Most strobing backlight monitors are are around ~10ms input lag. The Eizo with Turbo240 off is ~11ms, and ~18ms with it on. While I do agree and wish the input lag was a bit lower, I don't think ~7ms difference would make a huge difference.
If you are playing a game like Quake or CS at a decently high skill level like I used to that has absolute snap movements, a CRT like the FW900 is still the way to go. Awesome motion clarity and zero input lag. I don't really play those type of games anymore with my advanced age of 34, so the Eizo's don't bother me.
Yah, I'm 33... I end up spending a lot less time using my toys than I do trying to get them to work right, but if I ever felt totally satisfied with my setup I might settle down and play a lot more again. I'm not hurting for free time to do it. I guess in order to really add my opinion on the lag issue for my gaming genre of choice I'd have to get out and do some laps and races at iracing.com. I've been paying yearly subs there for a while just to have access to their forums. At any rate, I don't really think input lag of this kind would have much effect on say MMORPG's... but tell that to your dead tank, eh?
One thing I gotta say though, everything I throw at it that isn't a bad still photo looks amazing color and motion wise. The only 2 times I ever notice anything other than what to me looks like perfection is on background pictures and while on the gray background of this forum. That color is pretty rough on my FG2421 and it scrolls a little wonky like my eyes want to see diagonal lines as I'm scrolling but they are transparent so you can't ever really pick them out. Honestly scrolling on the fast TNs is similarly "not perfect" because they don't have color uniformity in general, so I could always spot a dark spot or a big blotch in the [H] front page dark gray.
