HDTV question

[UNDERTAKER]

Hi guys :wve:


I am getting a brand new HDTV and have decided to maybe go for the 26" Samsung LCD:

Samsung is the HDTV supplier used by Microsoft for all it's demo kiosks etc. My question is about the response time. My price range can only go to about £600 max. The response time of this tv is 12ms. Is this good for gaming?

Thanks

I haven't got a clue, but that's almost the same model as mine, you copycat! :D

Why don't you shell out a little extra and get the freeview model? It's a nice TV by the way. :tmb:

Source: CNet Monitor buying guide (http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-7610_7-5084364-3.html) Pixel-response rate (http://www.tombraiderforums.com/): This refers to how quickly a pixel can change colors, measured in milliseconds (ms); the fewer the milliseconds, the faster the pixels can change, reducing the ghosting or streaking effect you might see in a moving or changing image. In general, manufacturers' specifications rely on best-case scenarios; real-world performance could be slower. A maximum of a 12ms-to-15ms response time across the spectrum is required for gaming or viewing television and movies without ghosting or streaking. We've only just begun to see LCDs with superfast pixel-response times, such as Samsung's SyncMaster 172X (http://reviews.cnet.com/Samsung_SyncMaster_172X/4505-3174_7-30597293.html?tag=more) and BenQ's FP767-12 (http://reviews.cnet.com/BenQ_FP767-12/4505-3174_7-30638486.html?tag=more).
