Even if your TV is native 120 Hz (which most of them are, even 4k TV's), you will be getting no higher than 60 Hz, because a TV doesn't act like a monitor, when connected to an external device, in that sense they're very different.

Depending on which TV you're planning to buy, it's not possible to tell you. Stay around 40 ms or lower in terms of input lag, and you'll be good, if you play using a 500 or 1000 Hz refresh rate mouse.

sony w800D and lglf6300 sony has 37.1ms input lag and lg has 50.1ms-63.1 input lag but lg got very nice interface does 50.1 will be a serious issue ??

That depends. You have to try the two to find out, I can't tell you, because we're all differnt,

ok thanks man any suggestion from your side ???

 

[Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163]

That depends on what panel type you want.

If you prefer wide viewing angles and low contrast, go with IPS.

If you prefer narrow viewing angles, and high contrast, go with VA.

Samsung only makes VA, LG only makes IPS.

Sony, Philips, and other brands, use a bit of both.

I may be wrong, but I believe that is incorrect for a few TVs: Sony XBR-series, Vizio P-Series, and Vizio M-Series. Those really are 120 Hz @ 1080p when used as a monitor, but only 60Hz at 1080p 4:4:4 (the Sonys) and only 60 Hz at 4k (Sonys and Vizios).

That's correct. But, generally, 60 Hz is the limit on most of the other TV's on the market, even running 1080p on 4k. That's because earlier on, the 4k TV's that they shipped, only came with HDMI 1.4. Only recently is when we started to see HDMI 2.0 on graphics cards, and TV's. I didn't mean to say that no 4k TV's support displaying true 120 Hz. Sorry if that confused you, not my intention.
