you should use anything that can get you 120 hz

and has a good response time

Is 25 ms good or bad for response time?

What kind of response time am I looking for?

25ms is a lot
samsung 2233rz is considered the best gaming lcd atm

So I'm gimping myself a bit with this monitor?

I just noticed the one you suggested had only a 3 ms response time... that's a rather big difference from 25 ms.

I think so
Im sure there is something about that monitor in hardware forum, if you want to read on topic

read this thread for a start: http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1691204

don't buy anything else right now rather go crt.

the other big thing is refresh rate. 120hz lcds are a new thing, so expect them to cost a little more, but yeah, the response time is even more important than refresh rate, imo.

In fact with a 120Hz you get one pic every 8ms but with a 60Hz you get one pic every 16ms.

So both are important

If you want the screen to blur so much that you go blind, get a 25ms monitor.

Otherwise, don't settle for anything more than, say, 5 or 6 ms.
