"Let's make this clear from the start. The ViewSonic VP171b has been recently upgraded from a 16ms panel to an 8ms one. This should be sweet music to those who keep a close eye on such details, especially those who claim that they can notice differences in response time when gaming and watching movies. I for one am a little sceptical that this actually makes a discernable difference during the heated battles of high intensity gaming - surely you should be concentrating on taking out the villains rather than measuring the miniscule motion trails left by your targets?" Gamers take note, if you have been avoiding an LCD due to lagging response time, here is an upgrade for you. The reviewer is a little skeptical that anyone could notice the difference, what do you think?
