Question 1ms vs 0.5ms response time

[Voidseeker_1]

I'm looking at getting a new monitor and I have 2 in mind and one has a 1ms and one has a 0.5ms response time and I'm wondering Is there a big difference between 1 and 0.5ms response time?

Not really a big difference at all, But if you are vary competitive in games where response time matter, probably best to go with the faster monitor, you can still be vary competitive with a 1ms monitor as well, but every second can count.

What are the monitors that you are looking at?

Thanks that's good to know. I mainly play driving games and a few shooters here and there so I'm not that crazy or super competitive.

Those are both pretty comparable despite the Acer being IPS and MSI being VA.
Here are the reviews for both via RTINGS:

VA can have bad ghosting effect. IPS is much better, colours are better too. The VA does have better contrast though.

I'd be going IPS.

I'd be going IPS.

I second this. VA tends to cost a tad less for similar specs but the color richness and virtually no ghosting on fast IPS monitors has me putting my dollars towards IPS displays.

This is good to know thanks.

The physical limits with current NON-OLED panels is around the 7-8ms and anything bellow just introduce more pixel trailing/blur and doest show you more detail or faster animations.

Whats more important is that the overdrive presets match your gaming fps system performance. Some overdrives are horrible under max-refreshrate.

0.5-1ms times are just marketing lies and nothing else. OLED is far ahead of anything we can buy right now, its not close, its by many factors faster.
