I'm returning my VT30 next week, as it suffers heavily from IR and FBr, and now I'm wondering which TV to buy to "replace" it! I'm looking for a LCD/LED TV, with LOW input lag, as I'm a gamer. And by low input lag, I mean without game mode enabled (as it ruins the picture). I also watch a lot of movies, so I hope you have some recommendations for the best gaming and movie LCD/LED out there!


- Low input lag (without enabling game mode)

- Good black level

- Good picture quality

- 46-55"


Any ideas?


Thank you!

The best PQ LCd's - full array Local Dimmings - are not the best LCd's for gaming.

As was said, the best picture quality LCDs out there seem to have the worst lag.


I used to game on a Panasonic plasma, and it was so dull and washed, dithering all over, that I gave up the good response times for the visual improvement with a Samsung LED LCD set, a D6050.


Some lag is there, but I instantly adjusted to it. A few melee hits and a few reloads and I was back on par with my usual performance. It seems completely normal to me now. My brain adjusted to that 35ms difference I guess.


The set looks absolutely stunning. Accurate color, super bright, and the blacks are inky when sitting at a good angle. Light output, color accuracy, and a depth to the picture that my Panasonic S1 couldn't even come close to producing. In fact the contrast and depth of field is so good looking, I almost want to replay many of my games to see what I was missing.


Here is the 46" version's review:

LG LHX would be a good choice, low input lag, good blacks, etc.

I returned a Samsung 59PS8000 and got a Sony 55NX720. Couldn't be happier. There are sufficient picture controls in game mode on this set for me.

What about the new Philips 9000-series? Is there low input lag on Philips sets?

Thank you for your answers.


The LG Infinia - how's the PQ quality and input lag on that one?


Edit: Which TV is this btw? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHVgGJB0nYw&hd=1

You had the 50S1 right? I remember the old S1 owner's thread where almost all the posts were regarding making picture adjustments in the service menu. lol


Anyways, I too replaced my S1 as the reflections were the worst of any display I've ever used. I replaced it with a Sony 60NX810 and have no regrets.

Don't listen to me about the LG LHX, Chad B only has is tied with the 9G Elite Kuro in picture quality.

Yes, your correct. That generation of Panasonic Plasmas had some trouble in the light output department, as well as white balance and color accuracy problems.


It was the first generation of NeoPDP panels....and they were terrible, IMO.

Please, anyone?


I'm losing my mind. This is so hard! I just want a TV with low input lag which will make games look awesome! Why is that so hard?


What about LG tvs? Are they any good? And can someone tell me which model this is? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHVgGJB0nYw&hd=1

If input lag is your main concern, I would then suggest a Toshiba. They offer 17ms input lag, which is very good from my understanding.


I game on a Toshiba LED & don't even notice lag. I play FPS, Sports Games & kinect games (XBOX 360)

What about PQ, and which model is recommended for gaming?

I have their Local Dimming Model (2009) SV series. The PQ is great. For gaming I believe all their models are recommended because they have a game mode.


Also settings are adjustable in game mode.


Are you in the USA?

 

[BFJ 96]

OP I would check out the TOSHIBA 46/55 SL417U. If 3D is something you want check out the 47/55 TL515U

 

[maxmal23]

For gaming...


3D?
Panasonic TC-L37DT30


NO 3D?
Panasonic TC-L42D30


is the way to go! trust me...
