Morf is talking gibberish :)

Get a smaller TV and sit closer to it :old:

Thanks much for the input gents.  I appreciate it.  Morf, you mentioned response time.  What value should I be looking for?

 video response is measured in milliseconds and lower is better as Fugi said!

   Now most manufactors fudge these numbers as they use a gray to gray scale instead of black to white but I think it's best to try it out before you buy!  Most stores will connect a laptop to a tv for you if they think it will get them a sale.


    If you have good vision then maybe a triple screen setup would give a sharper image but I cant sit close to my screen and still see it so I opted to go larger and sit back abit so my eyes can focus. And as I said it will take 6 screens to equal the area I view. 

   Once the 4K screens play nice with comps then I can have a much higher resolution until then I'll settle for 1920x1080 with a 3 in gunsight!



      :salute

PS:  Puma,if you check online you will find the specs for any TV that you fancy,if the give the dredded NA in video response time then for sure check it before you buy but most the name brands are 5ms or less these days,my LG supposedly has a 2 ms response but as I said they tend to fudge those numbers.... :noid
