Counter Strike 215TW To the right. BenQ FP91G+ to the left. Observ the delay on the right TFT screen! A shame Samsung!!! Dont buy this TFT screen. You WILL regret it...
Hi guys and gals. I bought my SyncMaster 215TW about a year ago and it has shocking input lag. It was my first ever LCD for home, although I'd used a Dell at work. It killed my gaming - I noticed the input lag staight away. I searched online and I could find nothing on lag. I'm glad there's an explosion of info out there now. I might see if the store will return it, or else give it to my mum who probably won't notice.
Hi! Yeah.. this was a year ago. Im sure Samsung knows about it now. But the problem is that they did'nt when they released it. That's a huge miss. =) I still have a Samsung display... but i just wanted to make sure people knew about that 215TW.
And i just wanted to point out that this is a TFT Vs. TFT test. And NOT crt vs tft. So this lag difference should actually be very close to zero.
also for those of you saying its because of the clone display always lags. i did a stopwatch-photo test with 2 CRTs, (CRT = always zero lag) and i got the same time always to the .001 second was exactly the same.
i just bought this monitor. i have no lag issues, im coming from a CRT too. i did this test vs. a CRT and i get no lag issues unless i move the mouse violetnly across the screen, i get a little bit. sorry for your bad luck. i have been informed by some people that Samsung ackolowdges the problem and its sample variation and they will exchange the monitors for one with much less lag. you can try that.

well - s-pva panels are not fast but if you compare the saturation of both displays....well...

I got a 215 TW aswell, and i just use it as an offscreen now. The inputlag is not something i can live with as a main monitor for gaming.
Useless.

lol, I would love to be able to have the perfect tool for every application (which would be a big old crt if mobility wasn't an issue).
