Additional Review Notes

1.7ms is practically no input lag, for comparison old CRT monitors which are considered to have no input lag under modern measuring have an input lag of 1.5ms.
So there isn’t really anything else to be gained from getting any lower these values are miniscule,
For online competitive gaming you also need
- wired ethernet connection.
- a frame rate that maintains an fps as close to the refresh rate of the monitor to reduce motion blur
- avoid system bottlenecks which add system lag, nvidia reflex for example should be enabled or capping fps.

CRT monitors? What specific model has 1.5ms & how was it tested? I play really competitive games so this will favor me

Cathode Ray Tube monitors the old ones from the 1990s and early 2000s (big box square monitors), these monitors are not widescreen and often only have a VGA connector, its not straight forward to use one of these with a modern PC. Some people prize them because they had no input lag and no built in motion blur unlike LCD’s but now input lag on modern monitors is as good as CRT’s.
As to the source aperturegrille monitor review site, when he tested the Asus VG279QM was compared it to CRT monitor he owns.
What I’m saying is you are not getting a benefit between 1.7 and 1.5ms that is literally nothing, any of the 1.7ms LCD modern monitors are as good as it gets.
