bujinkanrn Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Could anyone recommend a decent "middle-of-the-road" gaming TV for PC/console emulation? I'm looking for something at or under $600, preferably 50+ inches. At this price range, I'm sure 4K is probably out, but it would be a nice feature. I haven't had great luck with Sony TVs in general, so I'd prefer another brand. I've heard good things about Vizio, LG, and Samsung, but I'm open to just about anything. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Well for gaming you want something with low input lag. Here is database site for TVs with the input lag: http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ Sorry that first link is mostly monitors. Here is one for TVs http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/input-lag 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bujinkanrn Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Thank you for the rich info database and for pointing out the importance of low lag. I hadn't thought of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I've had good results with Samsung TVs re: input lag, particularly when used in Game Mode. Make sure that whatever TV you get has some form of "game mode" built into it, the amount it can reduce input lag is incredible. I actually use a 55" Samsung as my main rig's monitor.

Lordmonkus Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yeah I have a Samsung TV as well but it's not my main gaming display, G-Sync monitor for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Game mode makes a world of difference on Samsung TV's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bujinkanrn Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 From looking in stores, I've run across a TCL 55" 4k (US5800) and an Insignia 55" 4k (NS-55DR710NA17). Does anyone have any thoughts on either of these brands or models? I'm not too familiar with either brand. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
