Hi guys,

i am new to laptops and i just ordered my i-9300 mainly for gaming. i chose the wxga+, now i am concered about its response rate. will it be too slow to play fast-paced 3D games?

what about xuxga+? does it have a faster response rate?

i checked the FAQ but there is nothing there about response rates.

if you are also using wxga+ and dont know the response rate, can you please tell me if there is any ghosting going on?

- thank you very much for your time and response

If anything I suspect it is slightly better than WUXGA.

While I don't know the answer to your question (I too am curious) I have a feeling these guys that are so critical of the displays would be screaming bloody murder if there was ghosting on top of sparkles. Just a guess.

Not sure of the response time, I'm pretty fine with my WUXGA, my hardcore CS:S friends couldn't find a fault with my notebook paired with the Razor Diamondback and they're impressed by my i9300 so much that 3 already ordered theirs to replace their desktop since they always go for competitons twice a month.

Most laptop panels I had a look for on the web were 25ms - ie nothing fantastic but there are definitely "well done" 25ms panels out there that people game on.

However, the key is that no one is forthcoming about the number, meaning Dell. If its 25ms no one talks about it. If its 16ms or better it gets right out on the spec list. So that's probably not a good sign if they aren't talking about it.

However, 25ms can be well done and the gamers out there seem to be doing just fine on this screen, and are more worried about the shinyness or sparkles than the gaming response. So if you are ok with the two issues above I'd bet you'll find the gaming to be quite fine on them wxga or wuxga, either.

Supposedly the Samsung K9922 is a 20ms screen and the others (Samsung K9975 and LG Philips) are 25ms. So, to get a more definitive answer, somewhere between 20ms and 25ms. I can play ANY high paced game and have no ghosting at all. I can move windows around like crazy and still no ghosting. The screen is fast enough for gaming, IMHO.

er.. It's possible to see ghosting when you drag windows around on the very best panels available today... at least I can.

Try scrolling slashdot.. now there's screen blur.


25ms is the standard for portable panels these days, pretty much.. no one much cares to make faster panels for notebooks.

I do have the Samsung panel. I started with the LG though.

I have to say, I do see some ghosting if I move the windows quickly or scroll really quickly. But seriously, I physically can't read the windows moving them at that speed.

For gaming, there will be an adjustment period. I used a CRT monitor until I got my XPS Gen 2, so it took me a while to get used to the LCD. In my opinion, the high resolution and widescreen aspect ratio overshadow the slower response time. I would say that the XPS 2 has improved my gaming skills thanks to the high resolution.

I have the LG on my 9300 and it's fine enough for gaming. I play CS:S all the time (I'm pretty hardcore) and I don't notice any ghosting (if I don't notice it, then it doesn't bother me while gaming.) As for sparkles, not that big of a deal for me. It catches my eye everyonce in a while, but doesn't kill my eyes. I rarely notice any sparkling while gaming. Just to see differences in screens, I'm going to plug in my Samsung 710-2N (17" Analog LCD, native 1280x1024, 12 ms response time) into my 9300 and have both my laptop and the LCD output the same exact video. (So that I basically have 2 screens show the exact same thing.) I'll report back with my findings.

About sparkles though, I went to Best Buy the other day and took a look at a Sony glossy screen (people say Sony screens are the best.) I opened up a new notepad txt document and Lo and Behold! Sparkles! Yes. I noticed sparkles. Just thought I'd share that.

Keep in mind, Samsung's 25ms might be better than LG's 20ms (or vice-versa). Each company can measure the response time in whatever way they desire since there is no standard method. This is why some displays that claim 16ms have slight ghosting while some displays with 25ms have none.

I notice no difference between my old CRT and my new Samsung WXGA+. The only annoyance was horizontal tearing due to the low 60 hertz refresh rate, but that can easily be cured by turning on Vertical Sync.
