i have used a telefunkin and jvc smart tv
both get horrable display wiht hdmi and cant seem to get it fixed

vga works,but only get HDReady

i am thinking of samsung,but what is the best one?
that can use fulldh
with out blur text etc
 
im looking for something biger and nice
youtube etc,but also easy on the eyes,and dont have blurry texy

but what do u think will work the best and give me the best quality

Hisense vs samsung and around R4000

32/40"

edit,guess a 27" will be bigger and have the best quality as its made for a pc


got a 23" atm

I find LG screens tend to work the best. Currently using a 32" LG 1080p LED screen.

Make sure the panel is TN and not IPS, or you're going to have a bad time.

Other way around..

Besides, LG hasn't made a TN TV in years as far as I know (and good riddance)

Any of the cheaper Samsung or LG TV's will work fine,don't go with a no-name Chinese brand (or a we-stole-a-German-name-but-still-make-cheap-Chinese-junk like Telefunken).

Just make sure to set it to "PC Mode" or something similar, different manufacturers have different names for it.

The best thing is to use a PC screen as a TV screen. No TV license required.

lol, so how small is your tv then?
I used a Sony 32" 1080P TV as screen for two years, now using a Samsung 1080p 40" tv as pc screen, works great.
 
TJ99 is right. Look for PC mode or the Hdmi port labelled 'DVI'. Otherwise the TV will scale everything causing text to go blurry and sides to cut off (overscan).
 
thx all,so
look for a samsung tv
with a dvi hdmi port

gonna go to game today and look what tv's have that ports

Depends how far away you sit from the screen. I used to use a 26". Now using a 24". Quality is better than quantity.
 
at game i saw a 40" samsung 4200 for 4.5k but its not a smart tv
dont care realy but its a nice bonus

also saw a 6200 online for 7k,alot more but will be better

nice thing from game is i can get it on card and pay off,

dont want to get anyother card or something,as it will just make me go into a deep pool of shate

for also 7k i can get a ultra wide pc screen 29"

so many options

but the 4200 for 4.5k fits my buget the best,bit over but its ok

How far away do you sit away from the screen?
 
You need to enable 1:1 pixel mapping under Picture Size by the sounds of it.

But as others have said on a Samsung just use PC mode on the HDMI PORT.
 
I use a 2 year old 32" HD Samsung TV and it is great ,it is connected to a few things like CCTV DVR, server and the PC it has 3 HDMIs .
YouTube plays great on there and it is connected to the server network so videos can be streamed .
 
im gonna get a 29" insted
with a new keyboard and mice,just saveing up a bit more :(
