    Told by the people selling 2ms monitors and others who believed them?

    I've had my Dell Ultrasharp 24" (AM TFT) for a long time and loved it.
    6 ms typical (Grey to Grey) / 16 ms typical (Black to White)

    You also have to be careful with the whole grey to grey thing since that's really an optimal case scenario and any comp sci or engie can tell you, you don't really want to bet on optimal situations.

    I wouldn't mind an upgrade to an IPS panel, though not sure I want to look at the price.

    Reminds me of Sales people pitching the whole PMPO Watt output versus actual RMS Watt output.

    I remember back in the day, the "BIG" Hifi systems claiming they can push 5000 WATT PMPO but in real life only about 10W RMS...

    Sigh..... damn sales people.....

    Yeah I remember that, pretty much the same story, you just pick a number or measurement that makes you look good even if it means nothing performance wise.

    Agreed. Most of the time the unnecessary 'features' and 'specs' thrown out just confuse the hell out of me, and I'm in a greater position of unease about the product I'd like to purchase.

    Also, it is only when I'm shopping/browsing for something that this happens. When I'm using the new piece of shiny tech, most of that mumbo jumbo sales talk is forgotten, and I either end up with a shit item or one that actually meets my expectation of use.
