Does Your LCD Play Catch-Up To Your Mouse?

Dishes of Ryan writes "I fell in love with the idea of an LCD monitor, so I ended up buying a nice, shiny Dell 2001FP. However, nowhere, and I mean *nowhere* did I read about LCDs having an input lag on them. For instance, if I scoot the mouse across the screen, there is a noticeable delay between when I move the mouse and when the cursor moves. To prove it to people, made a video showing exactly what I mean. You can almost forget being king of the hill on twitch FPS games like Unreal Tournament. Are there any other Slashdotters out there that are as annoyed as I am? What did you do?"

What kind of mouse do you have?

Is it a wireless mouse? Because I can tell you now that low quality and last generation mice all have a damn high (very noticable) latency on them.

hahahahahaha

hahahah... what an idiot. you bought a dell. best of luck getting hold of some brainless Indian who will get you to rip out your RAM, reboot your computer a bunch of times, then tell you it's a software problem and you should reinstall Windows.

I'd like to know how an output device slows down an input device. That's some pretty high level trickery.

But I can see why you contacted /. before contacting Dell tech support.

When you buy the cheapest shit on the market, don't expect reasonable quality.

moron.

You're kind of an idiot, aren't you?

Automatically assuming that the monitor must be at fault as the original poster suggested is less than insightful.

Someone please mod this knuckledhead as a troll...

You may have a fairly well trained eye, but your brain is obviously not.
