The video card doesnt care how big the screen is. It will draw for example - 1280x1024 - at the same framerate on a 22" as on a tiny 14". It has to output the same number of pixels regardless of the real screesize. Thats really where you get into that "response time" thing. How fast are the pixels refreshed - every 5 microseconds or every 2? If you figure 5 microseconds - that means its updating the PIXELS 200 times a second. At an "average" of 60 frames per second gaming - its refreshing the pixels a little over three times per frame. At 2 microseconds your getting a pixel refresh (or change) up to 500 times per second. Thats 8+ times per frame rendered. Are you really going to notice the difference? The human eye is only so quick - most people can't tell a framerate difference above 60 - can they tell an individual PIXEL change 3x (or 8x) times faster?

Not this guy.
