does the 2408 really have a lag issue??
I have been watching reviews on youtube of 2408 monitors and I cannot detect any input lag.....if you place two monitors side by side e.g. viewsonic and dell then I would expect to see a difference because your comparing two different monitor designs (different response times/different circuit design etc).... then input lag would be obvious as no two monitors would be the same.........confused.....
I find the lag to be unbearable, especially for gaming. I just recently switched from a CRT to 2408WFP. Never used other LCDs, so I don't know if this is common for all LCDs. As far as I've heard, this model suffers more from this problem than others.
I'm going to wait and see if REV A01 fixes this and other problems, for now, I'll stick with the CRT for gaming.

so if the lag does exist, is it just a phenomenon of the screen size? i.e larger LCD has more lag than a smaller LCDMy 2408WFP certainly has input lag ... significantly noticeable even in everyday use.
As for what the cause is ... your guess is as good as anyone's. Seriously. There are a number of posts on this forum that have asked this question and there has been no response from Dell on this.
(For example, see this post http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_monitor&thread.id=91037)

Yes, it really has input lag. There's no denying it's there. What's up for grabs is whether or not it affects you. Personally, I don't notice a thing in either Windows or 3D games. Some people can notice it and it drives them nuts.
Will you notice it? The only way is for you to try it out.
