LCD or OLED? - The TV Thread

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

I'll check that out. I have a LG 42" lcd tv. Yeah both my PS3 & PS4 are connected to hdmi inputs. Thanks. *Update* I can't seem to see anyway to change the name. Only thing I see is a input label button when choosing an hdmi input. It's on game mode but no option to change it to pc. Not sure if I am missing something.

Stormy that input name change option is really for Samsung TV's. If you have an LG, then using Game Mode good your gaming will help reduce lag compared to other modes

Yeah I use game mode when playing games for sure. All the processing features are off except I have dynamic color & dynamic contrast on as it gives a better picture. I don't reallly feel any input lag, feels the same as off. If I do run into any issues I'll just turn off those dynamic features. Thanks for the help.

The new projector came today. Once I get the flooring laid in the basement/man cave and get it hooked up, I'll throw up some pictures. Could be October or November though

Did you ever get a sound system brewing?

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Nah, I put it on hold. As you can tell, I haven't made much progress period on the man cave. I have the materials, flooring, wiring, and projector. Just not the time to get it done. I sold the other projector, because I didn't have time to get everything done. Impulse buy on this one, but hopefully I can get the flooring installed, drywall, etc in the next few weeks, and get this put up.

Won't be nearly perfect for a while, but it'll be serviceable.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Gotcha. I still have my HK satellites & sub if you're ever interested, but I would instead recommend that you go all out with sound to match your speakers... in which case that might take a while.

I've been waiting forever to get a new receiver and subwoofer. I might get a new receiver this Black Friday finally, but I still want to keep my old one. I just kind of want this one to be "the one" though, so I don't look toward upgrading again for years on end (been on my current one for four years now). That said, I'll probably be going upwards to $2000 for one.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Stormy, make sure:

1- Your gaming device is connected to HDMI 1. HDMI 1 on Samsung's are like a default PC Input via HDMI.

2- Put the TV in Game Mode 1st. Then rename Game Mode to PC. This reduces the lag of Game Mode even more.

The PC mode does not work on Game Mode.

It is one or the other.

On my Samsung plasma renaming any HDMI input to PC makes it PC Mode.

If I have game mode activated then changing the hdmi name to PC disables game mode and PC mode is activated

Many get confused as to why changing the HDMI name to Game does not work well that is because game mode is activated inside the settings and not by name the input game

This looks like a better solution for essentially the same price. (120Hz , 3D) You do lose the Smart features though.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

I have an LG lcd tv and was wondering is it best to use the picture wizard for calibrating than picking one of the pre-set modes like standard? I know you can buy discs to calibrate or get a professional but I am not that hardcore about it. Thanks.

Stormy the wizard actually is very good for a basic calibration and would suggest using

I've fiddled with it a bit. It does have more in depth settings. When starting the wizard it has to 2 options standard & preferred what is the best to go with? The color gamut is set at standard by default should I just leave it or put it on wide? The regular modes have it on wide. Thanks.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Had a lightning strike while I was on vacation blew out my sony 55 w900a and receiver and other stuff.

Claiming it on insurance. In the meantime I picked up the xbr55x850b. What a beautiful picture. Upconversion to 4k is really nice.

Would definitely recommend to anyone in the market for a tv..it's on sale for $1999.

Leave it on Standard. Wide is for PC

I have a clear white option on my lcd tv as well should this be kept off? There are 3 levels off, low & high. Thanks.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

Okay guys I'm seriously thinking of getting a tv. Newegg with preferred card or anywhere else with my mastercard. I'm going to be using it for gaming 90% of the time. It will also be used as my computer monitor as well.

I was looking to spend between 400 to 600 dollars however I know that I may have to go out of my price range. I was basically looking for bang for you buck deals. It doesn't need to be 3D and/or have all the apps on it. Just a straight up relatively good gaming tv. I prefer LCD and looking for probably 32 inches at the smallest.

Any suggestions or would it be better waiting until black Friday/cyber monday?
