Essentialy my current monitor is about to die any time soon (either he or me because of all this flickering). i am going to this time buy something better, and i cannot decide between two LCD monitors:

LCD 19" Samsung SyncMaster 940BW Silver HAS
4MS response time, 500:1 contrast
1440 x 900

LCD 17" Samsung SyncMaster 731BF
1280 x 1024
2MS response time, 600:1 contrast

So, which one is better for gaming and programming? does that 2 Ms response time difference between them actually matter?
