Does 50Hz matter for a gaming TV?

We have a Sony CRT from around 1990 that can display 60Hz no probs.
Don't take that too literally. I was trying to emphasise the point that unless you have a really really old/out of date/obsolete Tv that was built many decades ago, chances are your modern Lcd is going to work.
 
No games REQUIRE 60hz, some support it, but as you said they're few.

yes they do my son got a 1080p tv for christmas and he doesnt actually have a hdmi cable for his xbox so i was trying to see what looked less fuzzy 50 or 60hz and i think it was red dead redemption undead nightmare that refused to load unless the console was set to 60hz

Looking at either a Sony KDL32EX403U or Samsung LE32C530 currently - hopefully they support 60Hz etc - need to look...

ps3ud0 :cool:

If your going to be using your HDTV with a HD source then the 60Hz support isn't an issue as it doesn't matter anymore. What does matter is which HD resolution's it supports, 720p 1080p etc.

The problem is only if are intending on connecting to an SD source (i.e connecting over SCART or composite connections) with games that only support 60Hz - the chances of any modern TV not supporting 60Hz over these connections is pretty slim, but why would you be doing this on a HDTV anyway... :)
