tv's for gaming

[WT SAVAGE]

i just picked up a sanyo 46" tv http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9106634

i got it yesterday and hooked it up right now, and im not impressed with it on the gaming visuals (my old sharp x flat looks better, its hooked up with component cables). besides the fact the picture quality isnt all that great, the fuckin tv screen came cracked on the bottom. so ima take it back and get a different tv. any suggestions? im looking for at least a 42"tv

They are usually a bit more than the cheaper brands, but Sony seems to have some really good models. I've got an older 27 inch Flat Screen Sanyo, and it never impressed me all that much for video games so it must be the tv to avoid for gamers.

samsung, sony, sharp, LG, panasonic.. are topnotch try and stay away from shit like vizio, westinghouse, magnavox, sima.. etc.. and other kinda unknown brands. Also.. component = RGB (red green blue) thats the highest quality of an ANALOG signal.. id just get an hdmi and call it a day.. unless you dont have hdmi on it.

Shit i got a 32" VIZIO LCD HDTV and it's my favorite t.v yet.. Picture is amazing.. Plus it was hella cheap at costco.. Fuck tha name brand ones, i was gonna get a Sharp, tha picture was tha same as tha VIZIO, Its price was jus as much as my VIZION too, cept it was 26" and my VIZIO was 32"..

i ended up taking back that other tv and gettin a 47" philips lcd 1080p HDTV. COD4 looks way better on this tv.

I dont know, I got a 37 inch Sanyo that looks immaculate. Out of all the Sanyos they had on display only the 37 and 32 inch models looked that good.

lol @ "fuck the name brand ones"
u neva wanna be cheap when buying expensive shit cuz u'll b throwing ur money away when it messes up

 

[T-Rip]

Samsung is the way to go, i only have a 32" and its 1080i but it looks amazing. Thats all i could fit into this entertainment center i have but it was rated pretty well for playing videogames on it, thats why i got it

yup^^

samsung is rated #1
wit sony at 2
and like LG Toshiba and Panasonic all close at 3. so if u dont want to spend as much as the top models get on of the #3's they arent crap they are good tv's.

i still got the component cables hooked up for the 360. i ordered 2 HDMI cables last night for like $20, one is for my 360 the other is for my HD cable box.

the problem i had with the other tv while playing the 360 was the colors looked super shitty and when u were on the main COD4 screen and navigated down to xbox live option, the letters would get fuzzy to the point u could hardly see them.

Sony, Samsung, and Sharp are the best. Look for low response rates. ie 6 ms or less. This eminates "blurring" or "tracing" when movement occurs.

it amazes me that more people dont research shit before they buy it. if i am droppin 2k on something you better believe i am gettin the best for my money

i have used this time and time again in my life and it always seems to apply....

you get what you pay for

 

[hella_numb]

yeah the vizio looks fine in your room but if you put it next to another tv of quality you would see that its not that great of a tv. not to mention is looks pretty gay. i got a 32" sharp aquos from costco last summer for $650 and the tv is legit. picture looks great, no audio or video problems. i compared it to our new 52" inch sony xbr4 and while there isnt as many colors shown (ie levels of black) but other then the blacks its pretty similar. no dead pixels, great speakers, looks good. its only 1080i but xbox 360 isnt even 1080p so its fine for me.

might be a bad cable.. or you need to fuck with the display settings on the 360.

Shit for tha price i spent i'm happy with what i got.. For tha price of a name brand i'd be gettin a 26" isntead of a 32", and my pictures better then tha Sharp being displayed, and they was sittin side by side playin HD.. I did my research and i know i came out on-top.. I wouldnt buy a namebrand unless i had a hella good joog on 'em.. I'm happy wit what i got and i'm happy wit' tha rack i saved.

 

[Jake]

I did my research

so you chose to ignore the fact that there is whole message board forums dedicated to vizio dead pixel problems

great research

hope they dont screw you like they did alot of people when you go to send it back
