    I want to buy a 19" or higher LCD display, and I game a lot.

    My understanding is that a lower response time (in ms) generally means faster screen draws and that a figure as low as 2ms is desirable. Is this accurate?

    Any recommendations for 19" LCD's with low response time? Any under $400? What about $300?

    Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions :)

    No, people used to say below 12, as monitors improved, peoples standards did as well. 8 ms would be my minimum. Your looking to avoid tearing and ghosting that is seen more with movies on slow response LCD's. It would have to be a real cheap clunker nowadays to be above 10-12 ms.

    You can get a Viewsonic 19" for less than $300, 8ms or less (at least, Newegg offerings). I have a Viewsonic and am quite happy with it except for the stuck pixels I can't seem to make go away.

    Dell has a 20" widescreen that is very nice. You can often find it for sale under the $400 mark.

    In fact they have a new one: E207WFP 20-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD.

    It's for sale for $289 and the reviews are quite favorable.
