guys how do games look on high end lcd's. i currently roll on a dlp.

Maximus · 01-28-2009, 10:16 PM

Depends on the LCD you are buying.

Some will look crap, others will look amazing.

How much are you looking to spend?

twill812 · 01-28-2009, 10:23 PM

Well, the PS3 hooked by HDMI to my Sammy 1080p LCD looks awesome. It also depns on the games PQ output too. But, for sure WipeOut HD (1080p) looks outstanding.

prankster · 01-28-2009, 10:27 PM

looks great to me. i've played my ps3/360 on both of the following lcds:

samsung ln52a550
samsung ln-t3253h

owa · 01-28-2009, 10:29 PM

Try to test the one you're interested in if you can.

Hedchekr · 01-28-2009, 10:33 PM

They look awesome on my Sony. They look good on my friends Samsung, Sharp, and even on my one friends Vizio.
Overall they look good.

TechPro · 01-28-2009, 11:28 PM

im lookin at the 950 55' from sammy....

Maximus · 01-28-2009, 11:39 PM

You will have considerable input lag with that TV because of the AMP and LED backlighting. For TV and Blu-ray though it is amazing, I just got the 46" version!

LCD looks good, but Plasma looks better. Just search and search what you want and go to CC and get a TV when they do their discount a little better.

jkwest · 01-28-2009, 11:48 PM

nothing wrong with the dlp right?

TechPro · 01-29-2009, 01:05 AM

techpro was just something i thought of. not really a gamer..

the dlp looks good..ive always wondered if it can get clearer.

FendersRule · 01-29-2009, 01:13 AM

You mean a Projection DLP?

I've never been happy with projection screens. DLP or not. The dead technology is farting away in the wind IMO.

Really? Ive never noticed anything that would sway me from repurchasing a LCD. But then again im just one of the unwashed masses so who knows.

zombieking · 01-29-2009, 01:55 AM

lcd looks good just make sure you pick a model with a fast refresh rate, like 5ms or less.

blu_world · 01-29-2009, 02:31 AM

"plasma's look better"

yeah if the colored dots to produce the video don't bother you when your close up to the screen,i have an lcd,i play close up,don't notice the pixel dots at all..

played on my bud's 50'' plasma,you'll notice it but get use to it

Plasma's are good for playing low res 480p picture too,try it on an lcd and you'll notice alot of fuzz that the lcd pick's up....

doesn't matter a whole lot about the LCD vs plasma...like the guy above said before,the high end expensive LCD's are wicked,same as the plasma Tv if it's high end,stay away from the crap $800 and under tv's

frieda · 01-29-2009, 02:37 AM

Just my personal opinion, plasma might look better but I won't recommend plasma for games as they can burn in and LCD do not burn in.

Musashi · 01-29-2009, 02:46 AM

Test your games with hi-def TVs at the store to make sure there's no input lag. And test old games on them if you still play PS2 or older.

iamgosu · 01-29-2009, 02:52 AM

i have the Sharp LC32GP3U. It's a full 1080p LCD tv.
Love it, it's only 32", but it has no. input. lag. AT ALL. Considering how it is meant to be a "gaming LCD", with Sharp's 'Vyper Drive' which is supposed to reduce all input lag.

Has 3 HDMI inputs for all your high-def needs. HardOCP forum users also use it as a monitor and say it's quite a good monitor as well.

*Sigh* You do realize that both LCD and plasma screens are composed of pixels, and these pixels are visible if you sit close enough? The pixels on a 50" 1080p LCD are no bigger or smaller than those on a 50" 1080p plasma. Please stop spreading misinformation like this.

That may have been true many years ago, but that is not the case with today's good-quality plasma displays (unless you treat them as airport flight schedule display monitors). Please read the multiple threads on this topic around here before you post misinformed statements like that. Oh, and LCDs can have permanent burn-in, also. You'll just have to leave static images on longer than plasma.
