7ms for gaming?

[megadarkwood]

Is 7ms response time too much for gaming?

I was looking at this: http://www.futureshop.ca/en-ca/product/hewlett-packard-hp-20-ips-led-backlit-monitor-with-7ms-response-time-20bw-20bw/10241328.aspx?path=a882c9fd07fee45ff69e2f67589ea7bcen02

No, no its not.

You're eye ball won't even be able to tell the difference.

You have to do artificial tests that you will never encounter while using it to see the difference.

...too much response time?

[Scia]

Switched from a 2ms to a 8ms screen recently [Yay wqhd / pls] and tbh I can't tell a difference in response time ^^

[M-ursu]

no, but CoolBeans grandma is still faster.

7ms is good enough i used a "fast" for it's time 12 ms monitor and i switched to a 8ms ( Dell did some magic so it's a 5 ms ), there is a difference, but older monitors lied about specs a lot of the time, so i would say you are safe with 7 today, they are more accurate.

I have a question:

Why do you want this monitor, is it cost or your GPU is not strong enough for full HD resolution?

I must say most monitors that have 1600x900 are low in volume and needlessly expensive vs a 720p monitor, this is an odd resolution

My laptop can handle 2 of those monitors, its just that its in my budget and matches my laptop

OH ok than man, it's fine, 7ms will do you well, don't worry, you will be able to play nicely!!

7ms is absolutely fine, my main monitor is 8ms and I don't even notice a difference compared to the secondary 2ms monitor (with anything, not just gaming).

if you are getting a monitor for a laptop, then what are you going to do with your laptop screen? take it off? Otherwise it is going to get in the way of your new monitor.

Here I explain why you should not worry about response time.

Good info here.

Response time is mostly nonsense.
