Is there any difference in 2ms vs 5ms monitors for gaming and whats the best brand?

[MrAcd]

Im stuck between a few monitors but some of the monitors are 5ms. i know 2ms is better but by how much anything noticeable, im coming from a 1280 x 1024 with a 16ms response time monitor, I play FPS games like BF4, COD etc so will i see a noticeable difference between the 2? I was also wondering who made the best monitors to game on, i heard it was ASUS so i have been looking into them but if there is different i would like to know?

No point in buying a 120hz monitor unless you have a card that can get 120fps. If anything, you could buy a 1440p monitor for almost the same price as a good 120hz 1080p screen - http://www.amazon.com/QNIX-QX2710-Evolution-LED-Monitor/dp/B00BUI44US/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1382812082&sr=1-1&keywords=qnix

for High Resolution monitor with High refresh rate do not forget about screen tearing & motion blur,i dont know if V SYNC will be a good solution for that .

I'm going to ask again, because a lot of people are recommending a "faster" 60Hz display without explanation. See 3rd,4th or 5th post in this thread.

How is a "FASTER" (5ms, 2ms, 0.0000000001ms) response time monitor at 60Hz any better than a 16ms response time 60Hz monitor? At 60Hz you are getting 60 frames per second or 1 frame every 16.6 ms, so no matter that response time of 1ms, you are still waiting 16.6 ms for the next frame. Same thing goes for anything "faster" than 8.3 ms @ 120Hz. I must be missing something. Anyone?

A faster response time reduces ghosting and screen artifacts that are a result of the pixels not being able to change their colors fast enough to keep up with the changing images.

 

[MrAcd]

In your situation, I think you should upgrade to a faster 60Hz, it will be a noticable improvement, and a 120Hz monitor that cost 3-400 dollars might keep you waiting for a while. Pixel pitch does matter, but not so much for what you're buying.

I do kinda want the upgrade now running a 17inch square not HD monitor to game on, i might got for this one right here

Please explain further. You mean the pixels are changing colors every 5ms? That would result in a refresh rate of 200Hz!

Yeah, I think you should, but go with the 170 or 190 BenQ, not much more than what you're looking at and IMO a much better monitor. If you have to look at it for years you may as well like it right?

 

[MrAcd]

Out of these three which would you choose, you seem like you know what is best.

this has nice pixel pitch

Im leaning toward this one tell me what you think though

In terms of monitor screen quality, the two 23" are pretty much the same. I would recommend either of those if you want to buy right now. The sweet spot for most gamers and 1920x1080 is a 24" monitor, so a 23" is a better choice.

Im fine with a 21.5 though, but spec wise which one?

I'm pretty sure the two 23" monitors are using the same panels and probably have some minor aesthetic differences. I would still go 23 vs a 21.5, even if they had the exact same specs.

Well im pretty sure i know which one im going to pick, and what about a IPS panel one i found one in my price range on sale
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236205 would it be any better, gaming wise?
Btw, i want to thank you so much for taking your time to help me out, like thank you, really.

No problem, glad to help. IPS Panels give better colors, but the aren't as good for gaming because they don't refresh as fast, which can lead to ghosting in some cases.

 

[MrAcd]

i heard they where for cinema and else what, so your saying stay away from IPS since im gaming?

That would be my recommendation.

IPS has some input lag & also TN panel is best for gaming,

 

[MrAcd]

Well thank you again, i know which one to pick you have been a big help
