Refresh Rate? Response Time?

Higher refresh rate is more important than response time.

 

A high response time increases motion blur, but response time numbers don't really represent the actual response time so they're fairly useless. Contrary to popular belief, response time is not latency, it is not the delay between pressing a button and seeing it happen on the screen.

 

Both are obviously fairly important. I do own a 144hz/1ms monitor, but I don't think 5ms is that bad. I almost require 144hz in a monitor though, which is unfortunately the reason why I'm sticking away from 4K, as much as I want to try 4K :(

 

@Glenwing Thanks for the info, really helped me understand it more clearly.

 

@Jedicake I would too if it were a little be cheaper and for the reason you stated haha...
