The other posters are all right.
I have a Samsung Syncmaster 930bf, which is a 19" screen with a response time of 4ms.
Before that I had a Daewoo screen that had a response time of 25ms.
The difference is enormous. When scrolling down a web page, for example, there was a visual blur when the page moved quickly on the old screen, which has disappeared with the new one.
For games, the lower the better, as you can pick out small details, even when the action is going really fast.
Other things to look out for are contrast and brightness.
A low contrast screen will give you a gray colour instead of black, and a low brightness level will make it hard to see your screen unless you are in a dark room.
I can thoroughly recommend the Samsung Syncmaster range, as they have high contrast, brightness, and a low response time. They look good too !

Lower is better, because it means the response time (screen refresh) is quicker. 8ms is still the average.
However, don't get all wrapped up in the specs too much. Each manufacturer has a different way of testing to get the specs, and the methods used are not universal. So in other words, it's easy to fudge the numbers a bit. There's no one auditing the spec sheet.

The ms stands for millisecond and it's telling you the "response time" of the screen. Go for a 2ms.

Lower is better.
