JT! Wrote:How does ghosting bother you in web browsing?
Scrolling up/down pages creates a very noticeable smearing effect on most LCD monitors. Black text on white backgrounds or vice versa are what make the effect so noticeable. Black and white are the two extremes of the voltage range so they take the longest time to transition between vs. any other combination of colors. Which is why we used to measure pixel response times in black to white transition time before companies started cheating to make their specs. look better than they really were.

But maybe that's just because I've never use a monitor with really low response times and I'm just ignorant on the subject... same goes with input lag.
Your TN monitor likely has very low response times and input lag.
As far as your IPS HDTV goes "it depends". Most input lag is produced by internal image processing done by the displays control panel/microprocessor, not the panel itself. As such it varies a lot from one model to another even if they use the exact same panel. In general though HDTVs tend to have significantly more input lag than monitors due to more extensive image processing features. A lot of HDTV manufacturers are starting to take note of this and include a special "game mode" setting in the OSD menu of their newer models to turn off the higher latency features. Basically they range from slightly higher than an IPS monitor too massively higher depending on the model. Interestingly enough the cheaper HDTVs tend to have lower input lag since they have less image processing features.
As far as response times go again it depends. Response times have a fairly wide range from model to model as well. They tend to be fairly low in HDTVs since they are considered an important spec. for TV/movie viewing. Especially for sports.

How's the backbone doing? Any new shapes you can contort into yet
