It is measured in milliseconds. Faster is better: lower response time means faster transitions &, therefore, results in fewer visible image artefacts in the display of transition of texts & graphics. On-Off response time is a more important measure in the display of business content like documents, graphs & photos. Adjustable tilt Adjustable tilt is backward & forward movement of a screen on its base to achieve custom positioning for an ideal viewing angle & more comfort for people who spend long hours working on the computer.
