Hello I have recently upgraded to a high-refresh-rate monitor (144Hz/240Hz); but I'm noticing some input lag, especially in fast-paced games. I've tried enabling "low latency mode" in my GPU settings and tweaking V-Sync options, but the issue persists. I'm wondering if there's a more effective way to minimize input delay while maintaining smooth visuals.🙃 From what I understand, factors like frame capping; G-Sync/FreeSync settings, and even Windows power settings can impact input lag. However, it's tough to find the right balance without trial and error. I’d love to hear from others who have optimized their setups—what worked for you?🤔 Checked https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/6r9989/does_higher_refresh_rate_lower_input_lag/mlops guide for reference . Are there specific settings in Windows, Nvidia/AMD control panels, or even monitor OSD settings that I should focus on? Also, do certain mouse polling rates or USB settings make a noticeable difference? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you !🙂

It sounds like you're dealing with common 24p playback issues. The Nvidia Shield and certain Blu-ray players (like the Samsung BDH6500) are great for handling 24p content without stuttering. Android-based devices like FireTV often struggle, but the Shield and Chromecast Ultra may work better if set up correctly. The BDH6500 is a solid choice if you can find it used, but also consider Oppo players for high-quality 24p playback, though they’re pricier. You could also experiment with Kodi or Plex on more powerful devices like the Shield TV to get smoother playback.
