Next, look at how your PC and display are connected. Wireless displays introduce more latency than wired ones, especially at high resolution display settings. If you’re using a wireless display, try switching to a wired connection, if possible. Not all wired connections provide the same response time benefits. Some displays (especially Smart TVs) add processing effects like visual noise reduction to AV input, which adds to latency. To avoid this, check to see if your TV features a “Game Mode” that minimizes input lag by bypassing video signal processing. Keep in mind that every TV and monitor has a unique, hardware-defined input latency. This is the amount of time that it takes the display to receive, process, and show incoming data. It is built into the hardware of the screen itself and cannot be changed.

Manufacturers don’t generally advertise their products’ latency delays.

Instead, they focus on “response time,” which measures how long it takes for individual pixels to change color. It’s easy to confuse these two, but response time doesn’t have a significant impact on input lag.

Many new, gaming-ready displays have an input latency of 10-15 milliseconds.
