Right, I like to play games.

I currently have my eye on getting a Samsung BX2450, which looks to be a very nice monitor at a decent price.

the monitor I have now has 2ms response, while this new one only has 5ms.

Has anyone noticed a difference? Because I suspect that I wouldn't notice any extra blurring on the new one.
 
The number quoted is absolute best case (and it's 2ms for the BX2450). Average response times will be very similar and in both cases somewhat higher than 2-5ms. All the 2ms models have is more aggressive overdrive to improve grey-to-grey transitions - this is often achieved by increasing the voltage beyond 'standard' levels to transition from one pixel state to another. The unfortunate 'overdrive trailing' side-effect that results from this is often just as noticeable as conventional trailing and in some cases more so. That isn't to say that the trailing will be more severe on a 2ms monitor but it does depend on how the overdrive is implemented. The article linked to above explains this in more depth and also covers the affect of different panel type on pixel transition times. Very interesting read.

But for what it's worth the BX2350 that I have had the pleasure of reviewing was one of the more responsive 60Hz monitors I've used.

samsung BX2450 is listed as having 2ms response. look on their site or in the detailed description. i assume you are looking on amazon as it listed wrongly as 5ms on there.
