As I understand input lag, isn't thata technology issue for some lcd monitors? I mean I think some monitors suffer input lag worse than other when displaying other than the native resolution. Isn't that where the problem lies: resizing to a differerent resolution causes input lag? Additional to GTG, isn't there a similar measurement for black to white?
I suppose anyone who can afford one might invest in a new lcd monitor capable of 120hz. I'm not talking about an lcd tv, but a pc monitor. I think I read about one somewhere recently.
At any rate, I agree with your premise that the monitor can be the missing bottleneck. I'll have to choose wisely.

Once you go to a LCD you will forget all about the CRT. If you go widescreen try not to go below a 22".. preferably 24" or better.. I believe we should start seeing OLED monitors this year some time... OLEDs will be to LCDs what LCDs were to CRTs.. They use less power, are cheaper to amnufacture and are brighter..
