stay away from vizio, OP. mine just crapped out on me after only 2+ years of 3 - 4 hours of use per day.

on a side note, do HDTVs have bad input lag if you're using them for console gaming, or only if you use them as PC monitors?

This particular TV when used as a pc monitor had 163ms of input lag when I tried syncing Crypt of the Necrodancer in windows 7. It was fucking awful. Game-mode was put on the TV.
When used with a console, however, I didn't notice any particular lag.

Honestly, check sears. I got a 4k 3d 65" Samsung for $200 because it had a scratch in the middle and they were discontinuing their electronics section.

Scratches are out of the question, but it's worth looking into. Thanks.

Sony, Samsung, or Panasonic are all good brands. My dad bought a 55" Samsung at Wal-Mart (can't remember the model, but it's a 4k, smart, curved screen fwiw) and aside from being a pain in the ass to set up it's pretty damn good.

I use a Panasonic TC-L37S1 HDTV (from 2008 or 2009) as my living room PC monitor and I have had no issues with input lag at all. Maybe dumb TVs just don't have an input lag issue but I'm thinking that input lag isn't an issue unless you're playing competitively or measure it and obsess over it. 1080p 60hz via gtx770 and no issues at all, even with mouse/kb.

input lag is a meme, especially with tvs from the last few year.

>>60588466
Average TV lag is super-noticeable even while mousing back and forth or typing (shitty models unconfigured have lag comparable to typing in a terminal window on dialup!) You just happened to luck into a Panasonic IPS LCD, which was the standard low-latency advice before manufacturers started advertising signal-to-display numbers.

>>60588769
are consoles not affected or do users just not notice the lag due to using controllers?

He watches TV from some 4 meters away. 4k probably won't do anything.

>>60587912
why would you buy a new tv when you can just get a new TCON board or power supply? Any TV can be fixed for under $100 in parts unless you are a moron who cracked the LCD.

What about this?

Try fucking with the flex cables going to the LCD panel. You can mess it up more so try it after everything else. And by fuck with it I mean poke it, push it, rub it, etc. I've seen it work, and I watched a coworker use a pencil eraser on the adhesive where the panel and ribbon connect.

4K is a Jewish trick.
Get the best 1080 full HD LED you can afford.
