Today's Fastest Retail LCD
An anonymous reader writes "ViewSonic has recently released a very exciting product, a nineteen inch LCD display with a 3ms response time. This is the fastest LCD panel currently available to consumers, and it is clearly aimed at gamers and movie watchers. Dubbed the VX924, the display is part of ViewSonic's X series which tries to comnbine performance with style. The word on the street is that Samsung will have a 4ms display available this year, but this may be the only 3ms."
These can all be different for a given panel technology, and the manufacturer often picks the smallest. For some technologies, black to white and white to black are actually faster than gray to gray, but gray to gray is the most important for typical gaming or video use.
How freaking old is this article? The date on it is only Oct 21, so obviously it and the poster are completely misinformed. Both the ViewSonic VX924 AND the 4ms 19" Samsung 930BF have been out for months. I have a Samsung and it's great. As for the ViewSonic's 3ms response time... it's a marketing gimmick that exploits the fact that there's no standard measurement for grey-to-grey response time (ie - which shades of grey are used). It's really no faster than Samsung's model, which suffice it to say, is shockingly fast. I thought my 16ms Hitachi was great, but Samsung's 4ms panel blew me away.
