    Response time is the amount of time it takes for a pixel on the monitor to change from one shade of grey to another and back again. What you described was input lag, which can be cumulative based on your pc equipment and/or monitor. Common mistake I see all of the time!! Be safe!

    I’d say you would expect the picture to change after given your input so response time would be part of the more broader term input lag

    Really love this video - very simple to understand and helpful! As someone who uses Outlook and MS word and other applications in the MS suite extensively for reading contracts every day, the G27Q and it's BGR subpixel layout made reading text terrible. So unfortunate because it really excels in every other category for the price.

    Excelent video! I'm just a bit disappointed that a good video like this didn't mention that 99% of response times listed on retailer and manufacturer specifications do not represent reality at all, and should be outright ignored when purchasing. This is very important, and VESA is in fact issuing new testing standards like ClearMR to address that exact problem, but this standard is not widespread as of yet, which is why you should actually check 3rd party reviews and testers for realistic response times of your monitor

    Just bought a LG Ultragear 24GN650-B (24" FHD 144hz 1ms) for $195 and i couldn't be happier with my purchase. Im using a gaming laptop with GTX 1650 so i don't wanna buy a 1440p since it couldn't handle 3A games on that res so this is the sweetest spot for me at least.
