    Very :) If its too high you will get ghosting and nasty looking pixels just because screen won't cope with fast games like Q3/UT. Sometimes if screen if really shitty you can see than on movies even ;)

    I would go for a bit smaller and better specs:

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...6BW 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black

    Good 24" is more than £400 I'm afraid.

    /EDIT

    Of course too high ;)

    Still matters which response time is quoted G to G usually is the best to know and have it as low as its possible.

    What spoon.uk means is if response time is too high you'll see ghosting. However you tend to also want to avoid the other extreme, because last time I checked, the panels that are reporting response times of say, 2ms as opposed to 8ms tended to be a good bit lower quality, simply to satisfy the hyper-fast response time rates. Anything below 16ms should be fine.
