generally for response time you want to aim for 2ms for gaming. the more hz the better as well.

personally rather happy i managed to hunt down this 22" crt viewsonic a few years ago. a bigger widescreen panel is on the cards once the CoD beastrig as been acquired though.

But with HDTVs you got to consider input lag which has nothing to do with the panel response time. Some HDTVs have horrible input lag, which translate into sluggish response (read you move your stick and the visual representation of your airplane respond with a delay).

So an HDTV with a low input lag (and response time) is what hardcore gamers are looking for. Odly, the more Mhz (120+) you have the more prone to input lag a HDTV is. Must be in the image processing...

Read up on the link provided before... a lot of info there...
