Need help with response times.

[Copilot]

So I am checking out new monitors and want to buy a 24 inch widescreen. I found one on sale at futureshop for $300

Its this one.

Now I am wondering, my current 19" LCD is 2ms response time and this one is 5ms. Is that 3ms going to make a difference when playing games such as World of Warcraft, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike Source, Half Life 2, GTA4 when it comes out.

Should I buy a 2ms response time 24" lcd even if it isn't a brand I really want? Like acer or something?

Any lcd monitor with less than 8mn is good for gaming because you wont see any ghosting during game play or watching dvd. So you should get 2mn reponse time if you play hardcore game.

I really don't think response times matter anymore. Unless you have superhuman vision 2 vs 5 vs 8 ms shouldn't matter to you. I personally have a quite old LG sporting 12ms and I never noticed any ghosting whatsoever. I think you should focus on color reproduction and contrast/brightness and not that much into response times.
