Response Time

pc

Response time is the duration it takes for a pixel in an LCD display to change from one color to another.

expanded

Response time, often measured in milliseconds (ms), is crucial for minimizing motion blur and ghosting in LCD displays. It defines the speed at which a display can update its screen image, making it particularly important in contexts such as gaming or high-speed video playback where rapid changes in display content occur.

examples

A Dell Alienware AW2521H monitor has a response time of 1ms.

This is commonly used during competitive gaming where fast pixel response times minimize motion blur.

The ASUS ROG Swift PG259QN features a 1ms response time designed to enhance fast-paced gameplay.

Utilized in gaming environments to improve visual clarity during rapid in-game motions.
