Sorry if this is dumb but I'm out of the loop on tech knowledge. I've used a 480i CRT for years, mostly because of 3rd Strike, but I recently learned that my computer monitor (ASUS VE198T) has low input lag. That assumption is based on the fact that all of the reviewed VE##8 models have 11 ms or less of lag on DisplayLag.com (which is run by a fighting game player?). However, the resolution of the one I have is 1440 x 900 at an aspect ratio of 16:10 and it doesn't have HDMI input.
Basically, I have two questions:
1. Does using an HDMI-to-DVI cable for PS3 increase input lag or otherwise negatively affect performance? Both formats are digital so I figure it would be fine, but I don't know.
2. Since the native resolution of my monitor doesn't match the output options for any console, should I be worried about visual issues or lag caused by scaling? Or do most 900p monitors display 720p games with black bars?
Thanks.
