Is 23ms a good response time for a large LCD monitor?
 

As title...

As far as "marketing figures" go, it is certainly towards the better end of the market, but you might want to read this article, the stated response time does not give an overall representation of the responsitivity of the monitor.

as dr.wadd says, the response time is one of the marketing tricks most commonly abused... usually by quoting just the lead-in or lead-out instead of the two together which is the most useful figure.

if the 23ms is actually right, thats pretty good for a 19/20"+ monitor.. but there are 12ms screens on their way soon.. it might be worth saving those pennies for a while ;)

It's a 40" widescreen monitor running at 1280x768. :erm:
I intend to use it as a TV, plugged into my graphics card's DVI port because I would get better quality than a regular CRT TV using the TV-out.

16mS is possible (but expensive):

All that for just over £3700! (you could buy a half decent second hand car for that) ;)

Rich, I'd wait until some reviews crop up (unless you found some? I couldn't!) before buying that.

Well I was going to go for a Philips 30" LCD TV which had excellent reviews but it only supports 1024x768 for the PC input despite it having a native resolution of 1280x768... which I assume would mean bad image quality or a regular 4:3 image.

I'm still trying to decide what to do, I just bought a 19" black CRT monitor from OCUK so I might just stick with that for a while.

23ms is fine. Mine is 25ms.

1280x720 is the resolution for 720i / 720p HDTV. You don't really need higher than that at this point, considering even a DVD isn't even that resolution.

3,700 pounds seem to be on the expensive side tho... They go for about $5,000 US here.

$5000 US is only 1200 quid cheaper because the dollar is so weak ;) He could order it from the USA, but he'd have to pay all manner of import charges and VAT and risk it being seized never to be seen again by our wonderful customs people.
