yeah, at the time it looked good, i'll go back over it, but in my defense, you really don't want anything higher than 8ms, reason being is if you find a monitor that has certain specs and has 12ms for response time, and you will more than likely be able to find a monitor that has the same or better specs at the same price only with 8ms. Also, response time is getting better all the time and it isn't really a price issue anymore, i bought my monitor like a year ago and it has 3ms for response time for a around $300. Now i can find a monitor that has way better specs and maybe a little worse or the same response time for half that price. So what i'm saying is if you really want to compete with a CRT then 8ms is about as high as you want to go.
