LED vs. Plasma vs. LCD

[fohfoh]

Gogeta, I think you're misunderstanding something. The sharp TV is awesome. You're probably in an area with screwy light and maybe you're at the wrong distance from the tv. (Don't they teach you optimum view distance there?)

Sharp is awesome. But this year, Samsung has pulled ahead slightly.

If you think anything short of a decent DSLR will produce accurate colors, or that any photograph of an LCD will produce anything close to what is displayed on the screen, you've got to be smoking something good.  All LCDs should probably be adjusted, since the manufacturers tend to skew toward the ridiculously vivid with their default settings.  Most people don't really give a shit about accuracy, and the brightest, most vivid display in the store will sell best if everything else is equal.

Input lag is damn near non existant on some types of high end displays. My understanding is Plasmas are suposed to be good for it and LCD's when theyre made well (computer monitors have like none) Some are pretty bad though. I had an old samsung DLP that bugged me

and get real. CRTs are friggin dead

computer monitors have like none you say?

High end models aren't always design around gamers' needs. As you can see from that chart, some high end computer monitors have horrible latency.

Also, a plasma is a digital display. It can have the same image processing and thus, the same or nearly the same latency as a LCD.

DLSR > Fullsize Digital > Compact > Cell Phone Camera

Law of photography.  But therefore compact will take better pictures than they cell phone, and easier to take to work lol.

but if you look for one specifically with a low response time (mines 5-7ms i believe) then its pretty much non existant. My problem is most TV's are more than that, im not aware of any LCD TV's with response times like that. Im still really not sure how plasmas fit in as far as this goes, or a good way to check with specs on LCD TV's, since they dont have regular response times. You have stuff like 240hz that suopsedly helps with motion blur but thats just more processing that adds to the delay even more.  Most 'game modes' are just bs. A lot of the time they disable everything and the TV winds up looking blurry and dull.
