Can someone explain what "input lag" and "grayscale clipping" is in terms of gaming PC monitors?

Question

Thew review says "pros: Accurate colors. Speedy pixel response and refresh rate. Generous feature set." its 144mhz and 1 ms response - this is why i got it.

"Cons: Some gray-scale clipping. Middling input lag. Narrow viewing angles"

I get narrow viewing angles, but what are the other things, gray scale clipping and input lag?

Answer 1

Input lag refers to how many milliseconds it takes for your input to register on the screen. Grayscale clipping, i have no education on.

Answer 2

Gray-scale modification (also called gray-level scaling) methods belong in the category of point operations and function by changing the pixel's (gray-level) values by a mapping equation. The mapping equation is typically linear (nonlinear equations can be modeled by piecewise linear models) and maps the original gray-level values to other, specified values. Typical applications include contrast enhancement and feature enhancement.



The primary operations applied to the gray scale of an image are to compress or stretch it. We typically compress gray-level ranges that are of little interest to us and stretch the gray-level ranges where we desire more information. This is illustrated in Figure 4.2-1a, where the original image data are shown on the horizontal axis and the modified values are shown on the vertical axis. The linear equations corresponding to the lines shown on the graph represent the mapping equations. If the slope of the line is between zero and one, this is called gray-level compression, whereas if the slope is greater than one, it is called gray-level stretching. In Figure 4.2-1a, the range of graylevel values from 28 to 75 is stretched, while the other gray values are left alone. The original and modified images are shown in Figures 4.2-1b, c, where we can see that stretching this range exposed previously hidden visual information. In some cases we may want to stretch a specific range of gray levels, while clipping the values at the low

In most cases Messianic Jews are in reality Christians who were previously Jews. Some Jews take offense at the term Messianic Jew.
