5ms vs 2ms response time

[shakeel amlay]

Hey guys.
I would like to know if there is any real noticeable difference between a 2ms 1080p monitor and a 5ms one.

unless you are a pro CoD player or a pro Counter-strike player it really won't make too much of a difference.

5ms and 2ms can be noticeable, but like said above, it's not going to really matter that much and it won't hinder your performance to have a 5ms monitor. It can help if you're some pro FPS gamer, but not significantly and other than that, you don't really need it.

I agree,you probably wont notice it at all.If you want a more meaningfull spec.Look for monitors with a high refresh rate as well.

I am starting out as a pc gamer so I thought I'd ask before buying my monitor.

I can't answer the question having never used a 2 ms monitor, but I will say games are definitely playable at higher response times. I have a Dell U2412M which has an 8ms response time and I play BF3, BF4, etc. every night. And kick butt doing it.
