Acceptable response times?

Hey hey everyone,

 

This year, I'm going to do some upgrading to my gaming setup, starting with the monitor.  I've currently got an MSI 27" curved monitor.  1080p, 144hz, 1ms response time.  

 

What, in your opinion, is the cutoff point for input response time?  20ms? 5ms? 1ms?  There seems to be a pretty decent upcharge for 1ms range, that I'm used to.  I don't mind paying for it, if it's worth it, just hoping to get some more experienced minds involved.  

 

For instance, I just saw a 32" 1440p, 165hz, 5ms Pixio monitor for under $330.  I've had my eye on a few with similar spec but 1ms response time, and they all get to $400 and up.

I personally don't ntoice a difference between 1ms vs 5ms, but everyone is different in how they perceive displays.

 

If I were to take a shot in the dark, I'd say anything below 20ms is acceptable for gaming, I think 10ms if it was a first-person shooter, perhaps.

Don't trust manufacturer response times, they are marketing BS.

Look up reviews for more info.

It is impossible to see difference between 1ms and 5ms.In case of 20ms you could probably feel the difference.Human reaction time is over 15ms anyway.

I wouldn't be bothered with 1ms response time on 1440p monitor for $400 as those are usually VA panels and in reality they all have much higher response times.
