CAPN STUBING:
True the lowest FPS during gameplay can easily be a deal breaker.
FLYBY:Hope my ramblings help....
"... Additional to GTG, isn't there a similar measurement for black to white? "
>> Been a while since I did my homework to learn bout all this, I suggest you search for the third party testers who actually have the fancy equipment, present the results of the various analysis/comparisons of monitors, as well as their informed explanation of the variables and terms. LCD's and CRT's pixles work totally different.
Current LCD technology cannot hold a candle to a decent CRT oy days gone by when it comes to gaming.
An example of what appears to be very good/informative type of metrics to consider:

Kudos to XBITLABS as I have always found their shootouts/analysis of videocards and monitors the most objective and thorough - suppported by hi tech analysis!
I recall that Toms Hardware might also have some thorough technical analysis. Be advised that I purchased a Viewsonic VX922 (rated 2ms) but prob averages round 6 on avg ( I don't recall) and am happy with it but miss my CRT for gaming
.
"I suppose anyone who can afford one might invest in a new lcd monitor capable of 120hz..."
>> From the initial snippets I read bout this monitor which is NOT available: I do NOT beieve it will be anywhere close to 120, I bet it will still be the 60 variety with some new gimmick/twist/alternating vertical interlacing/sumthin (sales puffing - misrepresentation). The same way these advertised 2ms LCD's don't present an average responsitivity any where near that. They never clearly define what the 2ms referrs to, it might be only one color gamut/hue/frequency/whatever of thousands which is the most responsive.
" I'll have to choose wisely...."
>>>Precisely, there is a lot of subjective "textual spewage " A.K.A. BS floating about, I prefer objective technical analysis, I try to select the best on paper, then compare them side by side and let my eyes decide.
YMMV
Be advised that a typically good LCD can appear shoddy due to a bad new cable, poor quality control, handling, some off the line are A++ some are not.
Hope to fly with you guys some time in UBI lobby, watch for me and give me a hollar!
