Refresh rate and response time

[Guest]

What is more important: monitor refresh rate or monitor refresh time? What is the difference?

Refresh time is less important, unless you're a pro, you don't need less than 4ms, you won't notice anything up to 10ms. Refresh rate is how many fps your monitor can display.

I have a 1ms monitor and a 144hz refresh rate on it, AND damn its better then 5 ms and 60 hz....
1ms is only good for gaming.
Buy a balanced one.

I game on an 8ms, and I have gamed on a 1ms. Practically no difference. I played a lot of games, pretty much nothing. It was a little smoother in BF4, not by much though, and I play a lot of games. Have you ever gamed on more than 1ms?

Anyway, I like IPS's. Best monitor in the lower price bracket for gaming (IMO) is the 2414H. Very sexy bezel, and it looks aazing. Great colours, faces off against an iMac quite nicely.

Yeah, I used 5 ms, but truthfully BF4 and Titanfall are the only ones that show a difference
