Very happy to see that someone finally publishes input lag specifications! Much more useful than the more common (lower numbers and more marketable I assume) "response time".
They are 2 different metrics though, even if both refer to delays. Input lag will most likely include the response time although it's not a given (some will report this lag just as the additional time introduced by the electronics).
But for most people this number is meaningless. Most people will care about response time because it tells them how much blurring/trailing they can expect. Input lag is useful exclusively for gamers.
Within limits that's true, but when Dell released a line of 24" 1920x1200 monitors with input lag in the 100-150ms range, it was severe enough to generate a backlash from ordinary users because the response to their typing and mouse movement were noticeably delayed and speech was visibly out of sync with mouth movement in video. Out side of a not-terrible threshold though it's mostly a concern for gaming.
If this is cheap enough, it looks like a great option! I've been using a 42 inch 4k tv as a monitor but it's honestly too big, this would work as a great monitor solution while having HDR and adaptive sync.
Hello. I need to buy a monitor and I have narrowed the search to: - LG 32UD99-W - Dell U3219Q - Asus ProArt PA32UC - Viewsonic VP3268-4K - Philips 328P6VUB - ASUS CG32UQ - Acer XB321HK
Which one is better? I don't mind color accuracy. I just want no bleeding, high contrast ratio (maybe HDR) and good resolution (very sharp). High frequency would be a plus but it seems incompatible with the other options for this price. I have found some isolated reviews and comments about them but no comparison.

I never even considered input lag, damn. Wonder if that info is published for my samsung screens.sls - Tuesday, June 5, 2018 - link
I can bet you that input lag is just input lag alone. If it was input+response that would be pretty great for a non TN panel.Rockmandash12 - Tuesday, June 5, 2018 - link

HiAnyone heard anything about the Asus cg32uq regarding availability yet?
Hoping it's not been cancelled...
