It was pretty much directed at the principles of the things, although from a practical point of view, yes, it depends on what you are viewing. Although you also have to consider what the manufacturers actually mean by such values:
Perhaps the screen only needs the last few (3 or 4) milliseconds to have all the cells showing the required colours & luminescence to within 99% of the specified values, and they will all be within 95% within - say 5 milliseconds of the quoted 10. It could also be that the hardware only achieves an overall rating of 50% within the first 5, and 75% within the first 8 of the quoted 10 milliseconds. Both come within spec, but the second would be noticeable. It comes down to: Either get a screen where the specifications are well above your expected requirements and needs, or get a screen with specifications that are above your requirements/needs - and check it is acceptable or get a screen that should match your needs, and check that the actual model delivered is acceptable And - as far as I know, no one's published a legal definition of how many duff/dead cells, in what sort of a grouping and positioning constitute an unacceptable product, how many make it a 'second' quality, and how few allow it to be sold as 'perfect'. Followed by how many have to fail during what period of use for the device to be considered to have been below the quality description applied to it when it was sold, and thus 'qualify' it for replacement under warrantee/sale of goods legislation. (A failed/slow cell in each corner - not a biggy? but what about 4 within a 5 x 5 block in the middle of the screen?)
