Need a Gaming TV
Bought an Xbox One but need a new tv to play it. I would like please the best one I can get in terms of value for money, price against quality.
It has to be 60hz (a lot of my games are 60hz only) and have a low response time so there is no lag between pressing buttons on the controller and seeing it on the screen. I was looking at the Sony W7 but I heard it's 50hz only. Is that true? Please can someone help me. It's so hard to get these two criteria's of 60hz and low response time met. |

I will see if I can find a manual. Can't find a spec but TV does have a VGA socket so it must do 60Hz |

Nigel will be able to confirm this for you, but a quick search does indicate that this is a 50/60hz capable TV.

Thanks for the lightning quick answers, I appreciate it very much. Is it just PAL 60 or will it playback NTSC? I have a big imported anime DVD collection.
Lastly, is an extended warranty a good or an unnecessary idea? |

Now thinking a 27 inch monitor would be a good idea. Will it be to small if I am 2 metres away?

![]() Either watch it via RGB SCART (no NTSC or PAL) or via HDMI (again, no NTSC or PAL) if you have an HDMI DVD player. But it will almost certainly play NTSC anyway, assuming you used an NTSC composite source. Quote:

i have an asus 27'' monitor which i am very happy with, i mostly do my gaming on pc but i also have a ps3 hooked up to it, zero input lag that i can notice. having said that, there is a 32'' tv in our living room, it does make a difference playing on a larger screen for console gaming, but my room mates are always using it so i can never get at it haha. the 32'' is a very cheap model from lg, only cost around about £260 as we are all too skint at the moment for anything fancy, i'll try to find the model number. it is excellent for gaming, no input lag and good picture. i have found with tv's that the more expensive ones with lots of fancy picture processing features have more input lag as a result, the cheaper simpler models have less input lag.

On Samsung TVs if you change the HDMI input label to "PC" it strips away all of the enhancements and gives you reduced input lag. Many models also have a dedicated Game Mode which will do much the same thing.
