Plasma, LCD, OLED, LED, best tv for next gen

Damn I'm in a bit of a stop on my setup ... Had a nice projector setup on my previous house but now I've moved and have to do with a big framsta setup from the owner that I can't move.
I strictly have no idea on how to get a projection setup on this :

I was trying to find some kind of VESA projector screen but no luck until now ...
If anybody has any idea I'll be glad to get them :(
Such a shame to have my W1070 boxed up ...
 
I have a question.

I´m very ill informed on this so bare with me.

I have an onkyo tx sr608, and Im looking to buy a 60 inch tv. A friend of mine got me a deal on this tv UN60EH60003. Basically for $650. I can pay half now and the other half in two months, which makes it a very enticing proposition.

The problem is that I think that the tv cant output sound through my Onkyo receiver. Is this true? Is there anyway around it? or should I just forget about that TV?

Thanks.

Does it support ARC ? ( both the amp and the tv )
 
Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a TV soon enough.
I will play PS3 for now and in the next year get a PS4.

I'm going to get a TV between 26" and 32". Is the difference between 720 and 1080 very noticeable on a TV this size?

Thanks.

It depends on how close your are sitting from it. There are charts you can find online that will show you optimal viewing distances for size vs resolution.

I'm an owner too. My sincerest condolences
 
Bit on the 60'' F8500. I don't want to make the same mistake I made with my Panasonic S60 and not break it in.

Does anyone know of any good guides on the best way to break it in + initial settings while doing so?

I'm half tempted to look into a calibration, but I believe the TV should have some hours under its belt before doing so, if I'm not mistaken? Then again, if I see a Geek Squad calibration deal over the holidays I may sooner than later.

Do both have to support it? Because the Tv doesnt, the receiver does.
Click to expand...

Both have to support it, if the TV does not, then it has no way of sending the audio signal back down to the receiver via the HDMI. Tv's usually do optical audio out though, unless this is some new thing a lot of these newer sets just dont do anymore, but comsidering it doesnt have ARC I would have thought maybe optical output was a given.

Looked it up, the TV does do optical audio out. Use that.
 
Crap, having a short throw projector might be a problem. I don't have nearly enough length according to my setup. The smallest I can get with the closest I can put my w1070 is a 2m base screen .... And that's a bit too much for my current setup :(
 
Okay guys, I could really use some advice. Someone pointed me to this thread after I made a thread on the gaming side, and I have been researching, digging, and trying to figure out where I should go from here.

I'm trying to get a gaming TV, and very soon. I want 60"+. I want it to look amazing when I look at the screen, but I also want low input lag.

I've narrowed my choices to the following range:

Sony W950B 65"
Sony W850B 70"

Higher end Samsung such as the 7250 seen here (4k): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KJEZIBS/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I saw this TV in person and it blew me away. Unfortunately, all Samsung models have high input lag versus what I want. I am also very anxious to play Smash Bros. on my new TV, so this is a problem for me.

Any advice? Is 4k even worth it right now? I feel like based on what I saw at best buy, the larger TVs have way more wash out unless they are 4K, and that bothered me.

Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.
 
If input lag is your main concern, then most roads lead to 2013-2014 Sony W sets. I have the 950B and am pretty satisfied with it. I just wish I could have found similar size and responsiveness in a less expensive set.

If your only concerns for the TV are gaming-related, then 4K is a waste for the time being.

Thanks for the input. What size did you get in 950B? I want the 65" but I just feel like the screen is going to underwhelm.
 
From my personal experience, I would probably get an name brand like Samsung, Panasonic, or LG OLED (on sale) or Plasma (if you can find one) because of their picture quality/resolution, uniform back lighting, and usually higher refresh rates. I been through 2 LCD TVs and since 2006 (Samsung 32" 720p and LG 37" 1080p).

I now have an LG LED TV (LG 42LN5400 120hz). I really like it except for the fact that the screen isn't uniform. Most LED TV suffer from this issue and can be noticed in games like GTA5 and Minecraft.

However, I still don't think these newer TV (with the exception of maybe plasmas) are made of good quality. I would also get a warranty with any new TV no matter what the brand is.
 
I decided to take a risk and went with the Samsung 7250. The risk is that there is no discussion of input lag anywhere that I can find, other than to say that 4K Tvs have pretty bad lag. I'm hoping gaming mode is around 40 ms, which is still not ideal but okay enough. I'll post my impressions of smash and maybe, in response, I will return to the TV to Amazon!

W950 is the best 1080 LED on the market for both picture and sound. Triluminous color and extended dynamic range (look both up) for much better contrast. Wedge design for sound and Playstation Now. Better than the 2013 W900A in all regards.

Really? I've read the opposite. Maybe they just got bad units. In regards to the Triluminous does it even do anything? RTINGS described it as just a marketing feature.

-edit- I might be thinking of another Bravia model with what I've read about it not being that good.

The problem with optical is that most TVs send audio in stereo then.
 
Guys, I need some help. I'm looking for a budget 32inch TV for my PS3 and my soon to be bought PS4. I am torn between these 3 models:

Samsung UE32H5000 - £219

LG 32LB580V - £259

Sony KDL32W705B / Sony KDL32W706BSU - £329 (these seem to be exactly the same besides their color)

Are these TVs any suitable for gaming at all? Smart features are a nice plus but I'm more concerned with picture quality and input lag (though I'm not too obsessed about it since I'm not into competitive FPS). Do you think that the Sony ones are that much better that they justify spending more than £100 compared to the Samsung?

Triluminous is a hardware difference, so it's not really a marketing thing.

You heard right. The 950 Is factually worse than the w900. The panel is garbage compared to 900s VA panel. 900 triliminous also uses quantum dots and is 240hz. 950 has neither of these.
 
Your right,

I got a w905 and its great, problem is we have 2 gaming Tv's in same room.

So I want another one, the lg next to it just looks bad... but if we had 2 sony 900 series the control codes would be the same so it would not work as it would switch both TV's at same time.

So looking for a 905 alternative, 47-55 inches. Input lag + picture are important.

Cant find anything !
 
So my tv has started doing this, despite no one having touched the settings:

Which means I'm currently looking for a new tv, though my main constraint is that it needs to be 32". Also, is 1080P worth it for a screen that size?

I'm also planning on buying a PS4 and a Wii U in the near future while I have my PS3 currently connected to the set.

Thanks.

I only ever deal in 1080. That being said I'm not an expert, but I sit close enough to my tv
 
After not keeping up with the tech for 5 years, I'm suddenly in the market for a new TV. I feel like everything that has a high rating is 55" or above, but I need something smaller than that. I'd really like something in the 42-50" range with good picture quality and low lag. That's it. I don't care about 120 Hz or 3D or smart features. Just a good raw display. Any suggestions?

I'm interested n the 22 inch version of that Samsung....was also wondering if anyone has a tv from this series.
 
I just picked up a Samsung 55 inch 4k curved TV this week, I know the curve is a gimmick but it does look damn sexy in my living room. I moved my 50 inch 720 Samsung plasma to my bedroom :)

I just wanted to say that I love to come back here and read this impression. This HDTV is simply so gorgeous, I wish I had it in my home. I'll just sit in the store and drool at it, whenever I'm at Best Buy. I've the last Kuro Elite ever made, and I am still wowed at its IQ after all these years, but I know I'm springing for OLED the moment it kicks the bucket.

Is it the 7250? There are no tests online regarding input lag yet, that's why I am asking. I just bought the 65" version of the 7250 curved TV. I'm scared for Smash Bros. But I was wondering if you had tested it.

I'm also happy no one has criticized my decision here yet, though I'm sure someone will haha. Its a really tough decision.
 
Is the input lag of the Samsung 7100 65" a major issue at all? I want a main living room tv that'll also be the place I game, the sale on this one next week is pushing me in its direction

I too sit about 5 feet from my tv (the tv is on my desk while I sit on my bed) so I can see a bit of fuzz in 720P but wasn't sure if 1080P would be all that noticeable on a 32-inch tv.

That said, 36-inches might be my max size (due to the constraint of my desk) but I'd probably go with another 32-inch tv at this point.

Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
Even if I dont use the optical audio out I could still use my tv with the onkyo and a PS3/4 right? Since the audio signal would come from the PS3/4 being connected to the receiver...

I wonder why RTINGS passed it off as a marketing feature then with no effect on picture quality? Weird. I've never seen a set with it in person so I was genuinely curious about it.

I remember people were praising the W900 PQ and it had triliminous.

Probably because like people have been saying, it's a pixel structure thing, but you can turn it on and off on the options which is very silly.

When you turn it off it simulates that the pixels are not triluminos and gives therefore crappier results, who'd want that?


Anyway, Triluminos is quite a real deal for LCD's.
 
My Panasonic Plasma broke and I got a full refund from the company. So I am looking to buy this 49 inch 4K Sony LED. It has passive 3D and it's in my budget too. Should I go for it or are there better models from competing companies like Samsung and LG?

If it's for gaming, most things Samsung or LG will suck balls.

Unless it's a Samsung F8500, because picture quality will be as you expect from a plasma, I can like with the over-33ms lag in that situation (but that's me)

... A projector? :P

Projectors are cheap per inch, and the BenQ ones are actually snappy.


Other than that you can't really aim low due to ensuring panel quality is good et all.

The cost in projectors isn't the projector itself, it's the cost of building the home theater room in your house to accommodate it and the bulb replacements. The unit itself is cheap but you'll be paying a lot more upfront to install it in a home and then you have constant consumables replacement during it's lifetime. Also if you move it's awfully inconvenient to rip everything out and take it with you. A TV you just pick it up and bring it to your new house.

Yea the W900 is pretty sick TV. I wish this year Sony had something like it, I got 60-75% off any Sony TV and even then I thought the 950 came with too much bloat, so just picked up a 700b. Hopefully next year.

Too much bloat? It's the same TV, but the 950 has 3d, triluminous color and much better contrast and sound. Still, w700 is not bad but I'd take a w950 over a w900 easy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but w900 is last years flagship 1080p? w950 is this year. w950 has that wedge design which I think is a waste and a camera, it also has an IPS panel which I'm a bit undecided on, it looks great in stores but not sure how it looks in a dark home.
