And better. Simply because your FOV is far superior on a smaller screen than a 42'+..

Please explain. :confused:

I use my 24 inch Dell monitor for PS3,360 and the image quality is superb, much better than half of the tv's that I see in shops for silly silly money.

I can't see it myself. I think the 360/PS3 looks much better on a decent plasma than any LCD monitor.

But seriously.. how many people use a 42 foot screen?

If you meant 42"... FOV is the same on a 42" screen to a 24" screen at the same resolution.

What are you on about when you say it's far superior?

Ummokeay...

My sammy 1080p TV has a 4ms response time, I guess thats enough time for somone to spin around go prone and shoot me on MW2 (I don't think so)

and...... Input lag IS the response time.......

What Samsung model? More likely to be 30-60ms

Thats the first 360 slim picture thats been posted isn't? Looks so much nicer, really need to upgrade mine just because it is quieter.

Wow

most of you use 32"+ Flatscreens

There must be so much input lag :\

I use an LG M227WDP monitor Via Vga connection to my 60gb Xbox 360

Yeah, i'm really going to have a 20" monitor on a 40" stand in my lounge...that'd be fantastic!

Can't say i have EVER noticed any problems with response time on any TV i have used.

The older ones yes. My 6 month old has a 5ms response time.

I have it hooked up to the pc on a dual screen setup with a 24" monitor and there is no noticable difference between them when I mirror the display.

Just google "samsung Series 5 response time"

I think a lot of people are still thinking that tv's are much higher still but the newer models (bar LED which is not as fast as LCD) have the same response as a pc monitor (a modern one at that as the older pc monitors were in the 25-35ms response time bracket)

My current setup. Prefer playing xbox on the samsung monitor because I don't have to turn my head as much, the monitor on the xbox is sort of an ornament now

My 6 Series A656 is 30-60ms. What model's yours?

I know the Sony W4000s were 0ms apparently.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 12 Oct 2010 at 17:01

My sony 40EX403 is rated at 40ms in a review. Not sure what sony rates it at. But I can't see any noticable lag.

Response Time != Input Lag.

Input lag is just that, input lag. Response time you see nasty trailing of the pixels, especially blacks. Personally, anything over 25ms is VERY noticeable and starts to get just about quick enough to not notice at 16ms or so. I remember early LCD's (and the sharp PSP panels iirc) had awful response times and resulted in lots of nasty trailing. Eurgh.

Samsung LE32C530

"Samsung series 5 LCD TV comes with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), a fast 5ms response time and a 178° viewing angle."

Perfect for everything I do on it.

Just looked up your's and it has a 6ms response time where did you get 30-60ms from?

Input lag and screen refresh (response time) are two different things.

60ms is normal viewing with the picture processing and 30ms is in game mode when picture processing is deactivated.

This review says my Sony has an input lag of 40ms in game mode.

My setup has changed a fair bit since last posting, so I have made a vid of how it is now.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 7 Mar 2011 at 23:59

Mine as it will probably stay for some time now.

I'm most impressed by how you've managed to get all of that in what seems like such a small space! :cool:

Tonyator · 8 Mar 2011 at 03:08

Haven't got a picture but recently got a projector.

So the 360 setup is now a 64" screen and an Optoma HD600x

So I am guessing that you like to do a little bit of gaming?
