Hello,I just wanted to know if a 20 ms monitor is very bad (my smart response is 8ms btw)
I can run fps games smoothly but after some research, people have told me that 20ms is absolutely horrible ,the people who told me that aren't really experienced because they are random people from yahoo answers -_- so is it really that bad? because I feel very bad about the money I spent on it, I spent $119 I'm only 13 so that's a lot of money and the shop does not give refunds (MSY)

I can run cs go and Just Cause 3 very smoothly on ultra and I have no trouble with lag or low fps I only get lag when I'm playing online and my internet is stuffed, I can also play the most punishing games without any problem.

PS: the monitor is 19.5 inches


Thanks and Is it really that bad?

For gaming, these are important on monitors:
1. You do not see ghosting effect.
2. You have as little input lag as possible. Fast paced games gain advantage of lower input lag, while games like MMORPG does not really gain that much advantage.

On 60Hz monitors, monitor response is not yet really important as long as it does not cause ghosting effect and does not cause high input lag. (do not be mistaken input lag with typical fps lagging in games)

Input lag and smoothness are related more to monitor refresh rate (also means the max fps, that the monitor can display) and the actual fps your rig can drive. For fast paced gaming, higher refresh rate and higher fps are more interesting. e.g. 120Hz or 144Hz. not the usual 60Hz. than pure...

Of course, monitors with higher refresh rate have faster response.
