In The Market For A New TV

II Enix II · Mar 7, 2014

I'm looking for something in the range of 40-42 inch. What I'm most worried about is getting a TV that has poor motion when playing fast paced games. So, motion blur, or rather the lack of it is important. Also, the response time on the panel, as I like
to play fighting games, so the response time is very important. Primarily I will be using the TV for playing games and watching movies, either downloaded or on blu ray.

Can anyone recommend any TV's that you know of, or currently have at home that work well for you? I don't want to spend a fortune, and I'm looking at more budget range than anything.

Many thanks in advance, guys.

Does Xbox1 support 4K resolution TV

As the title suggest, With the new gen of 4K resolution tv`s now on the market now, will this be supported? I am in the market for a new TV. I have compared them with current Hi Def, & there is no comparison! They are awesome!

New TV for Xbox One.

With the Xbox One seemingly around the corner, I've decided to go all out for the occasion and buy a new tv.. My question is simply what specs should I look for in my new TV as there is a lot of discussion about 60FPS, 1080P and similar. Helpful answers
only please as I am not as experienced in the TV market as I would like to be. Thanks in advance..

Bought a Samsung series 5 about 3 months ago which I'm very happy with, 46 inch for £500.

This is the TV I have
http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/sony-kdl42w653-201308113237.htm , you won't find a Tv with better input lag. With the Leo Bodnar input lag tester it gets 15ms in [Game] mode, also full 4:4:4 reproduction in [Game] mode. Perfect for fighting games or FPS's.
It's a VA-type panel so blacks are the probs the best you will get from an LED. Don't take my word for it read the review and visit the W600 series owners thread over on AV forums.

Thanks, Genchy. I think I've seen the one on Amazon. Seems like they're currently selling it at £449. They also have a 42 inch at £379.

Which TV is it you have, Kaleef? Thank you.

I see it now... the link just popped up!

I have to agree with Kaleef. The 42W653 from the sony range is a highly recommended Gaming tv.

Thing is, with regards the console market, gaming monitors are a niche market. They may be gaining popularity now, but are prohibited by price.

Most folks use tv's, and fhd hdr is a relatively new addition to the market, and if you're gonna fork out for a new tv, why pay over the odds for a 1080p hdr tv when for a very similar price one can pick up a 4k tv with same or better hdr?

Seems pretty pointless
