Hi!
ok, ages ago, when i built my pc i decided i wanted to play some pc gaming to get a feel so i knocked out some unreal for a good few months.
i always found it hard to see, or if there was a lot going on, i found that the screen seemed blurry..
i thought it was cos i sucked and may be eyes wernt too good.
updating gpu drivers didnt really help much..
now, a few years on (still the same 2nd hand free tft screen i was given) i have hooked up my xbox to the tft for some HD gaming. and although its loads and loads (i mean loads) clearer (i can see mist and fog n things i didnt even know were there!) there is a problem. call of duty 4 is the game still, and im prepping for some cod5. if i move around quickly it actually looks like the screen blurs for a sec.
this tft is old, and i mean i wouldnt be surprised if it was 10 years old! its big n grey and needs to be given to someone less fortunate...
i explained to someone it seems like the pixels arnt reacting quick enough to whats being inputted. and they mentioned response times and i googled and looked about and found there could be two factors.
now im pretty sure that my tft was one of the cheap ones when it came out, and may be the response time is large. but what about input / output lag?
i am ok on saving for a bit and going and spending say £150 on a new 22" widescreen for gaming. but obviously i want a 2ms or so response time and low input lag.. but no manufacturer states input lag times..
and this is where OCForums comes in!
we have even hooked up the xbox a few months ago to a 32" HD TV, and we had the same problem there. i didnt know what was causing it, and i tried to adjust colour, contrast etc to help..
basically, there is no way im going to spend £500 plus on a 32" screen when i hardly ever watch tv at all, and i could spend all that and not get the sort of thing im after anyway.
what do you recommend for a good okish tft screen that has a quick / low response time from device to display output?
i seriously thought it was my eyesight at first, but now ive read up and know different i just feel stupid - im 23.
so thanks!
