I have an opportunity to buy one of these monitors for about $650 (CND). 20", 1600x1200 native resolution, 16ms, RGB/DVI.

Right now, I'm using 2x17" CRT's. While this LCD monitor would be great for graphics, I'm a little concerned about the 16ms response time for games. I haven't seen any 20" LCD's with response times less than this. So I'm just wondering if this is indeed something that I should really be concerned about, or is there a very small noticable difference between a 16ms monitor with say, 12 or even 8ms LCD monitor?

Should I go for it?

16ms DVI is said to be the beter choice when compared to 12ms VGA pannels..

i cant comment simply because i still kick the CRT's...

If you do lots of graphics stuff on your comp I would recommend to stick with the CRTs. The colors are way better on them compared to LCDs...
