1ms>4ms?
In PC gaming, a 1ms response time can indeed matter more than 4ms. It may improve performance and responsiveness, so it’s worth considering if you’re looking for better gameplay.
At lower frame rates, you wouldn't see any blurring unless the display had a very high refresh rate.
For top players it matters, otherwise it doesn't. Doesn't change anything.
It varies based on your gaming experience. Generally, aim for a monitor with less than 6ms response time. A 1ms improvement can be noticeable, though it's not drastic for those new to gaming on a screen.
Manufacturer guidelines about response time are mostly misleading. It doesn’t really matter. It’s better to look at real reviews that check input latency and pixel response for a clearer picture. In short, anything under 16ms works well on a 60Hz monitor, and below 25ms is ideal for a TV.
Technically it reflects the reaction speed, not just input delay. They don’t always report a maximum-to-greatest time, which is why I advise disregarding manufacturer claims about response time. It’s wiser to rely on reviews that specifically test it, allowing you to compare different brands using consistent testing methods. Most reviewers measuring pixel response will list detailed transition times for each color shift, such as 0-80% and 80-100%, and often add actual input latency tests in their findings. Response time equals how quickly a pixel changes color, measured in pixels per second. A higher value can cause ghosting or blurring, while a lower number means smoother transitions. Input lag refers to the delay between an action and its visual effect, like a mouse click followed by a shot.
