OMG! I just found an awesome LCD monitor!

These pics were taken with a crappy digital camera too!

Now I've gone and ejaculated on myself. GREAT!

Why would that be?

Because in order to get those fast response times, manufacturers use 6 bits per color instead of 8 bits, resulting in poorer colors.

Bingo!

Brights (explosions and such) will wash out quickly, losing fine details.

I hope you know that you'll be sacrificing IQ for that quick response time... Best to find a happy medium.

Tom's Hardware did a review (they are the best reviewers of monitors in my estimation) and didn't find very glaring color issues. Read for yourself.

Okay.

So what -is- the best happy medium? 4ms? 8ms? Or does it vary by manufacter?
