Farts Domino posted:Is there such a thing as 120mhz plasma? I've seen a lot of these 600mhz models which I know isn't really the same as standard refresh rate, but what effect does it have? Is it better than 120? Worse? Weird? 600Hz refers to subfield drive, an electrical property that all plasmas need to work properly. It has been misappropriated by marketing and has nothing to do with refresh rate.

Whenever I think of alternative mounts for screens, I think of Ergotron. This unit will support up to 70 pounds of TV - but it's $400 from the maker. Here's the cheapest price I could find for it on Google Shopping: http://www.electrociti.com/_e/Mounting_Kits/sproduct/1023084243/Ergotron_Mounting_Arm_for_Flat_Panel_Display.htm

For that budget you should be able to get a good 42" TV. 40" and you'll wish you got bigger, 37" is extinct, and 32" is too small. The next size up, 46"/47", is the next price tier up.

Is there any consensus on RCA TVs? Sears has a 52" LED on sale for $479 for Memorial Day. I know they're not first-tier, but are they worthwhile?

BonoMan posted:Oh hey Seiki's 39" 4K TV is now just $520. This is pretty tempting, aside from a lack of 4k content out there I wonder how good it actually is. ~80% of the Amazon reviews give it 4 or 5 stars, but many of them seem to be using it as a computer monitor.

I'm trying to find an inexpensive stand for a 32" LCD TV. Not a wall mount, but a desk stand. Preferably under $100. I thought I found one at staples.com so I ordered it, but when it arrived I found it has to be drilled into the desk/table you're using. Any leads on a freestanding TV stand?

Wowporn posted:So then what's the case with these TV's with 600hz refresh? I thought it was just a typo at first but I've seen it enough places that I guess it's not. I realize it's not actually loving 600hz but then what are they actually doing? I've mostly settled on the TV I want but it has this and it makes me nervous it'll gently caress something up when I connect it to my computer. That's advertised on plasma TVs, it's an electrical property called sub-field drive that they need just to work properly. Has nothing to do with the screen's refresh rate.

Epi Lepi posted:Did they stop making TVs that are more than 32" but less than 39"? I was out browsing for a new one today and didn't see any which sucks, I wanted to get something bigger than my 32" but I don't know if I can actually fit a 39" in the space I have. The 37" size has been going extinct for a couple of years or so, Best Buy Marketplace has a couple and Amazon has a few more, but the caveat is that they may be obsolete models.

Drunk Badger posted:I need to get a TV some time between now and the start of November, as I'm moving out and my roommate is taking the TV with him. We had a decent Samsung 48" or so model so something near that size is fine, and outside of that the only things I care about are 1080p, the ability to connect to a networked media server, and won't lag horribly with my PS3. What model are you guys liking these days, and considering I can wait for a sale, when's the best time to buy one? Should I just wait for the end of November instead? Black Friday's near the end of November, if you can hold out that long.

I've been asked to suggest a TV that will be used as a monitor, primary purpose for presentations. Won't be used as a TV but may be used for video games. 60-72" and will be wall mounted. Prefer a less expensive model that is still good quality. I haven't yet been told a budget for this, but I'm open to suggestions in any case.

Granted, the OLED tv was still twice what I paid for the W900A, but since I was being reimbursed for the ST50 I could have made it work. I would have held on and lived with the yellow splotches on the ST50 until the price drops of the LG TV if I knew that was going to happen.

I've wanted to get a 4K TV for some time but I'm concerned I'll lose 120hz functionality, but then I remembered that you don't truly get >60hz on TV's its just a processing effect, whilst my PC monitor is as advertised...is any of that correct? No, there are plenty of TVs with native 120Hz panels. I believe Vizio M series has them, for example - someone correct me if I'm mistaken.
