Best LCD Monitor without Ghosting

[hanguolaohu]

I just purchased a Samsung 910t LCD monitor to use as a 2nd monitor for Final Cut Pro video editing. While editing a fast action sequence I noticed that the monitor has ghosting issues that not only distort the action, but give me a headache. While doing web research, I discovered that the Samsung 910t has a 25ms response time. I never noticed the ghosting on my powerbook G4 LCD, and was wondering whether anyone knows what the response time on the built-in LCD is.

I’m considering exchanging this monitor for the Samsung 710t, which has a 12ms response time. Does anyone have any experience with 12ms monitors while doing fast-paced video editing? I would believe that 12ms response time should be sufficient to eliminate ghosting, as the 20+ inch Apple LCD monitors all have a 16ms response time, and I’m certain that Apple would design those monitors with video editors in mind.

Thanks,
Alex

Re: Best LCD Monitor without Ghosting

The 712N is a really good monitor (12ms) and its on sale at best buy right now for $250 with mail in rebait. Its really a good deal esp for a 2nd monitor. The only downside is that there is no DVI. I have not done any editing on one but i have seen games played on on and there is no ghosting at all.
