5ms is a good response time. From what I've seen 8ms is more typical; higher on cheaper monitors.
My 22" Samsung SyncMaster 226bw has a 2ms response time w/ a 3000:1 contrast ratio. It normally $340 at Newegg, but is on sale this weekend for $270 (after $40 MIR): Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1(DC 3000:1) - Retail
The HP W2007 is a 20" and $260 at Newegg: Newegg.com - HP w2007 Black-Silver 20.1" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 Built in Speakers - Retail
At full price for the Samsung, the additional $80 gets you 2" more screen, 3x the contrast ratio, the same brightness, and additional quality due to not paying for speakers that you are not going to use anyway. (and 812 reviews at Newegg that gave it a 5, compared with 4 reviews of the HP that rate it a 5 - make that 813 5s, since I haven't written one for them.  )
UT3, Crysis, and Bioshock all support widescreen displays and produce no distortion nor black-banding on the edges.
