FreaknCuttlefish Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 I’ve been playing on a 27” 1080 monitor and I’ve been thinking of trying out a 43” tv. The tv’s I’ve been looking at are 60hz and my monitor is 144hz. Would have any negative effect on DCS? Has anyone here gone down this path?
Fri13 Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 You don't get negativities on the refresh rate. As you are playing so slow game that it doesn't matter. If you want to know what the Hz vs FPS really means in gaming: What is the problem with some TV models, is their speed of contrast from grey to grey or more specifically black-white-black. As slow televisions that has ghosting, will have ghosting on darker contrast objects like a aircraft against a blue sky or white snow terrain etc. That you can even check in the stores by recording the usual high speed DCS flying in dog fight, and then saving that video to memory stick and walking to store and ask them to play it back from televisions you consider to buy. The problem that you just likely see is that you get to see pixels if you don't go for a 4K television right away, and that means GPU requirements going up. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
will- Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 there a few factors, i like display port and do not like hdmi so going w/ a tv isn't something i would choose. each year they are improving the hz on tvs so right now they are 120hz@4k is the standard. i would personally stay away from trying to use a tv. i have not tried using a tv @4k as just using a 1080p monitor was enough lag for me to make that decision.

FreaknCuttlefish Posted November 27, 2019 Author Posted November 27, 2019 Thank you for the replies. I went ahead and picked up a 43” Samsung 4K tv. I’ve played the su33 guns only mission a few times and everything looks great. Really enjoy the huge screen.
Sn8ke_iis Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Make sure to check out rtings.com for your model. They have calibration guides for most models. Turning on the PC gaming mode properly will turn off all the movie filter gimmick features that you don't need to minimize input lag. TV's are just big monitors nowadays. Samsung, TCL, and LG all have models with really high gaming/pc monitor review scores. I believe my Samsung supports Gsync over HDMI with the latest Nvidia drivers but I haven't tried it yet. Doesn't matter with TrackIR but it's nice for other games.
RustBelt Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Do the PC mode thing anyways even when watching shows. All that smooth motion crap looks like hell anyways.

I do VR also but I love the big screen too. It is nice having a life size cockpit. Plus, its pretty gorgeous on the eye candy.
