16ms vs 12ms?

I'm sure there's a difference between a 25ms and a 16ms, but is 12ms really much different then a 16ms when it comes to gaming? Sony makes a nice 19 inch LCD that is 12ms, but the resolution is only 1280x1024. I currently have a 19 inch CRT Sony that does 1600x1200@75, although I usually run it at 1280x960. Getting the 19 inch sony LCD would only give me a bigger display with the same resolution I have now. I'm looking at the Viewsonic VP201b, because it's a 20 inch that does 1600x1200@75 and 85hz for lower resolutions, but it's only 16ms. Anyone have any insight, or should I just get a new 21 inch CRT?
 
Response time is a relative term and means different things to different companies. Whether or not a game will have ghosting depends on many factors, including response time and contrast ratio.
I'm fairly confident that any 16ms or better monitor with at least 400:1 contrast ratio will have very little if any ghosting, but again it depends on the particular monitor you're looking for. It's best to go read the Newegg reader reviews and see what they say about ghosting on the monitor, be sure to read lots of reviews so you're sure.
 
Viewsonic for me is one the best monitor companies out there in my terms. They have released 8ms monitors for this year and 16-12ms for there new 19inch LCD monitors.
