Need a big TV for gaming

Animalpak · Jun 20, 2019

Hey guys i need advice for a big screen TV like a 55" inches to mount on my room wall and connect it to my graphics card for playing games like driving, platform ecc... All games that do not require to stay in front of a monitor like FPS.

I want something that is fast at least 120hz + refresh rate also with no tearing ( if possibile like freesync )

My budget 400 to 600 euros.

Thanks for any advice

No chance of finding something that has 120hz modes at that price range. There are a handful of TVs that can actually take and display a 1080p/120hz signal and they are in the upper echelons in terms of price.

My 55" Vizio does 120hz @ 1080p and 60hz @ 4k
May want to look into them. Paid $400 USD on Black Friday in 2017.

Agreed, most TVs in that price range will say 120Hz on the box, but its marketing trickery with some dual tuner BS going on.

Check out RTINGS.com, plenty of great reviews, you may not find the exact TV you want, but it will help break down what is possible at a given price range/size/brand/etc.

Well it isn't a 120Hz display for starters.

Animalpak · Jul 2, 2019

I think im gonna get something smaller like a 32" inches with freesync the downside will be the fact that is " just " a 32 inch but i will have the features i need for gaming which i am used to like g-sync 240hz refresh rate

Get a monitor then. TV's do still suffer from input lag much more so than monitors do.

I'm using a 65" Samsung with Freesync (NU8000). I'm sure it's been updated by now since it's a 2018 model. I don't know who else is doing this.. I wish they all did.

Nothing to do with the tuner, it's simply motion interpolation.

It is still marketing BS and not true 120Hz, whatever you want to call it.

If it is just for games that you'll use a controller for then I would assume not any competitive FPS style games. 60Hz 4k would be all you need as long as your video card can pull it off. Then you can just enjoy a big screen.

I don't play too many competitive games, but I'd also add a decent logitech or corsair wireless setup (I have the darkcore mouse/k63 keyboard which work out well with the receivers on the front of my computer).

Is HDR you mean about right? because I hear the HDR will replace Hz in the future correct me , if I am wrong!

Jetster · Jul 3, 2019

My LG 55SK8000 55 in says its TruMotion 240 which is 120Hz and it was $600
Video Only I talked him down from $660

https://www.cnet.com/news/ultra-hd-4k-tv-refresh-rates/

And there is older LCD tvs out there that are 240 1080 if you can find one

It isn't 4K 120 Hz though. It's only 120Hz at 1080p

I have yet to see a TV,tha provides a user experience equal to the performance of a 1440p IPS screen with AUOptonics 10 bit panel.

They're two entirely unrelated aspects of a TV. HDR is how wide the colour gamut and contrast/brightness is. Hz is how fast the TV/monitor refreshes the image.

Some of us don't care about the performance being the very best as long as I get 4k at 60Hz, HDR 8, 10 or 12 bit and as low input lag as possible (which my screen does all of it) then I'm a happy camper. My user experience is fantastic!

Have they improved TruMotion over the years? My first HDTV was a 100hz 720p LG with TruMotion and it would consistently blur any UI elements like the crosshair. Did give a smooth image though. And it also warped the colors a bit.

I can say honestly I Love this TV. No complaints

Thank for input, so there are long way to ermerge between monitor & Tv

I have an older 55" LG plasma; it will do 3D at 60Hz, which is awesome in Crysis 2 and 3.

I need a seat with a seatbelt, tho.

It will do 120Hz in non 3d; is looks awesome.

I wish I'd bought a smaller one for my desktop when they were still available; the pic looks like a good CRT monitor, which no lcd tv or monitor does.

My 2 G500 Trinitrons rock, but the bezel width makes it impossible to use them as one big display for games. It's probably a 4" distance with them side by side, lol.

You'll need HMDI 2.1 for true 4K 120Hz and currently there's no GPU available with such output.
