That's interesting! But what does this mean in real gameplay? I mean, can I notice the difference between a 5 ms response time and another monitor with a slower response time?

It depends on your sensitivity to motion. Some people might not notice much of a difference at all, while others might be more sensitive to ghosting or blurring effects.

I've personally experienced the difference between a 5 ms response time and something slower. In fast-paced games like FPS and racing games, you can definitely tell the difference. Higher-end monitors with even lower response times feel incredibly smooth and responsive.

Wow, thanks for sharing your experience! So if I want to get the best possible gaming experience, should I go for the EW2480 or GW2480T?

It really comes down to personal preference. Both monitors are good choices for gaming, but the EW2480 has a slightly better refresh rate of 75 Hz compared to the GW2480T's 60 Hz. That might be more important for some gamers.

True! I've noticed that higher refresh rates make a huge difference in my games, especially when it comes to fast-paced action and less motion blur. I'd go with the EW2480 if I were you!

Alright, thanks everyone! I think I'll go for the BenQ 23.8" EW2480 then. I appreciate all your input!
