text: how to choice lcd or monitar tv for computers?   basically if you are going to do any gaming or applications that require a fast response time you will want something that has a response time of less than or around 16ms and if it isn't you may experience a ghosting effect which causes blurry images on fast moving sequences.  but i'll tell you this is subjective.  my 17" samsung monitor has a refresh rate of 35ms and i have never noticed any ghosting with games such as half life 2 or doom 3.  some people are more sensitive to it than others so if you aren't sure look at the monitor in a store before you buy.
