<br />For wired controllers, this lag is negligible. For wireless controllers, opinions vary as to the effect of this lag. Some people claim to notice extra lag when using a wireless controller, while other people claim that the 4-8 milliseconds of lag is negligible.<ref>http://www.lockergnome.com/uncategorized/2011/08/26/wireless-controller-latency-is-it-a-problem/</ref>
===Display lag<br />{{main|Display lag}}===
This is the lag caused by the television (which is also called "input lag" by the first definition above). Image processing (such as upscaling, 100 Hz, motion smoothing, edge smoothing) takes time and therefore adds some degree of input lag. It is generally considered that input lag of a television below {{nowrap|30 ms}} is not noticeable,<ref>http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/monitors/2009/02/06/the-dark-side-of-overdrive/4</ref> discussions on gaming forums tend to agree with this value. Once the frame has been processed, the final step is the [[pixel response time]] for the pixel to display the correct colour for the new frame.
