Today I purchased the Samsung LS24 monitor. Here's a link. http://www.thegoodguys.com.au/samsung-ls24-24-inches-monitor-ls24d390hlxy

You can see that it clearly states "5MS response time", but as I'm playing on it right now with Xbox 360 I am getting a rather large response time. I've tested it on Dark Souls, and Need for speed most wanted. I do an action and and I literally have to wait for it for actually happen. Its not long but you need to be very precise in Dark Souls.

This sucks! Can somebody give me some help? Would be much appreciated.
 
The monitor does have a 5ms response time; http://www.samsung.com/nz/consumer/pc-peripherals/monitor/business-monitor/LS24D390HL/XY.

What you're describing is input lag, which is usually caused by having vsync enabled if you were playing on a PC. Check that you're using the correct hertz setting (usually 60hz) on both the Xbox and the TV.
