LCD response time. 2ms? 5ms?

Instruo · 2007-04-22T19:24:59

I'm considering purchasing an LCD monitor, but seeing as I've always used CRTs, I figured I'd try to gleen some of the collective wisdom of the forums [smile] So, the 'obvious' choice seems to be to go with a 2ms monitor, as being totally uneducated it seems like the easiest way to avoid the ghosting monster. However, is that just an outdated problem and doesn't exist in 5ms models either? 5ms are usually a bit cheaper, but the biggest thing is that there is WAY more options in the 5ms than the 2ms. Any insight would be great, thanks!

I have had a ViewSonic VX-2000 20" LCD for a long time, and it's not a "fast" LCD (I think it's a 16 ms). It's served me well for gaming, video, coding, and anything else. I still have a 10 year old 21" CRT from Samsung that I use, but it's no better than the LCD (and, in fact, a little worse, because it's not as sharp).
