LG 25" monitor response time

[Pauuuuulix]

Hello,
The display http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/lg-25UM65-P has 14ms response time, but in the reviews someone named "lewisaro" says this monitor has 5ms response time. So is it 5ms or 14ms? And i am really confused about colour depth, it has 8bit and 16.7 million colours, as I have understoond 8bit has 256 colours. http://gyazo.com/7051ec7cc56f6edef6dbc590c53a882c

I'm afraid it really does have 14 ms response time, whoever this stranger is, is wrong.

But I don't understand about the color bit either, I just go with which is better, lol.

It is 14 ms and color depth is 16.7 million colors....which is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

14 ms response time, slow in my opinion especially for gaming

we really don't know whether this guy wants to play games,because if he is gamer he would have know about the color depth...............and 14ms will not slow down the game,bcoz it is negligible....................

I use a TV and it possibly has like 100-200 ms response time and it is still playable for me. But I don't know my TV's response time, it's not in the specs, so I guess it's not too bad

True, but from his original post you can feel he is divided on the monitor depending on if it was 14ms or 5ms. The importance of the latency may be the reason why he posted here in the first place. But at the least it is an 8bit monitor like the op was looking for and it's 100% SRGB too which is nice for design work and printing.

@-Lone-, you make sense too. I game on my TV too sometimes and don't really see the difference but I always thought it was my way below average vision as there is a good amount of people who want 5ms or lower.

Well, I like to have the best graphics quality, so that's why I went with TVs instead of lower response time monitors. But that's just me

o yes you can get motion blur and ghosting if the response time is to slow and would be more prone to input lag with vsync

@lone you would know it if your response time was 100ms lol

Oh so ghosting can be caused by response time? I've noticed sometimes in AC Unity that it may kind of look like 3D gaming, because the outlines of objects are not clear sometimes. But then it wasn't like that today. Okay then thanks for that. Hopefully the OP found what he needed help for

yeah.. if your using a tv some of them have a game or pc mode and it is different from brand and model what it actually does but it can bypass the display processor, reduce response time and increase refresh rate

Ah I see. I believe I can set my TV to be in PC mode through the menu, and then with the AMD Driver (Catalyst) I can set to bypass the display processor. I haven't done that though so I should do that tomorrow. Thanks once again.

np. i do the same with my monitor with hdmi. i set it to game mode, disable itc processing and set the pixel format to full RGB

Yeah, I disabled ITC processing when I was breadboarding my PC but I did a fresh install of drivers and never disabled it again. I did set some color setting from CMYK 444 to RGB 444 as I've heard CMYK is more for bluray videos, etc which I don't use while RGB is for basically everything else/computers. I've probably received more help/info here than OP. Don't want to hijack thread haha.

So far I haven't experienced any ghosting of any kind, so I don't know, lol. I have gaming mode, but I leave it off because I like to keep my settings look...cinematic
