    Anyone Have a Viewsonic VP912b?

    Hi,

    I just got a VP912b off of newegg and they claim 12ms responce time and all this wizbang performance but my looks like it ghosts a bit. I can't set the DVI input to anything other than 60hz. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have their DVI output set to anything other than 60hz on their LCDs?

    I have a GeForce 5200 FX card.

    Then I guess spec'ing a responce time of 12ms is False Advertising.

    TFT LCD’s typically operate at 60Hz and when the image on the screen changes, only the affected pixels on the display are altered. The rest remain unchanged. But changing pixels takes time to alter from one state to another, this is commonly called rising and falling (remember pixels=transistors in TFTs). The time the pixels take to rise or fall is then referred to as the response time. The smaller the response time, the faster the pixels can change and this will result in less of the ghosting effect.
