5ms vs 2ms

by aQUTE • 15 Jun 2008, 13:51 • Journals
does it realy make a big difference? (using it for Illustrator, photoshop, and ET mainly)
cuz i still havnt bought a new monitor and i am thinking about these 2 now:

- Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW (2ms, around €240-280)
- HP L2245w (5ms, around €270-290, overal better ratings except for the respondstime)

I don't really think so, you may notice it on a longer notice when you're like a couple of hours behind your pc. Just take what you think is suitable for your personal preferences.

It's just a peak value which doesn't say much about the performance of the display. It could have a peak of 2ms at one color, but might not perform better than 20ms for any other color.
