2ms better than 8ms?

Find one in a local store, and have a look at it.
The specs they give today, are virtually worthless as
a means of evaluating monitors. Viewing one in person
is much more meaningful - especially testing whether
you can adjust it to suit your usage. My current LCD,
for example, I cannot turn down the intensity enough,
as there isn't enough adjustment range. You can check
for things like that, when you're in a store. And if
the monitor has a characteristic tint (some are blue
for example), that is not something they'll admit in
a spec.

Depends on which "rate" it is. Some manufacturers rate the pixel response
"black to black", which is a fair assessment of how it will perform with
games. Other manufacturers use a "gray to gray: which only measures on
quarter of the charge/discharge cycle. If one manufacturer says 8ms for
black to black, and the other says 2ms for gray to gray, then they are the
same.
