5ms on/off response time
On-Off response time is the period required
for a liquid crystal cell to go from active (black)
to inactive (white) and back to active (black)
again. It is measured in milliseconds. Faster is
better: Lower response time means faster
transitions and, therefore, results in fewer
visible image artifacts in the display of
transition of texts and graphics. On-Off
response time is a more important measure in
the display of business content like documents,
graphs and photos.
