Cavemanhead Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I remember at least 1-2 threads on the subject... Looking for an inexpensive solution for a large monitor experience (32"-40")... Recommendations and things to know... I've got a 4770k and a GTX 970 FTW. Looking for what makes a good setup for DCS and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitMaster Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Check for low input latency, usually combined with a thing called "Game Mode" where the signal is not routed through many chips avaialable on thr PCB to enhance Video experience ( and slow it down ) but routed as fast as possible to the pixels. Some in here I think use a Philips that is suited for that, cichlidfan I think is one of the guys using one with success, he might be the proper guy to ask for 1st hand experience and advice. Your rig is adequate for 1080p gaming and DCS, OC that CPU...it yearns to scream beyond 4.5GHz :) Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PicksKing Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) Yes the latency which is low as possible is very important. There two another things come into my mind: 1. Try to get a TV with a low clouding (inhomogeneous backlight) or take an OLED. 2. A higher panel input frequency is a huge advantage. Most TVs only support 60Hz input. 100Hz or even above may reduce micro juddering while using a headtracker.

sea2sky Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I remember at least 1-2 threads on the subject... Looking for an inexpensive solution for a large monitor experience (32"-40")... I would not recommend it. It is all about pixel density, and a large TV will have a very low one, about twice less pixels per inch comparing to a regular 24" 1920x1080 monitor. 1 i5-9600K@4.8GHz ★ 32Gb DDR4 ★ Asus TUF rtx3080 OC ★ Quest Pro ★ Warthog on Virpil base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firmek Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I would not recommend it. It is all about pixel density, and a large TV will have a very low one, about twice less pixels per inch comparing to a regular 24" 1920x1080 monitor. +1. Even if you're going to sit relatively far away still there are other things to consider like input lag, ghosting and screen tearing (lack of support for adaptive sync) and many more issues related to screen characteristics as also features (like lack USB concentrator). Edit: Using TV as a monitor is ok for showing pictures, power point or maybe for editing an excel. When it comes for more non trivial applications like gaming, DTP, CAD, etc, dedicated monitors will always be much better.

EricR Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 This will be a quick post since I am not home right now to give ya all the specs, but I am using 3 42" LG TVs set at 90 degrees. I may not know what I am missing, but I am very happy with the results and it's very emersive.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neldrion Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I currently use two displays: main display - expensive DELL Monitor 27 inch with 2540x1440 pixels second display - cheap ancient (2008-ish) LG TV 32 inch with 1360x768 pixels Honestly the difference between the both is not that big. I have used the LG TV as my PC main monitor for years and it worked great. Input lag is very small. Do a good research on input lag before you buy, thats the main argument for gaming use of a TV.
