Why do people call it "input lag" when it's actually output lag.

It's not like your controller/mouse keyboard, sends signals slower because of what tv you are playing on.

Why call it "semantics" when no tics or men are involved?
>>
Because of meaning transfer and general ignorance
>>
because the lag affects your input devices, I think
>>
Because that's what it looks like? You perform an input and it looks like it lagged. I guess it's technically wrong.

It actually does not.
>>
The device providing input is lagging retard

because it is input lag

>monitor takes 10ms to produce frame
>your reactionary INPUT is LAGGED by 10ms

Technically it's called signal processing delay.
But I guess "input lag" just comes out more naturally

>WOOOOOW dude, did you see that? The game is totally dropping my inputs!
>This is boooolshit, it's so laaaggy!
>AHAHAAH so much input lag duuude
