I want a tv under 500 bucks. Also, do you think a 32 inch is a good size to game on?
Answer
Cheap and good for gaming.
= LED (or plasma since it will not get motion blur) panasonic or samsung tv with at least 720p resolution and with at least 120 hz refresh rate.
Brands that I like the most and probably best from least: Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Sony, Toshiba, Phillips.
Plasma >=< LED > LCD (LED is like the same/upgrade as LCD, so you should never go with LCD).
- Picture quality = Plasmas are better for picture quality (dark rooms and better dark pictures/video) and viewing experience with little to none motion blur (plasma for big tv's). (LED are better for tv's around 32 inches or smaller/small tv's for bright rooms and for bright pictures/videos).
- Sound quality = Plasmas are better, but LED is ok too,
- Appearance = I like plasma glass, but LED is nice too.
- Energy consumption = LED's are better (LED's are extremely economical and good for gamers).
- Reliable = LED's are only easier to take care of and last longer, so I guess they are better. (I recommend LED tv's for gaming).
- Price = Both are about the same price and it's up to you to decide if you want a plasma or LED.
Is 1080 good? Yes.
- 1080 resolution is better than 720 resolution.
- Bigger tv's are better with 1080 than 720 (If the tv is around 32 inches I would go with 720, any bigger I would just want a 1080 especially for tv's that are over 42 inches).
- Farther you sit away from tv's means it's better to go with 1080 than 720 (If you sit more than 10 feet away from your tv, then I definitely would go with 1080).
- Progressive scan is better than interlaced scan.
- Example: 1080p > 1080i
- Example: 720p > 720i
- Example: 1080i > 720p (because more resolution is better for slower passed videos).
- Example: 720p > 1080i (because fast pass videos you be better off with progressive scan).
Is 60hz good? = No.
- You want at least 120hz for your tv to play your videos.
Hz is the refresh rate. (Some tv's have a choice what hz you can set it at).
- It's an HD TV-set running at 60Hz - meaning it refreshes the entire screen 60 times a second.
- It's an HD TV-set running at 120Hz - meaning it refreshes the entire screen 120 times a second.
FPS = frames per second.
- NTSC countries use 60hz = 30 fps.
- PAL countries use 50hz = 24/25 fps.
(For not equal conversions there is more math to it, and there is 3:2 or 2:3 pulldowns that I will not explain).
For NTSC countries:
- To display 30 frames per second on a TV with a 60 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 2 times every 30th of a second.
- To display 30 frames per second on a TV with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 4 times every 30th of a second.
For PAL countries (you don't want a tv with 60hz because that includes more math and bad effects).
- To display 25 frames per second on a TV with a 50 hz refresh rate (PAL Countries), each frame is repeated 2 times every 25th of a second.
- To display 24 frames per second on a TV with a 72hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 3 times every 24th of a second.
- To display 25 frames per second on a TV with a 100 hz refresh rate (PAL Countries), each frame is repeated 4 times every 25th of a second.
- To display 24 frames per second on a TV with a 120hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
.ect
(If your playing a video with a different fps, then there is different math, I used progressive scan math btw).
The hobbit (1 out of 3): An unexpecting Journey: (Prequel to lord of the rings): is one of the first movies to change from 24 fps to 48 fps (or 30 fps to 60 fps). We may see more movies do this.
I am still new to 3d tv's, ill have to get into them as well and I am not really a fan of 3d tv's anyways.
- All I can say is it's good for very slow pass scenes and/or animated movies.
I am not a fan of projectors either.

What TV should I get?
BigMikeyB
Presently, I have a 37 inch 720p 60hz tv and I thought that it is about time that I upgrade. I sit about 5 to 8 feet from it. I watch blu rays and play video games on this tv. What TV should do you think I should get? LCD, LED, Plasma, 3D, what type of specs do you think would be good for me? Should I save up about 1000 or up and go all out or do you think I can still get a great tv for about 650-800? Thanks.
Answer
size , between 40-50 inch
HD - - definitely a 1080p or depending on your region, a 1080i
brand -- Vizio , I have bought 4 of them for 2 houses and they are top notch and the Cadillac of tvs.
type - - get one that is a combination of LED and LCD for your best color/contrast quality.
gadgets----- get a Wi-Fi built into it , you can do so much with it like searching and watching YOUTUBE or checking the weather or playing Netflix , or getting into facebook , etc.
juice ---- instead of the cheap 60hz refresh rate , eliminate the blurs and shadows by going to either a 120hz or a 240 hz refresh rate .
price range ----- you can get a real decent , power packed tv for under 700 . Example , right now walmart has a 42" Vizio , 120hz , 1080p , Wi-Fi , on sale for 478.
Or pick a brand you prefer but for me , Vizio is a top notch TV and it doesn't break your wallet.
