careful don't dismiss monitors with 8ms refresh rates, many manufacturers are "cooking the books" so to say when it comes to refresh rates. Rather than black-to white to black they may do grey-to grey which will give the ultra fast sub5ms numbers, but is not a true representation.

I have a 22" Westinghouse widescreen and it seems to be just fine. I think anything under 8ms with a decent resolution and high contrast should be good enough for just about anything. And remember this a monitor will look best at its native resolution (mine is 1680x1050) and will actually look worse at high res (say 1900x1200) that most gamers like to play at.
