Will This TV be Okay for Gaming?

Link.

I'm mostly concerned about response time. In the past I've gotten mixed opinions on whether or not it's really that important. What do you guys think?

If you'd like to make another recommendation, I'm looking to spend up to $250 for 1080p at 32in+. I'd prefer not to buy used or refurbished. I plan on using it with my 360 and PC.

What TV? I've got a 32" 1080P Sceptre that works fine, response time is somewhat overblown

Yeah, that was my assumption, but I didn't want to spend that much money without knowing for sure.

Should be fine, one thing to remember, it will depend on the TV, but most use a 4:3 aspect ration while the GPU may default to 16:9 so will want to change the TV itself or in the GPUs software

On the TV I posted it says True 16: aspect ratio. Hopefully they're not pulling my leg.

Small world, that's the Sceptre I bought, and beleive on it I didn't have to change anything, don't remember off hand

Cool! Is the sound as bad as the reviews make it out to be? Have you used it as a PC monitor?

 

[Tradesman1]

Sounds not to bad, but I run through my Logitech speakers I've had forever and yes, use it as a PC monitor daily, it's prime for simulation software I work with, TV, videos, movies (at least a good size window, but I generally have windows open all over all the monitors, text isn't quite as crisp as on a 27" monitor but much better than on a 42" 1080 TV, have one of those hooked up to my SB (Sandy Bridge) 2500K rig... My youngest loves the Sceptre for gaming, he's been toying with getting one for his gaming computer.

Alright, awesome! I'll primarily be using it to play PC and 360 games, so that sounds perfect. Thanks!

Sorry to keep bugging you, but I've been using my friends 1080p 32inch TV as a computer monitor, to test the waters a bit, and I'm having a big problem with image quality. I've set my GPU (r9 270) to the correct settings (1080 x 1920 @ 60Hz), but it's blurry-- text, games, videos, everything. I was planning on ordering the Sceptre today, but that has me a bit worried.

 

[Tradesman1]

As I think I said , I looked at a few, before getting the Sceptre, no problems thus far

Well, alrighty then! Wish me luck!
