Best gaming TV?

dsella · 07-13-2008, 01:59 AM

Anybody have a suggestion on a good gaming television?

I was checking out what TV's are used at MLG, and found this. However, $400 for only 22" 720p is a steep price.

Don't want anything over 32". Currently have a 27" Tube, and it sucks.

you want a plasma because LCD aren't very good for quick action things.

Plasma - you want one with a quick refresh rate.

Do you have a budget?

Are you kidding me? Plasmas are horrible in general.

First off the major deal is burn in. A plasma wont last nearly as long as an LCD will. Second note, they are already generally more expensive then an LCD, and can costs a pretty penny more do to 1080p.Sauce.

Please tell me where 2ms LCD is not good for "quick action". Your eyes cant even see anything faster then 16ms (12 in some cases).

However, Ill help your argument in that plasmas can generally be larger in size and produce a better contrast ratio.

How much are you willing to spend? With regard to price v. performance, I thought that was pretty good. There are "better" 32" TVs, however.

I have a Sharp Aquos 32'' HD LCD and it's great for Gaming. I use it for my Xbox 360 and sometimes DVI to HDMI on my PC.
