Hello. Im going to buy a need monitor to replace my good old 19" LG lcd and my best bet would be the 22" LG IPS LED 22MP55D. Ive seen videos where it says ips panels have substantially slower response time than TN's.

Now heres the problem. I looked at the specs for this monitor on the official LG page of my country and it says 14ms response time while another american page for the same exact monitor says it has 5ms response time :S

Here are the links for the 2 pages.(sry for the spanish.. i think you can still choose the lang though)

LG: http://www.lg.com/ar/monitores/lg-22MP55D

Hardware.info: https://us.hardware.info/product/271264/lg-22mp55d-p/specifications

Thanks in advance friends :)

I wouldn't say the u2414h is a good choice for gamers in this day and age. These other monitors are close to $110 and that's double the budget.

That lg is decent for a cheap ips and it's about what you'd find near the price you are looking at.

You shouldn't believe manufacturers response times values. 14ms response time is more realistic for IPS panel, maybe 5ms was measured in overdrive mode. That said, my oldest HP LP2475w IPS has 25 ms input lag and I can still play on line games on it without a problem. Good ISP has latency between 10-20ms, then add latency of game server and all of the sudden monitor input lag isn't the most important thing when online gaming anymore.

Response times are always overdrive and gtg but it shouldn't be 14ms or else it would have ghosting issues. Most ips are around 5-8ms these days. As mentioned you can't really believe them and you shouldn't worry about it anyways. Look at reviews for ghosting issues and you'd be fine.

Just for clarification how much input lag is tolerable for gaming:

Class 1) Less than 16ms / 1 frame lag - should be fine for gamers, even at high levels
Class 2) Lag of 16 - 32ms / 1 to 2 frames - moderate lag but should be fine for many gamers. Caution for serious gaming and FPS
Class 3) Lag of more than 32ms / more than 2 frames - Some noticeable lag in daily usage, not suitable for high end gaming

Many todays professional IPS monitors still fall in second class category (16 - 32 ms) like Dell U2717D, U3415w ->25ms, so if I were a hardcore gamer wanting quality relatively cheap IPS panel, I'd probably choose DELL U2414H (5ms) or some other recent Dell UltraSharp screen (although the U2417H, U2515H and U2715H are a little bit slower but still fall in 1 class category).

High refresh rate IPS-type panels like the Asus ROG Swift PG279Q and Acer XB270HU can reach even lower response times of around 5ms G2G thanks to the boosted refresh rate but they are way too expensive.

From my own experience, I use HP LP2475W (25ms), HP ZR24W (10ms), HP ZR2420W (20ms), Dell G2410 (5ms) in extended desktop mode and Eyefinity setup (excluding G2410) and I can't notice any diference between them regarding response time.

Just to make sure no one is confused, micafuks post is about input lag, not response times which are different things.

Response times is the time it takes for pixels to change usually gtg, gray to white to gray. This does not account for input lag, the time it takes for you to click/press a button til when it shows on screen. Input lag includes response time but you can't determine input lag by any other way than measuring because there is no way to know processing time. There is added input lag from input devices, ie mouse and keyboard so lab tests eliminate/compensate for them. Fast response times can still have high input lag. Slow response times can still be class 1 but can suffer from ghosting. Response times is a reference for ghosting concerns.

Honestly I don't know why this turned to input lag discussion. But it makes sense you wouldn't notice a difference for class 1-2 and response time when those are all 5-7ms rated response times which are acceptable for 60hz. The old tftcentral reviews don't give actual response times like new ones but the chase test had similar results for the ZR24W, LP2475W and ZR2440W. I'm not sure where that 5ms for the G2410 is from though unless my suspicions are correct and you did confuse input lag with response times.

Anyways, there is no clear answer which page is correct and I've seen lg spec pages have glaring errors many times. With no pro review, the only way to know if it has a fast enough response time is from user reviews about ghosting issues.

I'd pay 50 $ more and go with Dell UltraSharp U2414H. It's a great monitor with measured average G2G Response Time of 8.9 ms and Total Display Lag (SMTT 2) of 4 ms. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_u2414h.htm

It's one of the best budget buys for gamers right now. Good factory calibration and great all-round performance, decent responsiveness and very low lag for gaming, flicker-free backlight, light AG coating and minimal IPS glow. What more could you want for less than 200 $?
