monitor response time (ms)?
I found a monitor that I really like but it has 8ms response time. Is it a big deal? Will it make any difference if I get a 5ms or 1ms response time monitor?

Response time is the amount of time it takes for the pixels to change colors based on a rather nebulous standard for measurement.

Post what monitor you're looking at.

idk if it says it in this page but on the not english page from where I am buying it says it's a LCD/LED, IPS monitor with an 8ms response time, so does that mean it's gonna have a big difference because on the page you linked it says for an IPS panel normal response time is 4ms

I'm still running a Dell 2407 WFP 1920x1200 IPS that has a 6 ms response time (GtG) and it doesn't bother me a bit. http://www.dell.com/downloads/emea/products/snp/UltraSharp%202407WFP_EN.pdf

On more casual exploration games like Witcher 3 or Skyrim, no, go for high refresh rate monitors and not low-response time, cause for casual games you don't need fast response times.

On competitive First-Person-Shooters, yes, but only if you're already very skilled at the game, and even then, you'll get a way better improvement in visual quality and perception ingame from a 144hz monitor instead of low response time.

I assume it's IPS rather than TN. It's slower but got better viewing angles. As for how slow and how much it matter I don't know. I wouldn't want TN regardless. Some VA displays have high input lag.

8ms is usually VA, VA has higher response time hence ghosting.
