This Database Sorts Monitors and HDTVs by Display Lag

This Database Sorts Monitors and HDTVs by Display Lag


Display lag is that slight delay between you something happening on a game console or a PC and that action showing up on-screen. Finding a display with low lag times is important, so DisplayLag has a database you can filter by brand, lag time, screen size, refresh rate, and more.


Admittedly, the site does muddy the terms "display lag" and "input lag" a little bit into one big issue (the former being a function of the display and the device connected to it, and the latter being a function of a user interacting with that device and what the display shows), but the site's database is packed with display models from most major brands that you can sort through. You can use it to find the lag time for your current display, or if you're shopping for a new HDTV or monitor and you can't find its lag time listed, the database may have it. Alternatively, if you're just curious which display manufacturers and models have the lowest lag times, it can help you there too.


The site is just getting started, so it may be missing a few companies—and with others, you'll have to look for the actual panel manufacturer's name, not necessarily the brand it's sold under. Still, it's worth a look before you go monitor shopping.
