What is the acceptable input lag if you are looking into competitive racing?

[Alexis Clapano]

I am wanting to upgrade to a bigger screen and money has become an issue for me...I am looking into buying 3 28" TV which according to reviews produce around 38 ms of input lag.

Will this be enough?

Thanks for the input.

It will be a handicap. Is it 38 ms with the leo bodnar input lag tester or by the CRT test? Leo bodnar give higher numbers. If it´s constant you can compensate some for it but it´s when you go over the limit and on turn in it can cause some issues with timing. I need at least under 20 ms or I can easilly see the difference in correcting slides etc.

I was looking at 32 inch tv's but in the end I went with 27inch monitors due to the reason above

Its with leo bodnar I believe. The one im looking at buying is the samsung j4000 series. Basing the research on this website: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/by-test-results/input-lag

Hmm have Sony went bad again. They had really low input lag on their previous models so you could investigate their 2013 models or whenever they launched the W6-W9 series.

Though I am on my second W6 the first lasted 1,7 years so not sure I dare to recommend them.
