5ms LCD monitors need to go. 2ms or faster should be made mainstream.

5ms, or looking at the UltraSharp LCD that Dell offers a pathetic 25ms is completely unacceptable.
Gamers need fast refresh rates.
And i mean FAST, like a CRT offers.

5-25ms wont do.

i'd consider switching to a LCD if you can come up with a 1-2 ms type. preferably 1 ms refresh rates.
And these monitors "do" exist.
Dell just doesn't offer them, at all.

The fastest available trough the dell site is 5 ms.
For a gamer, considering a XPS system, this won't do. (yeh im repeating myself)

Fast motion, scrolling, action shooters, RPGs, all have fast action on screen.
5ms or slower won't cut it, and cause the screen to go blurry.

Dell should offer faster options, or as stated earlier, offer more CRT options for high end computers like this.
Definitely no monitors with a ridiculous 25ms refresh rate,, WHAT are you thinking ?

Jan 10		 The new Dell Crystal is 2ms - a good step forward.

Jan 24		 "Fast" monitors have downsides, mostly to do with shadowing and with colour quality. They're usually not actually much faster, in reality, than ones rated considerably slower. If you see an LCD marketed as 1ms, you're looking at marketing lies and deception at best; in reality it'll be 1ms grey-grey response under certain ideal conditions, with five or more afterimages trailing along due to the overdrive, a shimmering effect due to motion prediction, and other issues.

That might be OK for games, but such panels really need to be optional, since they suck for almost anything involving colour quality or precise work.

Jun 4		 5 ms is fine. My Dell E248WFP widescreen flat panel LCD monitor is 5 ms and it is great!
