how does 3d gaming look on a monitor with 30ms timings?

chips2481

I was thinking of buying a monitor that has 30ms timings. Right now I have a dell with 20ms and it does the job pretty good. Does anyone use a monitor with 30ms right now? If you do how is it with games?
This monitor is a very expensive monitor with a very good color depth. So basically I am trying to find out if 30ms is too much for 3d. I would buy a faster monitor but I have a monitor that was $2000 in its time and the color quality far from anything is out today.

Answer
monitors for good color accuracy will always be poor for gaming. i went with a compromise and went with a samsung 215TW. its an 8bit LCD with full color range, but still has a respectable 16 or 20ms timing.

2ms and 5ms timing avoid those like the plague, they use TN panels which are garbage for color.

LCD monitors, Difference between 5ms and 2ms ?

koregtr

I know the technical difference.. but is there a 'real' noticeable difference when gaming ? or general use ?

or am I just paying an extra 100$s + for something I wont notice hardly at all ?

thanks

Answer
It's not worth the extra $100 for that feature alone and believe you would see no difference by eye. It might, however, be worth it to see if that is the only reason the monitor is $100 more. Maybe the color is better or it is LED backlit. LED backlighting alone is worth the extra cost if you ask me.

How important is a monitor's response time for watching movies?

I understand that response time is important for gaming, but how important is it for movies? Is 2ms very different than 5ms? My monitor is 2ms, but it stopped functioning, so I'm concerned that if I buy a monitor with 5ms, the difference will be noticeable.

Answer
The human eye can only see about 25 frames per second (in fact, a movie is just 25 still pictures showing every second). This means that anything less than 40ms is going to appear instantaneous to you. It's physically impossible for you to notice a 3ms delay.

Answer
It is unlikely that you'll see much difference in response time between 2 and 5 ms, unless you're really fine-tuned for it. It's the grey-to-grey time which is important when watching movies, not the black-to-black. You should be fine with the 5 ms screen.

I hate ghosting, but if I won't notice it either way then it's a moot point. Is there that much of a difference?

PS - Is ASUS a good monitor company?

Answer
i use the samsung SyncMaster 940bw which has 4ms response time, and ive never once had problems with ghosting.

Answer
Anything better than 6ms and VERY few people can see the difference. If you are looking for the best monitor buy a DELL!!! They guaranty that there will not even be ONE dead pixel the ONLY band that gives that guaranty... I saw someone said too buy a ViewSonic... I live in Taiwan where they are made! DO not buy one!!! 70% of my customers have problems with them at some point in their life.

before you can click your fingers both monitors would be on
so i don't think you would notice the difference

What brand of LCD TV would work best as a computer monitor?

Gonna be building a brand new computer almost specifically for gaming and want to know if anyone has any input with experiences on different TVs. The computer I am currently using is hooked up to a 26" vizio and while its okay I'm looking to go to something in the 40" range since im getting the new comp. Would really appreciate some suggestions and certain specifications that are a must have for this new TV. Thank you in advance!

Plasma is the only way to go for gaming. Get a 42" 1080p Plasma by Panasonic, its the smallest they make, with a 15.8 GBps or greater transfer rate HDMI cable. Panasonic bought Pioneer's panel technology when they went out of business. Plasmas don't have that screen burn issue any more either. Plasmas have 0.00001ms or something like that pixel response, and true 600hz refresh rate. (600 pictures per second). Remember, your taking 1,920 pixels by 1,080 pixels and putting them on a screen, the bigger the screen, the bigger the pixels are getting. Stretching the picture, thus giving you a fuzzier image. The rumors that its all about viewing distance, response 5ms response time tv's being adequate, that the human eye cannot detect anything past 60 HZ are reviews from retards. I have tested many tv's, and the differences are HUGE, there is a very noticeable difference between 2ms and 1ms response time monitors. The problem with 240hz and 120hz tv's is its all picture processing and creates a fair amount of input lag and unnatural movement. LCD's are terrible for gaming, no matter what the refresh rate or pixel response time and will ALWAYS suffer from motion blur, very noticeable in first person shooter games, the background will get very distorted whenever you move. If you want a small screen, benefit would be a very sharp picture and less money, get a Samsung 2770FH monitor, its a 27", with a 10.2 GBps transfer rate HDMI cable, and be sure to set the response time setting to fastest. They are a 1ms pixel response time monitor, 60hz which is ps3's native output refresh rate, and the reason pixel response is important is because the lower the response time, the sharper the picture stays. Get internet that is at least 1 mega byte download speed, and always set whatever screen you get to game mode.
