My computer monitor advertises a 1ms response time and the refresh rate is 144Hz. Wouldn’t that mean that the best response time possible is 1/144s?
In: 99
The latency from the refresh rate occurs on the graphics card, since that is where the frames are actually being rendered (at 144Hz, or more specifically the display buffer is encoded at 144Hz, it’s actually up to the software to set the contents of the frame buffer to the right thing.)
The monitor latency is how long that frame takes to be displayed once it is sent from the graphics card.
Basically, that 1ms is *on top* of the normal refresh latency.
