I'm currently looking into buy an lcd screen. The one I looked at the most is the samsung 172t. I am a fairly moderate gamer, I game maybe .75-1.5 hours a day. I play far more often when I have a game that I absolutely love. My taste is games is pretty much mmorpg's and some fps and rts here and there. Although I am currently really enjoying the Planetside beta and looking forward to doom 3.
Anyways that was alot of rambling, but I was wondering if the ghosting on a samsung 172t would be apparent in games such as doom 3 and planetside, or even shadowbane? I looked at both the samsung 172t and the nec 1760nx at my local frys. I would go for the nec 1760 nx but i'm one of the people who find the fact that the bottom half of the screen being brighter then the top half is unforgivable when paying 500+ for a monitor. So does anyone here have any idea of when sub 20ms samsung lcds will be available or if I should even bother waiting for one? Will the ghosting/trailing in the games I mentioned be noticeable at all? I have talked to many ppl who say that 25ms response is perfectly fine, and many have also said that it is not. Thnks alot for all the help, and plz don't flame me too badly for being an idiot (i know literally no one with an lcd and don't know where I can test them).
