Due to the fact that your ping will 99 times out of 100 be over 5ms I doubt that low response time is going to affect anything.
Uh... ping has absolutely nothing to do with monitor response time...

A slow response time can sometimes lead to ghosting, where previous images are "left behind" because it doesn't refresh quick enough. 5ms won't be a problem,  but something like 8+ wouldn't be that good for gaming. But if its of awesome quality then sometimes that rule is lax.

Anywho, 5ms won't effect anything except e-pen.
8ms+? Anything under 20 will work for gaming, really. I've played BF2 on a 30ms monitor from 1999, and it wasn't that horrible, really. Looks a bit like motion blur
Well, you also settle with 10fps too...

Dell's been making stuff similar to this for years - it's only now that they've actually become powerful ,)

I was wondering when a company like DELL would do this. I'm sure quite a few will buy! Looks great, but I still think the iMac looks better. Shame that it is only 20", when a lot of people's monitors are now 22" and 24".

Clarification: this is a fancy, schmancy show-off word processing rig,.

They haven't even mentioned what video card it has. It's clearly not for gaming, even if it is branded as XPS. Besides, are you joking man. 5ms is crap?

Some people just make me laugh
I believe it's an integrated. Check Dell's site.

Should've used a CRT.

2ms TBH. And this computer is not a gaming rig.

Looks nice enough for general internetting/WP etc, but yes, it clearly isn't a gaming machine.
