LCD Screens. Acceptable Response Times????
« on: August 30, 2008, 08:00:07 am »
Ive been doing abit of reading up on the whole, S-IPS, PVA/MVA, and TN Panel subject (thanks to Blanka for bring these different Panel technology to my attention, never knew about different panel types before) and it would seem they all have their pros and cons! Fair enough the S-IPS technology gives the best viewing angles and accurate colours, but thats about it over a TN panel, which generally has faster response times, greater contrasts, and cheaper, with PVA/MVa falling between the 2 but with worse response times that the other 2 tecnologys. The best response time ive seen for a S_IPS panel is 12 ms.

I know when i was looking for a HDTV for my Xbox 360, i was recommended not to get a TV that had a higher response time than 8 ms!!!, now i know this is for modern day gaming, but what sort of response time would you need for MAME gaming, would a response time of 12 or 16 give ghosting effects?

I know sometimes these response times are recorded form a pixel going from one end of the spectrum to the other, ie black to white.  Which for every day Modern gaming stuff doesnt happen to often, BUT pixels going from one spectrum extreme to the other would be more appropriate to old school gaming, would you agree???

I would consider ghosting effects to be more of a problem than viewing angels or colour accuracy, which makes me think that a TN panel would be the better option than a S-IPS or PVA/MVA panel for a Vertical 'Bartop' project?

Search under 'LCD response time', 'response time', etc. Personally, I wouldn't use anything with more than 8 for anything.
