Hey guys, as I mentioned I don't post on forums much, and as such never figured out the "mutli-quote" forum function. So excuse me while I answer some posts in boring old plain text format.
It was a while ago but I -believe- the tv was rated at 16ms, though I can't find a spec sheet anymore. As I mentioned, I was looking for the lowest latency 55" 3d I could find (though to my chagrin, turns out that latency measurement only applies to 2d mode, so 3d still lags to hell).
Thank you to those of you who came to my defense. Don't feel
too sorry for me, though, as I'm a 36-year old grown man and actually fairly assertive in real life. There's just something about forums that tends to keep me mum. You know, it's funny, I swear I was just thinking of posting the other day how much
nicer the tym community seems than the elitist a-holes over at SRK
I guess a sensitive topic can bring the rage out of anyone.
And, though I
promised myself I wouldn't no matter how I was flamed, let me momentarily defend my intelligence... or at least my knowledge re: input latency. I'm well aware, and have been most of my life, of the latency advantage that monitors confer, as well as the fact that adding input latency to internet latency creates a cumulative effect. I tried to pepper my post with disclaimers and "anticipating objection" (old debate term) statements to show as much. But I can't blame anyone for not reading the whole book. My whole point was that the
difference in input lag seemed much higher than the difference between the two displays. Of course this is all completely unscientific and anecdotal.
I never bothered before because I had played many online games, including fighters, on both displays and had never noticed much of a difference. I simply thought perhaps someone else had had the same line of thought, despite knowledge of latency differences, and so hadn't bothered to try their monitor. Keep in mind that there are likely tons of noobs and intermediates lurking these forums too afraid to post, as typically only the "pro" posts get much respect (but you guys r still way chiller than SRK
).
Anyway, I hope it helps someone, but it might well not. Just sharing my story. If it does, I certainly don't blame anyone who it might help if they don't rush here to post it and be called an idiot for not trying it sooner
