How's my LCD?

[snowysnowcones]

Hey all,
For a Christmas gift in 2005, I got my first LCD monitor, due to needing space desperately on my desk. The monitor I got was a 17" Hyvision, with an 8ms response time and a 500:1 contrast ratio (although it said 400:1 on the box :/ ), for $200, which was a steal at the time. When I picked out the monitor, I really didn't know much about LCD's, judging my pick on Newegg reviews.
Well, I decided to test how good my monitor actually is, I downloaded the highly popular program "PixPerAn", and took the screenshots of the person in the car saying " I need more socks". This is what it came up with...

Now, I really doubt that this is 8ms... what do you guys think it is? 16? 24? Or did something go wrong in the program? Any other programs I can test my lcd with?

Thanks!

My monitor is a 16ms panel (the dell 2007wfp) and it doesn't ghost quite as much as that from what I've seen.. but its similar.

As per the response time.. many makers posted black to white times.. and not gray to gray times.. so it gets confusing.. I wouldn't say its a bad display but there are certainly better out there

There is nothing wrong with the program though.. thats just what your monitor displays..
