Fast response time

Response time measures signal reaction speed 
in milliseconds. On/off response time 
measures the time required for the screen to 
turn from completely white to completely 
black and vice versa. Fast on/off response time 
improves display of text. Gray-to-grey 
response time measures the average time of 

transition between several sets of random gray 
levels - Lower numbers mean faster 
transitions. Faster is better because a fast 
response time eliminates visible image artifacts 
that could dampen your experience when 
viewing fast moving images or objects.

Adjustable tilt

Adjustable tilt is backward and forward 
movement of a screen on its base to achieve
