So ive been looking into getting a new screen. I found 3 so far that look good but still unsure. I want it to be 40-50" and 1080p, i would like for 3 hdmi's, component, r/l audio out.
I will be watching movies off of my pc and a dvd player, some xbox 360 gaming, and most gaming on my pc. My limit on the price is basicly where the Toshiba is.
The three i found are:

I would go Vizio. It's the only smart and 120 hz screen in the list.

Well being a smart tv dosent seem like it offers anything better, and as for hz i know hdmi cant have 120hz (correct me if im wrong) so im limited by the hdmi.

I don't believe you can perform at 120Hz though without using a DVI-D connection.


Ill be using hdmi and i havent seen any dp tvs that are decent priced or at all.

As long as it is an LCD TV and not Plasma it is probably going to be just as good as the next (for computer use). Of course different TVs might have better picture than another one. :) 

Basically, check them out in person and pick the one you like best. BTW, keep an eye out for the amount of glare; the high gloss screens could cause headaches for computer use.

P.S. LG TVs in the 47" size often have IPS panels and a semi-gloss/semi-matte finish (they aren't super glossy).

If you want to post back which one you got, I can tell you the settings to use for computer use if you like. TVs are designed for watching TV and add a ton of processing effects that distort the image from what you would normally see on a computer screen; thus, you have to disable a lot of those processing features if you want it to be more like a computer monitor.


BTW, have you checked if you can handle the "screen door effect" from TVs. TVs have a very low resolution vs screen size, so they will show a grid between the pixels similar to a screen door. If you sit close enough, this may not be very nice to have.
