Unless you're a professional gamer, the input lag shouldn't affect you too much.

That's response time, not input lag. Different.

the 1ms is the response time

Isn't input lag mainly on the system running the monitor?

So will 10ms be fast????

It'll be fine. My triples are 5ms and I notice no issues that I, myself, am not responsible for.

The manufacturers claims as to the latency are a complete fabrication. Really good monitors today might in practice get 5ms of processing and switch time at best, at worst its more like 40ms. Both of those monitors will likely claim a 1ms response time, but they will be using different things to measure. Then you have how awful the overdrive will be, some will ghost, some will produce inversions and some will get it just right.

 

Don't just buy a monitor based on the manfacturers, go read a decent review from somewhere like tftcentral.co.uk and see for yourself. Because those spec sheets are a complete fabrication.
