So I am currently building a system within about a $1100 budget and I am wondering whether I could notice the difference between 2ms and 1ms. Here are the monitors I am considering.

1ms ASUS:http://www.microcenter.com/product/406703/VX238H_23_Widescreen_Full_HD_1080p_LED_Monitor

2ms DELL:http://www.microcenter.com/product/381866/S2230MX_215_Ultra_Slim_LED_Monitor

The $50 difference between the two is pretty substantial in my build, and I would like to know which one you guys would recommend.

Plz be aware that response claims by monitor brands is pretty much just hype. Unless
these claims can be backed up by a trusted lab review, take them with a grain of salt,
and not literally.

you will not notice a difference get the 2 ms but the asus does have a way better contrast ratio so it may be worth it to buy it. you can also find good asus monitors for cheaper than that with a hair higher refresh. for gaming you usually want 5ms or lower.

Also, it is unlikely you would notice a difference of a few ms in real world use. One of the
monitor experts here on the forum even has shown situations where an 8ms monitor
had faster response than a 6ms one, emphsizing the point about mktg hype.

I wouldn't really recommend either of those two monitors.

You would not notice the difference between 1 and 2ms however between the two I would still go with the Asus simply because it is a 23" instead if 21". So for that $50 you are not just paying for the response time but a larger screen. I have had my 9 Ausus 27" monitors(3 monitors on each of my 3 rigs) for about 2 years now and can't see going to anything smaller.

The best monitors for near zero motion blur are those with Lightboost, which are 120hz or 144hz or some Samsung equivalents. They use strobing back lights so it flashes the images bright only after the pixels completely change color, so you get no transition light.
2ms vs 2ms with Lightboost with a high speed camera:
