I have been looking around for a good monitor for nvidia surround x3, and after a while I came across the Viewsonic VX2370Smh, it looks great, only problem is, it has a 7ms gtg response time(according to website) does anyone know if that's acceptable? I'm currently running 2, 2ms monitors, will I notice the difference?
 
I'll just give you my experience....I was running a 8ms (as Dell listed) monitor for gaming. It got great reviews and was supposed to be pretty fast.

I later bought a 2ms monitor and now I can't play my fps games on the 8ms monitor. Simply too much of a difference.

If you want 3 monitors for gaming I'd suggest sticking to 2ms monitors. If you wanted one good monitor then I'd look for a 5ms IPS panel.

Only problem is this monitor is one of the only good ips panels you can find in New Zealand for a decent price, and a small bezel is absolutely necessary for the nvidia surround, do you know of any tn or ips monitors with small bezels, low response time/imput lag and at a good price?

Thanks for your help dude, did a bit of research though and turns out the viewsonic actually has a very good response time and great imput lag, you can't always trust what they put on the box ;)
 


I totally agree with not always trusting whats on the box. That's why I had linked you to a great monitor review site. Two monitors with 5ms response time (according to box) doesn't mean they are the same speed. Check reviews and comparisons.
