Gnr Monitor Response time
« on: January 19, 2006, 03:58:45 PM »
Hi
I have a Gnr 19 " monitor, But have no idear what response time it is. Its not the TFT flat screen its the older monitor big bulky one. Its just i have built a new rig for gamming and have been told that the response time of your monitor is important...is this true? people say 8mm is good for games. How will i find out the response time of the monitor i have? its got no model number or anything on it. Cheers for any help.

Not mm (milimeters), ms (milliseconds).  Response time is only an issue with LCD's (flat panels).  There is no response time for a CRT, because they are still faster than LCD's

Pixel-response rate: This refers to how quickly a pixel can change colors, measured in milliseconds (ms); the fewer the milliseconds, the faster the pixels can change, reducing the ghosting or streaking effect you might see in a moving or changing image. In general, manufacturers' specifications rely on best-case scenarios; real-world performance could be slower. A maximum of a 12ms-to-15ms response time across the spectrum is required for gaming or viewing television and movies without ghosting or streaking.

Yes, that is a CRT, and overall they are better than LCD's for gaming. Have fun!  ;)
