For Gaming

Is 12ms good enough? If so, is 16ms good enough?

For games like Doom3.
I'm sure 16ms is good enough for Warcraft 3 type games.

Just like some opinions.

12-16ms would probably be fine. You will always get some streaky/wavyness from lcds and it takes a little while to get used to but if you are fine with it/adjusted to it then it won't be much of an impact in any game.
I myself will never give up my CRT because I can't deal with any latency but thats just me.

ive got a samsung 172x (with a filthy dead pixel) and it is excellent for fast FPS games and dvd's. the colour is also very vivid.

That's a 12ms panel. So it sounds like 12ms is good for gaming. And the one I'm looking at, the 12ms model is only $20cdn more than the 16ms model, so it kinda makes sense to go for the 12ms ($435cdn).

Huge advantage would be the space I save on my desk.

Still debating.

Any 16ms or lower models are good for gaming, just stay away from the 20ms and up models.

Do you think the average person can see a difference between a 16ms and 12ms panel?

I have had a 17" Iiyama 431 (16ms) for a couple of weeks... it is brill for Joint Ops & dawn of war so I would think it would b fine for doom3 etc...

Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat...

The one that I'm looking at is this one: <A HREF="http://www.benq.com/display/lcd_fp757-12.html" target="_new">http://www.benq.com/display/lcd_fp757-12.html</A>

It's $435 Canadian ($337 US)

Let me know if anyone has has this or a similar model or has heard anything about it.
