I'm looking for a relatively cheap TV that would be suitable for PC gaming - and I don't really know much about TV's.
It doesn't have to be an uber-TV but I'd like something that isn't a blurry mess when I whip my head around in a FPS. I know it's not going to be perfect on a TV.
Requirements:
$350-$450 aiming for not more than $425 with tax though.
38" - 42"
1080P
Relatively low input lag.
Relatively little ghosting.
No "judder" with blu-ray movies like the 2012 LG models I was just reading about have.
3+ HDMI
Compatible with a variety of wall mounts.
Maybe a DVI in might be nice but not really required I guess.
Available on Amazon.com, Newegg.com, or Best Buy in store. (I don't like waiting long for shipping.)
Not very susceptible to burn-in since it will be used with my gaming PC in my apartment as an entertainment hub more often than not, and *may* have a screen left on and forgotten for various unforeseen reasons - such as when the wifey brings home one of her girlfriends
I think I want 60 Hz in order to avoid the "fast forward" effect you seem to get on many 120 Hz televisions.
Anything else you think is a must in a gaming TV.
Again, not expecting the best of the best of the best within this price range... I just want something I can enjoy from a distance when I decide I'm tired of sitting up at my PC monitor and using the mouse and keyboard - something sufficient to be able to relax a bit while playing PC games with an XBOX controller.
Thanks so much!
