The brief answer is that LCD screens need to turn pixels off and on to display images.
How quickly the screen can turn these pixels off and on, is known as response time.
Response time is measured in milliseconds. I.e 1/1000th of seconds or part there of, for quicker refesh. - Lenny Bielski

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
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.
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.
Can anyone tell me for playing games which TV should I buy?
Forplaying games, I think you should go for LG LCD TV which is in-built with IPS technology that helps offer fast response speed. Slow response time will cause the image as streaking and ghosting. LG LCD TV displays high quality of pictures with the IPS technology. Taking into account of all these glaring feats, it can be said that the LG LCD TV is best for playing games.
What is the difference between LCD televisions and plasma?
Viewing angles for a plasma will not have as many problems as viewing angles for LCD's, Screen Refresh Rates / Pixel response time for plasma screens are faster, and plasma tvs tend to be heavier.

What are the benefits of purchasing plasma TV's?
Plasma TVs allow more picture clarity and are cheaper than comparable LCD TVs of the same size. Response time is often shorter than other TVs, and they feature deeper blacks.
What is an LCD television lamp?
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. LCD television have bulbs, used to illuminate the high-definition on-screen images and thus need to be replaced in a period of time. Installing LCD television lamp is user-serviceable.

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.
