Monitors, response time

I'm trying to figure whether my monitor is screwed/whether I'd get any benefit of switching to a different panel. So I need someone with a monitor similar to mine (22" TN Panel Chimei), to download Pixperan, run the streaky pictures test, and tell me the highest speed at which the text bubble on the car remains readable. I can't read the text at any speed over 3, it becomes totally blurred. I'm pretty sure that this monitor should do better than that.

Pixperan download location : http://www.prad.de/download/pixperan_english.zip

If you're not using a TN panel, do the test anyway and let me know the results.

    Well, on a Dell Ultrasharp 1908FP, I can still read at 5, but it's blurred enough past that to where it isn't readable. I'll give it a try later at home if I remember on my Viewsonic 17" and my Dell 24"

    I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?

    I've got a 22inch Samsung SyncMaster and I haven't done the test but its a sweet monitor for playing 3D shooters, you have to be really looking for it to notice any blur.
