TV Response Time Question.

MahtXL · Jul 22, 2013

I recently attempted to up my TV size from my current LED 1080p 60hz 24 inch to a 46 with same specs, they gave me the wrong model- a 120hz 10ms response time 40 inch. This made my mouse feel sluggish and slow. like it had bad mouse acceleration on. My question is simply. the proper model they are now going to give me is a 46 inch 60hz 6.5ms response time LED TV, will i have or notice any mouse lag going from my current 24 inch 60hz 5ms response time TV to the 6.5ms response time tv? or is it not the response time that dictates the mouse lag, but rather the extra HZ adding frames that werent there?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

TLDR- will i notice or have any mouse lag going from a 5ms response time TV to a 6.5ms response time tv? thanks

(both are 60hz LED 1080p) my current is a 24 inch, and my new is a 46.

SIDE NOTE= i also have my eyes on the Lg 42Ls3450 (42 inch) but sadly i cant find its response time anywhere online. can anyone find out for me?

so 6.5 shouldnt be an issue really, as its just half a milisecond slower?

It's good enough for gaming. And I'd like to clarify something for you. The hertz dictate how many frames your monitor is capable of offering per second. The FPS dictate how many frames ARE shown per second to you, in the monitor. Now comes the real thing. When te FPS is too high(let's say 60+fps), and you only have a 60hz monitor, you will start to suffer from stuttering, the images rendered may appear cut, and glitches like that. It happens because the monitor is not capable of showing more than 60fps, even though your computer is. That's why some people use V-sync.

And the hertz don't modify anything related to gameplay besides that.

Do you know why the 120hz 10ms response time tv gave me bad mouse sluggishness? like on my desktop and in game it was slow and sluggish and just unpleasant.

Well 10ms sounds too much of response time to me, so maybe that's why it felt so sluggish.

but 6.5 should be fine? (im using a tv with 5 right now and its fine)

Still worried im going to notice the 1.5ms slower response time :/

Most likely not. If you're THAT worried, there are plenty of monitor's reviews on the web.
As I said earlier, there is only 0.5ms of difference between it and the ''acceptable'' time for gaming.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that acceptable time produces no noticeable mouse lag on the desktop or in game?

if so im sold. but id still like to compare the 46 inch to the LG 42, but like i said in my original post (model number is at the end of the post) i cant find its response time anywhere online, not even LGs site has it.

yeah its not listed anywhere :/ which leads me to think they may be trying to hide it because its horrid. But this is LG a trusted big name brand. i dont get it.

I found a review of the 46 inch with the 6.5ms response time. Guy says its a great monitor. but he was using it with VGA. id assume HDMI and VGA the only difference is picture quality, and the mouse wouldnt be affected at all. So i think im safe in assuming this 46incher is going to work out. Not to mention i also found actual PC monitors with the same hz level and 6.5ms response time, so if there are actual monitors with the same specs as this TV, looks like ill be set and wont be experiencing any mouse sluggishness. or am i assuming to much?

lol

Called LG and they have received no reports of any input lag issues with the 42 inch model, and it has the GAMING MODE setting that ive heard helps eliminate all input lag. They couldnt tell me the response time however, but it being LG and them being one of the top 10 HDTV brands i think i should just trust that its going to be a great HQ set. and it would cost me 60 bucks vs the 90 id have to fork over for the 46 inch no name brand (returning this 120hz 40 inch for store credit). So cheaper and most likely better quality. Should i go LG then?
