Question Is 8ms really bad?

[Ewing]

I found in the Black Friday offers a monitor of a brand I never heard of in monitors Tesla 22MC625BF. It is 75hz and 8ms. 4000:1

Is 8ms bad?
I usually play GTA V, PUBG and similar games, will I notice anything?

What are you using now and what are your PC specs? This is a pretty cheap, entry-level monitor, and would probably be a downgrade for most people.

I don't have a monitor now, I moved without a monitor.
AMD 3600 and a RX 5600

I mean, 8 ms isn't great, but it's a very basic monitor, and you wouldn't expect a quick response time. Whether you notice or not depends on your reflexes; 8 ms isn't dreadfully slow. One problem is that ms on monitors is quite frequently more a marketing thing than an actual bit of data.

Ok I will continue to investigate because I don't know the brand. Unfortunately where I live now there are not many options.

Hey there,

Out of the 3 options, I'd go for the middle one. Although slightly smaller, it's an IPS panel, with 75hz. Nothing spectacular, but it does actually feel a little smoother than 60hz.

The first one is a VA panel type. I'm not fond of them. Yes you get better contrast, but for me the colours are better on IPS type.

It depends on what you need. All we have to go on is you play a few games which probably require a higher refresh rate. In that case 8ms would be terrible as you would get ghosting.
Monitors have tradeoffs between color accuracy, contrast, refresh rate, longevity, and price. At such a low price point, your not going to get atleast one of these. With a high refresh rate, even the cheap IPS panels have poor color reproduction. With this in mind I would opt for the VA panel.

I also found this monitor at a good price:

AOC 22B2DA 21.5” FHD 4ms VA-Panel VGA/HDMI/DVI LED Monitor with Speakers

I live on an island and there are not many options :s

 

[mihen]

With those options I would opt for one of the 24" monitors. Both should serve their function well. To me, I think the 2" of extra screen size is also good.
A VA panel from Samsung or an IPS from BenQ. The BenQ will have more accurate colors, and the VA will have more contrast. Just depends on your preference.

Maybe you should go about this a bit different. You provided your usecase which is good but what's your budget and country?

don't limit yourself strictly to computer monitors.

there are many very nice TV panels out there these days with the same or better specifications and usually with a larger screen than any "monitor" variant from the same company.

maybe try searching for a 32" 120Hz television.

Ok I will keep looking and let you know what I get.
