I'm looking at new monitors...is there any real discernable difference between 8/5/2 ms response times? All seem like they would be fast enough that the human eye wouldn't notice a difference.
And are those 2 ms response times basically only achieved during gray-to-gray transitions?

Of course the human eye can notice a difference, and yes, the difference can be very visible. Response time, and to a (sometimes) lesser degree input lag are important things to look for if you're buying a monitor with the intention of playing games on it. Don't just take the number for granted, though; you will typically notice different levels of ghosting between monitors with the same labeled response time, even for 2 ms and 5 ms monitors. Beyond that, the colour representation, the backlighting, the calibration options and several other elements play just as big a part in determining whether or not a monitor is any good.-CARNIFEX-[LOC] wrote:

There are a few sites that do very thorough reviews of monitors, and you'd be best off browsing through their articles, and finding something that works for you. Don't settle for 4-5 page reviews and user feedback on product pages.
SyncToy is killing me. anyone using something similar? i'm trying to synchronize my "photo" folder between two drives, one's going back into my server . . .

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
Samsungs are a good, safe plan for the average consumer, eg someone who has to ask if there's a noticeable difference between 2 5 and 8ms.
A bit disappointing, the "750GB WD My Passport" that I bought my brother is broken after only 6 months. I am pleased with their 3 year warranty though.
The new line of passports are notoriously bad. I have one of their older line thats lasted over 3 years already and been through plenty of abuse
whew, just looked at the box, and it's a mybook essential. has a usb 3 connector.
you guys had me worried for a moment . . .

I have one of their older ones as well and it has been going well for 2+ yearsWinston_Churchill wrote:

I haven't owned monitors featuring all 3 refresh rates. In the past 6 years the two monitors I've used were 8 and 5 ms, respectively. And I can't exactly queue up Bad Company 2 on the local Microcenter's displays to see if there's ghosting...Finray wrote:
