In choosing a monitor for the sole purpose of photo editing, should I care about the Pixel Response Time specification? I will not be using it for any type if gaming.

Some monitors have Pixel Response Times of 25ms...and others have much lower 14ms or 6ms. If given a choice, is one much better for photo editing?

Thank you!

Happy Holidays!

They're unimportant. The shorter times (anything below 6ms or so) is likely a TN screen. Avoid that.

Go for IPS or PVA.
Much better viewing angles & better color.
