Screen for Gaming

I use hdmi with my T260 for gaming without issues. Maybe some settings aren't right for you.
 
I can honestly say "No" to a Philips for PC gaming. Whenever I try to play BLOPS on my philips it ghosts like a beast.

However, when I plug my PS3 in and play the ghosting isn't even noticeable...

Interesting outlook.

I have been a member for 6 years and in the top 25 posters, and have not one infraction to my name.

Oh wait.

PP is a troll because he was vocal about your joke of a clan's incessant use of Last Stand and Grenade Launchers in COD Black Ops.

Yes, it all makes sense. :rolleyes:

Get real son.

You may know something about BLOPS, but you know bugger-all about PC screens. You should check your facts before advising others with your incorrect understandings.

No HDMI input? Strange. All new GPU's have a HDMI connector speeding up transfer rates...

Post of the day! LOL.

Thanx guys then what about a Acer 27 inch LED then for R2500 or a LG 3D 23 inch monitor for R3000?

Thanx Post man but my budget is already strained at R2500 lol

Then try to save. :)

It will be an investment for a long time into the future. And you have a TV.

A decent 24" - 27" PC LCD is already costing R2,500 - R3,000. All entry PC LCD's use TN LCD panels, which to summarise are kak.

Please read up on panel types - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD#Types

Now, branded LCD TVs use much better panels. IPS, PVA etc. as per Wiki. The Samsung LA32D550 uses S-PVA, which is the most suitable panel type of LCD TVs that you can get for PC. Reason being, better contrast (dark blacks), lower input lag (unnoticeable compared to TN), much better colours (8 - 10 bits per pixel opposed to TN which is 6), much wider viewing angles... The list goes on.

I am a high level FPS and Sc2 gamer, and I cannot notice any sort of lag compared to the multitude of TN PC LCDs I've owned, which many noobs will tell you are a "must have" for "gamers". Poppy-cock.

As far as I'm concerned, the recent 30% tax increase on PC LCDs renders 24" - 27" LCDs useless in light of 32" FHD LCDs using PVA (or IPS (LG)) at a fraction of the price more.

Just make sure you have about 80cm+ viewing distance. :D

I don't understand, Playing games on HDMI sucks? What do you mean?

The HDMI 1.4a standard cannot accommodate more than 24 FPS (frames per second) at 1920x1080, so Nvidia, AMD, and even Intel share this limitation. That's not usually a problem in home theaters because Blu-ray 3D discs play back at 24 FPS.

When it comes to gaming, though, 24 FPS is decidedly insufficient. It is possible to achieve 60 FPS over HDMI if you drop your resolution to 720p (1280x720). Casual gamers might be willing to make such a compromise, sacrificing the crispness of native 1080p. But serious gamers won't want to do that. They want native resolutions and high frame rates.

Does it make sense now?
 
I still don't really understand this?

Typically, 3D televisions utilize an HDMI input. The HDMI 1.4a standard cannot accommodate more than 24 FPS (frames per second) at 1920x1080

They say HDMI 1.4 cannot accommodate more than 24FPS @ 1080p, and this surely means talking about the TV's failure (24FPS limit) at accommodating of the input?

Now, are they talking about 3D TVs, or all flat/wide/HD TVs?

My 32" LCD non-3D accommodates my gfx card's DVI-HDMI connector, via HDMI cable to HDMI input on the LCD, perfectly at 60Hz/FPS. So now is that because of my graphics card outputting over DVI? I cannot fathom how it would be different, compared to HDMI (DVI+sound)?

The article is very unclear. It talks about 3D TVs, and their accommodating of inputs. It does not say a graphics card with HDMI cannot output more than 24FPS. I think this is the key here.

Could you please provide another article, not related to 3D?

Because I still think you are incorrect. :/

It still is not clear to me.

Let's make this basic.

You say PC use/gaming was bad on your T260 when using gfx HDMI to T260 HDMI. Yes? Your reasoning for this, is because you say you were limited to 24FPS. Yes?

So tell me. If I was to connect my LA32C550 LCD TV's HDMI to my other PC with HD6850 that has HDMI out, you're saying I would be limited to 24FPS? Please confirm.
 
HDMI 1.4 was released on May 28, 2009, and the first HDMI 1.4 products were available in the second half of 2009.[55][112] HDMI 1.4 increases the maximum resolution to 4K × 2K, i.e. 3840 × 2160p (Quad HD) at 24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz or 4096 × 2160p at 24 Hz

Errrr, basic math here:

If 3840x2160p is only capable out outputting 24/25/30 hz (or fps), then halving that resolution will double your hz (or fps).

So 1920x1080p will be capable of fps of 48/50/60 hz (or fps) which sounds about right, at least in terms of TVs.

It would make sense that this would apply to LCD monitors as well, although I thought the whole point of LCD screens was that hz doesn't work in the same way as hz does for a CRT.
