This thread is mostly for 120hz lcds. I posted on 3d vision with hardly and responses.
Yes I know 1680x1050 or 1920x1080 looks very pretty but for first person shooters. I prefer playing fps at 1024x768 in a boxed 4:3 mode on a 120hz. In my opinion the image is still sharp and crisp and is essentially the same image that my old 22" NEC CRT produces. I prefer the black bars and centering the image on the monitor and it looks a lot sharper then stretching out full pixel of the high resolution monitor in a lower resolution such as 1024x768.
The reason I prefer gaming like this is because over the years I've become custom to competitive gaming on my CRT and prefer 4:3 over 16:10. Plus I'm able to push more frames at the lower resolution.
My question is if I run at 1024x768 in a 'nvidia scaling with fixed-aspect ratio' or 'do not scale' (I forget which option I checked when had had tried the viewsonic and samsung 120hz lcds back in December), will this introduce more input lag and responsiveness then playing at the native resolution of 1680x1050 or 1920x1080?
Are there any tests confirming more or less input lag / responsiveness?
Don't hate me for wanting to play in 4:3 mode! I enjoy the extra wide screen space for desktop and playing rts
