Absolutely. I had played Call of Duty games on my 46" Toshiba for a while, and when I went to my friends how, I noticed that not only were the controls way more responsive, I always played better over there. We couldn't understand why, but it wasn't just me, because he noticed the difference when playing at my house. I just recently was talking to a guy who plays for MLG and he explained response time to me. He told me that MLG uses 5 ms monitors in their tournaments. I had a monitor on my computer in my room that was 5 ms, so I got curious.... After doing some research, I discovered that my Toshiba had an 8 ms response time, and my friends TV had a 5 ms response time. I bought the necessary cables, and now I play my xbox on the monitor, and let me tell you, the difference is astounding.

What TV will be best for gaming?

All of the top brands are fine for gaming, However plasma displays have a better response time than LCD.


How does ms response time affect picture quality on lcd or plasma televisions?

ms stands for milliseconds and the smaller the number the better, especially if you watch a lot of sports and fast action movies. This is usually not a problem with regular TV shows or movies. A response time of 5 ms or less is most desired in a TV. 3 or less is best. A plasma TV usually has the fastest response time, but there are LCD's that are comparable.


Im looking at two TV's one with a 4 ms response time and another with a 2 ms response time. Is a fast response time important when buying a LCD TV?

I copied this response to a similar question answered by 'A well lit garden' on Yahoo Answers. "4 ms LCD response times do help in controlling jitter. If you like watching sports, action movies or gaming on your TV, the extra $150.00 is well worth it. Additional Notes: LCD TVs use a technique called sample & hold. They display a frame (sample) and then hold that frame until the next frame is updated to the screen. They do NOT allow the image to deacy between frames. It's because LCD images do NOT decay that you get motion blur on an LCD TV. Sample & Hold is unique to LCD TVs. All other TV technologies allow the image to decay between frames and, therefore, do not have motion blur and jitter. Jitter, the shaky edges of fast moving images is directly related to LCD response times. The faster the LCD response time, the less jitter you see. 4ms response times do make a difference in the amount of jitter one sees on an LCD TV (regardless of the TV manufacturer)." _____________ I'm sorry, I didn't feel that you got a 100% satisfactory response. To make a long answer a simple one, the lower the response time, the better it is for you. 4ms is better than 8ms, and 2ms is better than 4ms. I'm sure we're all wishing for the day when we can find a TV with a 0ms response time! -13


On a lcd tv Fast 9ms Pixel Response Time?

An LCD screen is composed of diodes that are individually controlled and, typically, the pixel response time is the time it takes for a pixel to go from black to white to black again. Sadly the lack of an industry standard means some manufacturers list the speed for a screen to perform half a cycle, black-to-white or white-to-black only, or even list the pixel time from one shade of grey to another (known as grey-to-grey). A TV with a 9ms full-cycle pixel response would be fast and provide good quality viewing. If the 9ms is half-cycle then the quality would still be good for TV / DVD viewing but approaching the acceptable limit for Gaming. A 9ms pixel response time for grey-to-grey would be considered poor by today's standards and may give ghosting or bleeding.
