2ms-5ms-50ms... my guess is that you wont see whos the 2 or 50 if you lined em up beside each other and didnt know who had different ms

ms= millisecond... also 1/1000th of a second, so if you press a icon on your screen with 5ms it takes 0.005 seconds for the screen to update your choice.

i tried a packard bell 24" LED screen... cost 300 euros... but my god what a crappy screen... traded it in for a ASUS 27" lcd, cost 35 euros more and never looked back

some easy math... not really relevant but hey... a human eye sees 60fps.. divide 60 on 1000 (a second) and you get 0.06 wich translates to 60ms.

also hertz (hz) is very important. most screens use 60hz.. 1 hz= one frameupdate per second, and again 60hz = 60fps on the monitor= optimal for the human eyes, but again, a higher hz will give you better flow on your screen as the monitor updates the images more frequently.

it basically comes down to the components in the screen.. not crt/lcd/led. never be cheap on a screen... as it decides your brains perception... and over time a cheaper screen could tire your brain more than say a more expensive one.

so MS= monitor lag
HZ= monitor FPS


sosh... this got long :O hope its for some help to you

one more tip... go for a 1900x1200 screen... not a 1080. in my oppinion 16:10 looks waaay better than 16:9
