Except the 5ms that the manufacturer reports has often been measured to be 15-19ms. They cheat on the specs and that's why making a statement '3 ms is like day and nite different from 5ms' is just not valid untill we're talking about real world measured refreshes.
I'll grant you that--as with anything manufactured the varibles will make up the total sum. But the advertised info does give some indication of what a device can/will do. The basic truth of the design is still valid.
Would you dispute that a 3ms response time IS NOT faster than a 5ms response time, given all else is equal?
I would like to believe that your position is not based on the basics of design but on the varibles surrounding the basic design, no? The reality of manufacturing is that 2 of the exact same design will not even measure out exactly the same........................s
o the question for us as humans is how far to the right do you want to push the "decimal point" of real-world measurement to satisfy one's definition of "real" & quantifiable?
Not pushing an argument here--am really trying to stop any from starting.
This very statement that I typed is the very reason why I went to a retailer who carries & sells the units that I was looking at to buy to see them up front & in operation.
I don't need to see the EXACT same unit, the same unit family is close enough for me (same features, design parameters, etc w/ the differences only in size & response times-the actual unit I'm buying has a FASTER response time so I expect the same quality as the example if not better).
So in the end of things the truth of this statement is really in the eyes of the beholder, no?
