Hi all,

I am planning to buy Dell S2240L monitor, which looks to be fine for my budget.
On looking at its specification, I noticed its response Time - 7ms. Will it be a problem for gaming ?

Thanks in Advance,
Jacob

No, it shouldn't be a problem. People make a fuss over it but there really isn't a noticeable difference between that and a 5ms or lower response time monitor. However THIS is a 1080p monitor with a 5 MS response time. It's also cheaper, but it's up to you of course.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the response. Will it produce 'ghosting' while playing games like Battlefield 4, call of duty advanced warfare?
And its response time is 7 ms, not 5 ms (as you mentioned)

Thanks
Jacob

It says it has a 5MS response time in the description on the front page? If Im reading that right, lol. And ghosting shouldn't happen unless you have a crappy brand monitor and Acer is by no means a crappy brand monitor. :)

Lol sorry about that. But yeah the 7 MS monitor will do just fine and shouldn't cause any ghosting and it's a very high quality monitor. :) Enjoy
