InputLag

It is the time that the monitor needs to process the image (various color corrections are performed, etc.). Today, input lag occurs mainly in monitors with VA and IPS screens. TN technology usually does not suffer from input lag. Although input lag is not dependent on the technology, it usually does not occur with TN due to the smaller number of colors (the chip does not process as much information). Input lag manifests itself in the form of a slight delay in the image and when moving the mouse, the user feels a bit like the cursor is "floating" over the image. Input lag can be fatal for games. However, manufacturers do not provide this information and you have to read it from specific reviews.
