Recommended Offset?

Recommended Offset for newcomers.

Google your monitor's model # and figure out its response time. Most have a minor delay like 2-3ms.

Set the game's display settings to fullscreen and make sure the framerate is uncapped and not on vsync. You might introduce visual tearing, but this will eliminate lag to your display and make the monitor's native delay the only barrier you have to adjust the offset for.

Then you can set the offset in-game to the delay your monitor has and (hopefully) be synced as close as possible to the perfect sync between the game and the music.

Now, sorry to necro this thread. My 144Hz monitor has 1ms grey-to-grey response time, would I set the offset ingame to +0.001, or -0.001? I also presume that the Offset value it uses is in milliseconds, yes? So can just set it to it exactly? At 1ms is it even worth adjusting the offset? I find I don't have any problems getting perfect except on really high-level fast songs at high difficulties
