[MONITOR] Question

[Sky03]

First monitor is $180 with response time of 2ms, but contrast ratio of 800:1

Second monitor is $190 with response time of 5ms, but contrast of 1000:1


Both are 24" widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution. In this case, is the faster response time better or is the contrast ratio the key?

(dunno how big of a difference 2 vs 5 is, same with 800 vs 1000)

Will be using HD5850 if it matters.

Get the 2ms.

So I guess 2 vs 5ms is a bigger performance difference, than the 800 vs 1000 contrast?

The Human eye cant notice any difference between a 5ms and 2ms response time... and again same for the Contrast ratio at that level...
I would suggest you get the one that is cheaper...

 

[Sky03]

Oh.. It's more like both differences aren't noticeable. Gotcha. Thanks.

A Dell Ultrasharp with 5ms response time would display better images than say a 2ms ASUS display...It all depends on the quality of the display panel and the technology used...

 

[gkay09]

But above 8ms is not good as we will be able to notice the flicker and ghosting...So 5ms and below is the way to go...

 

[Sky03]

I see. Thanks!
