    5 ms Response Time

  • One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to how long it takes pixels to turn from completely white to black and back again - the lower the milliseconds (ms), the faster the response time is. A fast 5 ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

    4 of 5 It's been a great first day! Friday, April 18, 2008
    Jeff Davis from Sugar Land Texas  

    This is my first HDTV. I've shopped for years. Read Forums after forums, been confused by all the info. I was very impressed by it's packaging. How easy it was to set up. Very easy to follow menus. I did not have HD Dish yesterday when it arrived so I plugged in a pair of Rabbit Ears. Let it scan for channels and then tuned in one of the local HD channels, oh my Gosh! It was incredible. I could see the pours in the actors skin, the skin tones were very smooth and the blacks are very black, yet on a black car I can see all the various tones. Today the DISH people showed up and changed out our standard box for a new ViP 622, hooked up via HDMI and WOW what a great picture. I tuned in a baseball game in HD, man I'm going to love this. SD TV still looks good, but HDTV ROCKS and this one does it the best I've seen. Great deal!
