Ive been saving up to buy a nice LCD TV but I have a few hangups. First being my parents went out and bought a brand new TV, and the thing is Atrocious. Its a Toshiba, not sure the model. about 42" and cost about $800 CAD. I hooked my 360 up to that garbage, popped in Mass Effect 2, and i swear to god there was a 2 second wait time between me clicking a button and it happening onscreen, The response time was horrible, not to mention it had that sped up look, as if it were skipping frames, while watching movies and sometimes even TV shows on HD channels. So needless to say, this has scared me out of buying a TV without considerable ammounts of advice from people educated in the area. I'll start by stating what im looking for:
1080p HD (If those are two seperate things, please let me know. I always thought anything over 320 was "HD")
32" (Perfect size for my setup)
60Hz (Perhaps 120 or even 240 if it actualy makes a difference, which ive heard many times it does not, because games refresh at 60FPS regardless, and that going higher can actualy mess up image quality in some cases such as movies and even some games)
Fastest Response time possible (For obvious reasons, as well I'll most likely be using this as a monitor for my PC as well, but that is at the bottom of the list by far, i want the TV to function for Console gaming First and Foremost, all else is second.)
So basicly just top of the line as far as 32" LCD goes. I'd get a Plasma but I hear those arent Ideal for gaming, as the countless hours of play will burn it out. My budget can be relatively high, as I can just go ahead and save up more cash, so feel free to mention mention TVs within any price range, but if I had to budget, id say anyhting up to $1000.
Here are two I was looking into:
Samsung 32" 1080p LED HDTV
Sony BRAVIA 32" 1080p LCD HDTV
I'd really appreciate any suggestions you fine people could give me, as I've been delaying this purchase for nearly 3 months at fear of buying a piece of garbage. I want to be 100% sound when I buy this TV. Thank you once again, and I look forward to your responses.
