    If you are looking to purchase - it is VERY good advice to check out a certain monitor at a local retailer before buying (online or off). If you are looking at specs online though, look very carefully at the refresh rate of an LCD. What is good for gaming is around 12ms-16ms (milliseconds). Anything higher than that (25ms>) won't do you any good. But, it is very subjective, and the ms rating is only a guide telling you that it is probably good for gaming. Also, don't forget to check out the contrast for a certain monitor, good values are 600:1 or 700:1 - ie. blacker blacks and whiter whites.

    I hope that helps!

    • Very good advice. Of couse, trying out yourself is the best way to jugdge the response time.
