Most flat-panel and LCDs today are more than adequate for computer games and any fast moving graphics. When looking for a flat-panel or LCD to purchase, look for the response time of the display, this value is listed in milliseconds. The lower this value is, the quicker the display refreshes, and the crisper your game or fast moving graphics appear.

For example, a display with an 8 ms response time is going to look better than a 35 ms response time. Below is a list of other common response times with flat-panel and LCD.

4 ms 5 ms 8 ms 12 ms 14 ms 15 ms 16 ms 18 ms 20 ms 21 ms 23 ms 25 ms 30 ms 35 ms
