When LCD screens were first released, they were often rated in excess of 20ms. With the release of the new Samsung P2770FH LCD which is rated at 1ms it shows how fast the world of technology moves.
Samsungs director of display marketing Young Bae issued a statement “a prime example of Samsung's leadership in display engineering, and creative professionals and computer gamers seeking the best possible viewing experience will immediately appreciate its benefits.”
Currently there are quite a few 2ms screens on the market, but this release from Samsung is the first 1ms screen to be announced … twice as fast as competiting panels. While we haven't seen it in the flesh, Samsung claim that this completely eliminates motion blur and ghosting effects.
In the press release Samsung also state that the panel “contributes to smoother video playback, making it ideal for reviewing family movies or compiling the latest vacation memories.”
The screen is a 27 inch 1080p model which features a 70,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Samsung are also stating that the colour gamut range is higher than most monitors in this price sector. Connectivity is catered for with DVI-I, HDMI and weirdly enough, dying analog VGA support. Optical digital audio can be carried over to an external amplifier.
UK pricing has yet to be confirmed but it will launch in the US at around $400, which we would guess means UK prices of around £250 inc vat.
KitGuru says: Is this now on your shortlist?
AWESOME NEWS ! I have really sensitive eyes and can see ghosting with 2ms panels. I just need to persuade a local dealer to stock it so I can see it before buying. Sometimes claims are inaccurate, but with Samsung they are normally honest.
Only Samsung would have a 1ms response LCD panel!
Here’s to hoping they got rid of that horrible floral pattern design on the back of their LCD’s
1ms…thats all well and good but I wish manufacturers would start posting details of overall input lag, that is of more importance to gamers.

The Iiyama Prolite E2773HDS-B that i am using right now is 27″ and 1ms too.I got it yesterday and it seems to have a better response and picture quality than both my previous samsung XL2370 and samsung 226BW monitors.
