I play alot of MW2 in my down time on-base, and i currently play on the 15" Zenith (with built in VCR) that the Army was kind enough to provide for me in my barracks. However, I feel an upgrade is needed, and have spent many hours looking for a good replacement. Plasma is out of the question, due to burn in, and LED-LCD's are pushing my budget.
Basically, i'm looking for a 32" or smaller TV/monitor that would be optimal for gaming on. I'm impressed by a few models already, but would like your opinions on certain features.
120hz: i read that this is a pretty important feature for gaming, as it reduces motion blur quite a bit.
contrast ratio: what is a good number, because i see numbers from 10k to 4M, and i really can't tell that much of a difference...
720p vs 1080p: really that big of a deal? i've heard that xbox just upscales 1080p from 720p anyways
Tv vs monitor: what are the pros and cons, performance wise? i'm not really worried about size, but if i got a monitor, it would have to be 24" or larger, so for this reason i'm leaning towards tv's
i don't really care about all the little frillies that tv's are coming out with these days, so netflix, youtube, skype, ...one button pizza ordering...i just want the raw product. a Tv with little to no motion lag and accurate colors.
I'm impressed by this particular model, but i'd really rather not spend that much if its not necessary.
