The Ultimate Gaming Flat Screens

As gamers it's expected to want the very best when it comes to your gaming experience, even if it costs a little extra money. Your consoles support the latest in graphics, but what's the point if your TV doesn't? Luckily, TV manufacturers are always looking for ways to better their TV's display. Unfortunately, the latest and greatest in High Definition TVs never come cheap, and at the same time happen to be oh-so tempting. With that in mind, here's a list of the Ultimate Gaming Flat Screens.

I just bought an LG 1080p 47" 120hz lcd for $600 at frys and it is a big difference from my samsung 720p 42" plasma I paid $650 for just over a year ago.. I will eventually get the 3d tv but for now I am enjoying what I have.

The_Count4980d ago

OLED is the future I yell ye ;) Keep an eye out for it. Much more energy efficient and superior contrast ratios.

OneSneakyMofo4980d ago

OLED takes the best of both worlds: the darkest blacks from the Plasmas, the energy efficiency and contrast of LCDs. I can't wait for this technology to hit the markets.

CobraKai4980d ago

I definitely want an OLED tv. Seeing one on display makes me drool.

fossilfern4980d ago

When OLED is at the right price I will get one right away but for the moment id look out for EDGE LIT LED screens probably the best form of LED TVs to get

OverdosedWitDopeness4980d ago

@Darth - I waz wondering how does 120hz effect gaming any noticeable improvements? cuz i waz thinking about selling my 50in 1080p plasma to get one of those tvs.

Gue14980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

in now way... 120hz is just an expression to make the masses believe they are getting a better performance tv.

Having a 120hz tv is like having a 1080p set to play 720p games. There is no 120hz content and there never will outside of the PC environment.

When you activate the 120hz option it'll actually make everything look worse but 120hz sets tend to be made of higher quality than 60hz though so the blurring will be less noticiable and the contrast will be higher.

divideby04980d ago

^ big diff in a 120 vs 60 sets..
just watch hockey or extreme sports.. I can clearly see a diff with the 120 sets... no motion blur..

unless you have a crappy panel, you will probably not see a big diff in gamming

I would NOT buy a HD set until mid next year, unless you are desparate... 240Hz 3D sets will be reasonable...

why buy now and miss out on the next big thang

darthv724980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

I can tell there is a difference between the two regarding the 120hz of the lcd and the 60 of the plasma. It may not be as noticeable on games as it is on tv/movies but you can tell.

Overall it tends to cover up the imperfections in the frames by blending them quicker. The effect is really noticeable in animated movies like cars or shrek more so than live movies.

It is not so much an expression like Gue1 says. I thought it was until i got one and you just notice things differently. Not better or worse but...differently.

cyberwaffles4980d ago

yep, OLED's are the cream of the crop at the moment. can't wait to see what models will come down the pipeline later on when they're cheaper and even more powerful/efficient.

writersblock4980d ago

Im gonna wait a few months to see whats coming out, and if any better version of 3D comes up. If not, Im buying a 60 inch 3D LED and sticking with that till the next big thing comes up

dirthurts4980d ago

Great picture, and basically no log.
Turn off the 240hz crap though. It just adds artifacts.

AliTheBrit194980d ago

My Samsung LCD is pretty awesome

LED's are easily the best though.

bailoutbenny4980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

Beats my 55" Pioneer Elite Plasma.

Edit: Except a bigger Pioneer Elite Plasma.

popup4980d ago

I am running a 125" projector setup but would drop it in an instant for your Plasma (well, maybe keep both). Still the best screen my eyes have seen by quite a way.

cyberwaffles4980d ago

yeah projection sets are really neat too. almost baffles me why they sometimes look better than some LCDs and plasmas i've seen in the past.

popup4980d ago

Sorry, just to clear up, I mean a projector, projecting onto a 125" surface like a movie theatre not a rear projection television.

Angrychinchilla4980d ago

I have a Pioneer Kuro 2 and I laugh when people talk about their LCDs being the best.

Can I Date Your Avatar: Sexual Harassment in Online Gaming (WayoftheNerd.com)

"More times than not guys have said, “I don’t see any girls playing Call of Duty!” and it isn’t limited to just Call of Duty, you can insert any game into that statement and yes, a guy has said it. But the truth is that there are plenty of females playing all of these massively popular games online, be it on PlayStation Network or Xbox Live; they are just hiding from you and this is why.

The amount of times a female gets sexually harassed over these games, in one way or another, is beyond me as a male..."

funny man!

that's the way it goes man!

women are just made of meat that men would want to eat up!

60million PSN users, now I know where the 30million half game from, and the only game on Home.

Kon4858d ago

"women are just made of meat that men would want to eat up!" That was quite disturbing.

-Alpha4858d ago

Sadly his comment is resoundingly true. That simply is how women are perceived a large majority of the time

@ Jack

A lot of crap coming from you there. So from what you say, all your ex-GFs didn't want anyone that didn't look like Brad Pitt or was rich so that makes you a liar because I seriously doubt you look like Brad and are rich. You just sound like some disgruntled troll that has been turned down and rejected a lot. Also sound like the women you did date if any dumped your ass, so now you are trashing them like you are some saint and they were the problem when it was more than likely you were the problem. Go look in the mirror before you trash on women because your LITTLE pride got hurt.

Butt hurt troll, people like you are the reason why females hide on video games so not to have to deal with losers like you who treat them like trash because they reject you.

"I don't see any girls playing Wii fit"
"I don't see any girls playing farmville"
"I don't see any girls playing... kitchen themed games"
I could go on...

Good article though! Funny :D And serious :/
That's how it should be.

Neckbear4858d ago (Edited 4858d ago )

Such foul creatures still exist?

I thought we had banished them from the pace of our manly Earth last century, and presented them with their utmost beloved friend and life companion: the kitchen.

...Guess there are still some out there that want to build a revolution.

...May the Lord have mercy on us, for all the sins we must commit to extinguish this threat aside once and for all.

Men, it is the time to rise, and fight!

But ah, on-topic:

Honestly, if you don't like it, then change your sex.

Or something.

But ah, as long as women don't go "HURR IMA GURL GAEMR GUISE!" online, I don't mind playing with them.

...Then again, nope, women that go all like "YES I'M A GIRL AND I PLAY GAMES" are in every corner of online gaming.

And beyond.

wotnerd4858d ago

It shouldn't come to that, there is no reason why girls have to take the backseat and change their gender to be able to play a game.

firefoxprime4858d ago

haha...sounds like that MEN vs. WOMEN = (galactic warfare) anime "Vandread". Check it out. Its pretty awesome.

StarScream4Ever4858d ago

Well this what happened last nite when gaming with my gf on Blk Ops.

Kid in game,"WTF! Girls don't play COD! GTFO!"

My gf,"Hey STFU kid or I'm gonna find where you live, grab you by the leg and shake you til you drop your lunch money!"

Yes girls DO play games.

distorted_reality4858d ago

I'd be quite worried if I was you.

It's only a matter of time before she shakes you down for you lunch money as well.

StarScream4Ever4858d ago

Well I pay lunch. She pays for our games. So it's a win win. :)

-Alpha4858d ago

LOL! That's an awesome comeback
