Default Samsung SM223BW, any good?

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132860

i can get this monitor for £160, is it any good for gaming? also what is the contrast ratio on it. some places say 3000:1 others say 1000:1.

also, how much diffrence will 5ms over 2ms response time make?

thanks

Ok, once you hit below 8 or 6 ms on the LCDs there really isn't much difference. On the other hand monitors are faster but more bulky and not as pretty. So if you have a monitor that works just fine stick with it if you are gaming... IF you have loads of money and want a pretty LCD go ahead and get that one it will be nice, I LOVE my Samgung 226BW.... I game but my monitor went out last summer and I couldn't find a decent one so I went with the Samsung..
