1080p TV for gaming

[bravo95]

Im looking for a Tv that will server a multipurpose for me, gaming and television.

I like to game with my computer a lot, so my question is would this be a good investment? Would the 1080p bog my games down ( FPS wise )?

if it would would a 720p TV be doable?

with 570sli 1080p will not be a problem for you, and going down to 720p don't worth it, go for 1080p!!

Stick with 1080p for your system.

BUt I'd suggest some other TV --- THat one is very expensive for what it is ( 40" 60Hz - no mention of response time ) and according to the specs does not have a PC input (No DVI connector so would require you use HDMI) -- Plus if using it for a computer monitor the added internet wifi connectivity is not needed since your PC could handle that so your paying for features you most likely would not use.

For Example I just got this 42" Vizio which has 120Hz and has a 5 ms response time and includes the proper connectors for use as a monitor for $100 less !! (though I am not using it as a monitor currently since I like to watch TV and use the computer at the same time so prefer using my ACER 23" monitor for the computer and the TV for TV viewing !

Thank you so much, i thought it said there was one pc port to it. I have to buy Tv's in person to get the best picture, im simply looking at a broad spectrum here on prices and how much is what. thanks for the tips though.
