    Ghosting is apparent on monitors with slower than a 6ms response, but many don’t notice or aren’t bugged by this.
    That value is probably closer to 15ms than 6ms.

    6ms per frame = 167 FPS
    15ms per frame = 67 FPS

    Hence if you have a 60Hz monitor you aren't going to notice a response time of less than 15ms, you also didn't mention a common problem with those super lower response time monitors in that the methods they use to get that low often result in overshoot which makes colours look that shit and significantly increases response time in any changes that aren't grey to grey. Maybe that's why modern shooters are all grey's and browns?

    You also left out basically the most important aspect of purchasing a new LCD display, the display technology. I know it's an article from gamers perspective but surely you want your games to look the best and most of those numbers are just sales bullshit that often aren't representative of the actual performance.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing mandatory as to the methodology used by manufactures to measure contrast performance. Even worse, manufacturers are not obliged to specify the method used to arrive at the quoted figures.

    This renders a straightforward comparison of contrast performance figures between different imaging devices - especially from different manufactures - almost meaningless.
