What would be better a LCD HDTV with 1080p and 60Hz or a LCD HDTV with 720p and 600Hz?

Question by quickistheone: What would be better a LCD HDTV with 1080p and 60Hz or a LCD HDTV with 720p and 600Hz?
They are both 40 inch. They both have a 2,000:1 contrast ratio. I will mainly be using it for Gaming, but also movies.

Best answer:

Answer by a Halo 1 Elite
obviously the LCD HDTV 1080p it has higher quality and uses MUCH lesss power than then the 720p tv

By the way, that 600Hz will add a very large number on your power bill.

Even though it is more expensive, the 1080p tv is more worth it because not only will you enjoy higher quality tv, but you will also save a lot of money because it uses less power

What is a typical response time or best for a 60HZ LCD?

Question by We need mafia back screw hogan: What is a typical response time or best for a 60HZ LCD?
My TV is 3ms response time it says, but also it’s a 120hz LCD,
is the reason my LCD has a 3ms response time because of
the 120hz refresh rate.

Best answer:

Answer by King Julien
Yes. The better the refresh rate (120hz) the better the response. I avoided the problem all together by buying a DLP and not an lcd or plasma. 60 hz are any where from 5-12ms. Theres no standard for measuring these things. You really just have to watch the tv and decide what looks best to you.

Ok 42inch Vizio 1080p 60hz will that be good for video gaming?

Question by : Ok 42inch Vizio 1080p 60hz will that be good for video gaming?
hello i found a 42inch vizio 1080p 60hz i will use this tv 90% of the time playing games on my xbox 360. will the 60hz stink on a tv that big i dont want to spend $ 80 more for 120hz if 60hz will play just fine on a 42inch tv

Best answer:

Answer by Edvin
42 inch is the lowest you can go to get the FULL benefits of an HD tv. BUT, I would say the BEST TV on a budget would have to be a tv that is both 1080p AND at 72hz. Also, you should always look at the contrast ratio as well, some TV would have big numbers on everything but lag it on the ratio. Panasonic came out with a TV recently that is 60inch, 1million:1 ratio, 120hz, 1080p, AND internet connectivity for ONE GRAND.

Q&A: I’m looking at lcd tv’s, 40-42″. What should I be looking for 1080, 720, 120hz, 60hz?

Best answer:

Answer by ZshadeZ
1080p and 120hz (possibly 240hz). Price wise I’d reccomend the TCP42S1 Panasonic plasma, though, as you can find it priced far below 120-240hz LCDs. Unless you like spending twice as much money for an LCD that does as well, then go nuts.

I am just concerned with the refreshrate with each TV. Is there gonna be a huge difference in refreshrate for the 40in compared to the 32in?

Best answer:

Answer by Kamil
Human eyes don’t have a refresh rate that big so you will not see any difference between the two computers have 30hz or more and i don’t see a difference between my 120hz tv

Will this new 42″ lcd 1080p 60hz tv be better than my old crt tv?

Question by : Will this new 42″ lcd 1080p 60hz tv be better than my old crt tv?
Im buying this new 42″ Sharp lcd hdtv which is 60hz. I keep hearing that this refresh rate will suffer from a ghosting effect and a trailing effect with video games like bf3 or mw3. my current tv is a Sharp crt tv which is at least 5years old maybe more and I never notice this problem when I play fast paced games on my crt. Are crt tvs just immune to ghosting? Would I be down grading the quality of my gaming by moving from an old 27″ crt tv which I never notice this ghosting or trailing effect to a 42″ 1080p 60hz lcd tv which I hear suffers from ghosting?

Is there a noticeable difference between 60hz and 120hz LCD TV?

Question by Paras P: Is there a noticeable difference between 60hz and 120hz LCD TV?
Looking at getting a 46inch 60hz tv. Will my picture lag when I play a blu ray…is the difference between 60hz and 120hz that obvious?

Best answer:

Answer by kg7or
Yes. If buying an LCD TV, 120 hz should be high on your list of criteria. Fast motion blur is an inherent problem with LCDs, and the 120 hz refresh rate is an important improvement.
