The following is quoted from Tom's Hardware Guide: http://www6.tomshardware.com/display/99q2/990624/index.html Response Time Many TFTs still have problems with regard to moving (animated) images. The cause is the response time of the liquid crystals. Values between 20 and 30 milliseconds are typical for modern systems. By comparison: a standard movie produces 25 images per second, i.e. a single frame has to be shown for 40 milliseconds. As the liquid crystals are very slow to respond, fast sequences, e.g. the view from a jet fighter flying through a valley or the credit banner of a film appear to be 'smudged'. However, it would be unfair to say that TFTS are unusable for video playback, the response times are generally sufficient. > >I am concerned specifically with Car Racing Simulators. > >Does anybody here have one of these low priced LCD Monitors, and have you tried >running Movies, or high frame-rate games on them? > >Do they Blur, do they jump, or are they wonderful? > >Thanks Guys, >Tina Long
