Default 2ms vs 5ms

How big of a difference if any at all can you tell between these two? I am looking at getting a new monitor for gaming....

How fast are your responses? 5ms=1/200 sec, better than 200fps. Are you planning on that sort of frame rate?

2ms = 500hz refresh rate
5ms = 200hz refresh rate

But be aware that not all companies measure the time equally, Some measure the time between black and white and others measure the time between gray - gray or measure gray and another color. The 2ms is often a little bit more money because the refresh rate is faster, but unless your into high def games and dvds then you should'nt notice any difference between 5 ms and 2 ms providing you choose a decent brand, my personal fav is samsung, i'm getting this monitor http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MO-062-SA when ever i can get hold off a friend with a credit card :P whats your budget?

best bet would be going into your nearest computer store and asking them, also this way you can check for dead pixles and stuff there and then.
