whitefoxxx: yes thats what i ment so is the lower the number the better it is?

Don't worry about it current LCD's are all fine. People tend to base their opinions on out of date information, early LCDs with response times upwards of 20ms were noticibly bad at keeping up with full motion video or games, but the manufacturers have since fixed that.

My first LCD was a 12ms Philips and it plays games and videos perfectly, I regularly attend LAN's ( monthly) and noone has ever had a negative comment about it. I now have two monitors with 8ms and they are both excellent.

Yes smaller is better, but don't get too hung up on it. Anything 8ms or under is good enough for most people - some can possibly see the difference but I stongly suspect most can't ( you always get some people who claim they can see or hear things that it's highly dubious they really can, often mistaking other issues for the ones in question )
