I am running at native 1920 x 1200 with nearly every game.
I have the MMO 'The Secret World' at 1680 x 1050 because the text is small.
Lower than native looks fine - in fact the slightly lower definition helps 
disguise the BLUR.

This is mostly on an i7  at 4500 Ghz with GeForce GTX 770

I was using the Dell 20" CRT on my older machine Q9950 at 3500 Ghz with an 
HD 5870
Within a week of getting the Benq Monitor the CRT flickered scarily , 
picture collapsed to a single line
& clicked...the characteristic smell of burning electronics left no doubt it 
had 'gone'
so I'm not able to compare the LED & CRT .
So for that Machine I now also got a NEC Monitor-E223W 22"  16 x 10 (must be 
16 x 10 ;)
That's a fairly typical 5ms LED.

Blur level seems much the same on the Benq & the NEC.
Its almost certainly a lot re. my inexperience with LED Monitors after CRT's
& the extra screen size & clarity showing things I was not aware of before.
I can mostly forget Blur-awareness when playing .
And its less noticeable after I've been playing an hour or two.
Its the wide open world games that Blur seems most noticeable.

Strange, because I've always thought I am lucky in not being that bothered
re. graphics.
e.g. I played a lot of Deus Ex :HR on an P4 - AGP  -1024 x 768
with around 18 to 25 FPS - (put a frame limiter on at 18 fps to get 
consistency)
& still was happy enough to get into the game.

Its all very subjective & most people who have been using LED for years 
would
think mine just fine.
