Hello, i'm having some questions. The first one is that i notice "blurry" screen when i move around and, when i stop moving, the screen becomes clear. Is something that is starting to bother me and i'd like to know why it happens. Btw, tv is a philips 42 inch, i think, led, full hd, supports 3d and is 60 hz (dont know the model so these specs might be wrong). My specs are i7 4790k, evga reference gtx 980, 8 gb ram 1333mhz and evga 850 w g2

The second question is that i recently had an offer to sell my gtx 980 for almost the price i bought it (got it 1 month after it's release) and i'd like to know if it is worth it to sell and buy an evga acx 2.0 sc gtx 980 ti nowadays. Consider that, if i sell my gtx 980, i will have more than the half of the price of 980 ti in my country, plus, it comes with mgs v, which is my favorite game, and that game alone on steam is around 7% the price of the gpu in my country. So, what you guys think? Thanks in advice.

Have you tried enabling Game Mode? This will make sure it's post processing and other features are turned off.

TV's and Monitors are very close, TV's offering far superior picture quality, and obviously far better electronics goes inside unless you buy a super cheap TV. Most people don't, they're very inexpensive. If a TV has got less than 33 ms of input lag, it's near impossible to notice a difference between that and a good "gaming" monitor, which are around 9-10 ms. When people say theres a huge difference, theyre lying, it's very simple. However, majority of the TV's aren't specifically made for use with PC. While there are displays that can INTERNALLY do TRUE 120 Hz, and 240 Hz. The problem is that EXTERNALLY they only accept a...
What game is this with (assuming its a game) and honestly, you should not be gaming on a TV. Others will say I'm wrong, but every time I've tried gaming on a TV I get weird blurring and screen tearing even though my rig is perfectly fast and vsync is on. Try on a monitor before you do anything. That hardware is some of the best around.
 
Thank you for your responses. Is there any difference between monitors and tv then? Like the former being more apropriate for high end pcs? Also, do you guys advice trading the 980 for 980 ti in the situation i said (being able to get a great deal for my gtx 980 and get a 980 ti and a game i'm really hyped for)?
 
There IS a difference, but its something that I do not remember very well, all I know is that most people try to avoid using a TV for gaming. If you wanna know the true difference, google 😉

But otherwise, stick with a monitor. Check your rig by playing on a monitor and see if the blur goes away (also, whatever game you are playing MAY have a blur setting ON that you can turn off!)


AND YES THE 980TI is basically the titan only better for gaming 😉
 
I google but i couldnt find many concrete answers. Some people say that, nowadays, tvs and monitors are quite similar. Others, that tvs offers higher hz while monitors offers greater dpi. Unfortunately, there isnt a single store around here that shows gaming monitors in action, so i guess that's why i thought monitors and tvs are almost the same
 
Again, I would just try checking in game video settings and see if their is an option for motion blur. Some games may not have it, but will inherently have it in the game. Battlefield 4 is like that. If it is still really bad, find a monitor somewhere and test with that.

While there are displays that can INTERNALLY do TRUE 120 Hz, and 240 Hz. The problem is that EXTERNALLY they only accept a signal of up to 60 Hz. Reason being all external devices you would connect to a TV, don't need more. A movie needs only 24 Hz, which the TV then shows you 5 times if 120 Hz, and 10 times if 240 Hz. If it's a 3D movie, it only needs 48 Hz. Monitors on the other hand, are specifically designed for gaming. Recording video, and rendered frames are worlds apart.

Thanks for your answer, suzuki. Ill try gamr mode when i arrive home (at work, atm) and ill update. Btw, what do you think abouy upgrading a gtx 980 for a 980 ti? I know it may seem overkill but i plan on getting a new tv or monitor next year and i can sell my gtx 980 right now and get 3/5 of ti's price right now. What do you think?
 
Good to hear. Yes, it's hidden there, and manufacturers usually don't tell people to enable this mode when a PC is connected to it. What likely happend to you was that 1 or more features TV has to improve the picture, or fake extra frames, to make things look smoother during movies/shows. This effect is called the soap opera effect.
