Anyone have an LCD in their projector that has a 25ms response time? And do you have any noticable lag while gaming?

I have a 17" LCD monitor with a rated 25ms response. It blurs when you pan quickly, and sometimes you can lose the crosshairs in a "target rich environment" but overall, it's acceptable. It would bug me on a larger screen.

My projector LCD is 16ms, which is fine.

Well I'm going to be building a 17" projector and I was gonna use the Dell 1704FPV because it has a 1000:1 contrast ration. But I don't want any blurring while gaming so would you say it would be better to go with the Samsung 712N which has a response time of 12ms but has 600:1 constrast ratio? Would the constrast trade off be worth it?

600:1 contrast is very exceptable. I thought the dell had dvi output too though? I know the samsung doesnt or I would have bought one already. I still may but I am kind of contemplating the same thing as you, dont want ghosting in halo, or ghost recon.

I'd go with the 12ms panel for gaming. The 600:1 contrast is more than adequate.

Would there be a noticable difference between 600:1 and 1000:1?

Actually... Probably not. There SHOULD be, but I can look at a pair of LCD monitors in a store with those contrast ratios side by side, and not see a difference.

Any slight difference that it may make will be more than overcome by the faster response time. I can clearly see a difference when gaming between my 25ms 17" LCD and my 12ms 17" LCD. Thought he 25ms panel is acceptable, the 12ms panel is excellent. (Similar contrast ratios)

Oh ok cool, sounds good. Thanks.
