Do any LCD's < "16ms" still have blurring with motion?

[Lou]

I am not sure if what I am asking about is called "blurring", but when I
tried a 16ms or higher monitors in games (or on the desktop moving around an
object like an open window), with a medium/slow motion I noticed objects (or
text when moving on desktop) look a bit out of focus.
I had a 20.1" 16ms LCD (Viewsonic VP201b) and a CRT monitor both
connected to the same PC in dual monitor extended mode and when dragging a
window back and forth across both the LCD and the CRT screen I could see
the slight out of focus (mainly with small text) on the LCD but not on the
CRT.

I like the picture quality of the LCD (and its space savings) but the out of
focus problem bugs me enough to not want to replace my CRT.
I have not seen any of the 12ms or 8ms LCD's in the local retail stores
so I have not been able to test to see if they have the same out of focus
(blurring?) with motion.

Will the 12 or 8ms monitors (19") still have the out of focus problem with
motion?

Thanks,
Lou

in my experience text is what LCDs do best, with CRTs failing at high
resolutions... were you running off a DVI port at the LCD's native
resolution...? did it have the same problem when running by itself or
only when spanned next to the CRT?

It's not very noticeable so maybe most people would not notice the blurring
unless they had a good CRT next to the LCD to compare.
First I had the Viewsonic VP201b (16ms) connected to an ATI X800 XT PE
graphics card DVI output running at the LCD's native resolution 1600x1200 @
60hertz. I tried playing a 3d game (UT2004). I did not really notice what I
believe is ghosting, but a slight out of focus of objects when moving even
at fairly slow speeds. I then connected the CRT to run as an extended
Windows desktop with the LCD and moved an open window box back and forth
between the two monitor screens. When moving the window box across the CRT
the text stayed in focus , but when on the LCD screen the text looked
slightly out of focus.
I then went to a computer store and tried moving a window box across the
screens of several 20 and 16ms LCD and had the same out of focus text when
moving. They did not have any LCD's rated faster than 16ms.
