Hi. I want to buy a monitor to connect my Xbox One to. It has 7ms response time. Is that not enough for gaming?
If it's too much not too little you can get one that has 1-2Ms for 150 euro
That would somehow not be a gaming monitor.
But I don't think that you notice a big difference (says my experience)
You can use your TV for the Xbox doesn't matter.
These values are important to esports.
A 7ms monitor is usually sufficient.
However, the response time does not directly say anything about the input lag, which would be important for gaming.
The reaction time of the monitor is essentially the time it needs to switch from a white pixel to a black one, for example. This time is really striking but not necessarily for gaming - in the end it only brings a nicer picture at first.
What is more important in gaming is the frame time and it depends on the frame rate of the graphics card. At 50FPS, for example, exactly 20ms pass between two frames. A monitor with a response time of 7ms would change from one image to the other in 7ms, but the time between two images is 20ms, which means that these 7ms are not really important, since the latency alone is 20ms in the worst case, depending on whether the game synchronizes the cursor evaluation with the frame time or not.
In other words, if your frame times do not fall within the range of the response time, a low response time won't help you.
I can't really confirm or refute it for the XBox One, but consoles usually have a target frame rate that is more similar to TVs. In other words, consoles usually generate 30FPS or 60FPS. Since the frame time at 60FPS is around 17ms, you can get along well for a console with a 7ms monitor.
It would look different with 100FPS +, for example, where the frame time is already relatively close to 7ms, which means that the screen needs about as long to change the picture as the PC to calculate the new frame. Of course, you have to note that a 60Hz monitor can't display more than 60FPS anyway, but the frame time and thus the input lag can be lower at 100 or better 120FPS and the change time of the monitor plays a role.
As a pc gamer, I don't get anything over 1ms.
but on an xbox one usually connects television monitors to which are slower anyway. You have to decide how important it is to be able to react a little faster and what you use the monitor for.
