  response time / refresh rate important? How much?

  Posted by Larry Watts on April 22, 2007 at 2:15 pm

  Just how important is the response time / refresh rate in computer displays? I hear good things about the dell 2407 yet it response rate is 6ms.

  A trusted friend and long-time video pro says nothing under 8 ms.

  The apple cinema diplays are 16ms.

  If I am using a ntsc video monitor for critical viewing, then is it ok to get a monitor with a 5 or 6 ms response time?

  If you are using a monitor (as you should) for video output, why would you worry about the response time of the monitor? Can’t see the problem – and assuredly the Mac displays will get a performance upgrade soon anyway. Many people here swear by the Dells.

  Of course, the Cow knows if I’m wrong…
