerate up to 100ms. Most modern monitors achieve 10-30ms with game mode enabled.

Does this test measure monitor latency or system latency?

This test measures combined latency including your monitor's response time, system processing delay, and your human reaction time. For pure monitor latency, check your monitor's specifications.

How can I reduce input lag on my monitor?

Enable 'Game Mode' or 'Low Latency Mode' in your monitor's OSD menu. Use DisplayPort instead of HDMI. Close background applications and update your graphics drivers.

Does higher refresh rate reduce input lag?

Yes, higher refresh rates (144Hz, 240Hz) can reduce input lag because frames update more frequently, resulting in less delay between your input and the display.

What's the difference between input lag and response time?

Input lag is the total delay from pressing a button to seeing the result. Response time is how fast a pixel changes color. Both affect gaming but are measured differently.
