I read at Toms Hardware that you cant really go by the manufacture specs for
gaming performance. They tested a few 19" LCD with claimed 16ms and even
12ms and most ran way above those specs under normal conditions but were
still very playable for fps games, but the Xerox claimed 16ms and was not
playable(120ms).

I was actually trying to find a good gaming review of the new 20" and 23"
LCD's that claim 16ms like the SONY SDM-P234/B, but all I could find was the
buyer reviews saying "Dude, its awesome! Get it!"
Anyone found a good review of the new 23" LCD's or have tried one for
gaming?
