New 22" LCD seems seems slower and laggy

[BlueWeasel]

I was thrilled with my first monitor LCD, a 19" Acer running at 1280x1024 (75hz) with a 5ms response time.

I recently upgraded to a V7 D22W12 22" LCD and it's currently running at 1680x1050 (60hz). Both monitors are sitting side by side, running in dual mode in Vista. Due to a hot deal at Staples, I picked the V7 up last week for $200.

However, the 22" monitor just seems sluggish, even with 2D desktop use. Ghosting doesn't seem to be very apparent. When I use the secondary 19" monitor, the mouse seems much more responsive with no lag.

Granted, I know the V7 isn't a top of the line LCD, but they generally get good reviews. Is lag with large LCDs (22" or more) a common occurrence? I really figured that since each display had the same 5ms response time, it really wouldn't be an issue. Maybe I'm just more sensitive to it than others?

How bad we talking here? LCD lag at most 3-4 frames. And that is hard to preceive in usage only in side by side comparison. EVEN THEN you can't feel it much.

Either you got SUPER DUPER eyes or some thing ain't hooked up right.
