Another LCD monitor question

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

When you look at the specs of a monitor it gives a 'response time -
"25ms response time". Another monitor "16ms response time" - so which
is better? and what difference will it make?
Incidentally, I also use the monitor for watching TV and dvds thru my
pc.

Depends.

If you're going to watch anything with action, like sports, you want a lower
number. Higher numbers and the fast moving action smears.

Quite a few owners of Dell LCD monitors have commented via the net that the
published 25ms response time spec is bogus... they actually perform faster
than that.
