| 1341201 | 2013-05-14 01:10:00 | Those 120Hz/240Hz/###Hz TVs have image processors which add frames in between the usual 24/50/60 frames/fields that come from the source, this is what makes on-screen motion appear "smoother" to the eyes. Video/HiFi purists usually despise it because it's not "accurately reproducing the source material" but to most people it looks better so f*** 'em tbh. | pablo d (15490) | ||
| 1341202 | 2013-05-14 01:18:00 | ^^ pablo d is right. We upgaded our 46" LCD and went for a 55" LED! |

| 1341204 | 2013-05-14 04:37:00 | I've had 3 sony LCDs (2 were stolen) 40, 40, 46" they were all good but the picture was a little better each time and the 46 was very nice. Then I bought a cheapish ($1600) 60" Samsung plasma on my last birthday and it's awsome. Much nicer looking and a great veiwing angle. The LCD tvs did better as pc monitors but overall the plasma is better. I think with cheaper models plasma is superior but with the more expensive ones it just becomes about preference. |

| 1341207 | 2013-05-14 05:53:00 | Yeah the Plasmas definitely looked sharper than the LCD's but I'd still personally opt for an LED over a Plasma given the choice :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1341208 | 2013-05-14 21:45:00 | I'm not convinced that bigger is better. The eye has a very tiny area that is dedicated to detailed (hi res) vision. The rest of the eye is a very low res receiver tuned to react to movement. The bigger (or closer) the TV, the more of the image from the TV that falls outside the hi res receptor area into the low res movement area, and the more the eye has to scan across the TV to take in any detail. Ditto there's more chance of getting movement flicker effects if the TV is too large / too close (although those frame inventing models might help... if the algorithm can interpret the movement correctly... but I defy any such algorithm to work on a rock video with lights and scene cuts about twice a second). I'm using an affordable 33" TV, with zero desire to go larger, and I'm sitting well back from it... in fact my monitor subtends a greater angle than my TV, and that's another area where bigger ain't necessarily better as well... except for FPS gaming ;) |
