Looking for a 40" TV that has a refresh higher than 60Hz to be used as a gaming monitor.

I built a powerful gaming PC, powerful enough that I get screen tears in most games that don't have Vsync. Ninety plus frames in those games with Vsync and my TV can only do sixty. I like my 40" LED TV. I tried finding a Monitor that size with a higher frame rate, doesn't exist without being curved, I don't like curved.

So I'm looking for a TV that can do anything more than 60fps when used as a monitor. I thought 3D TV's could work since they have 120hz to do 3D but I've been told that doesn't mean it'll have 120hz as a monitor. I heard there's some TVs that claim 120hz but best they can get is 90hz as a monitor. Which would be great to get at least 90hz.

Does anyone have any knowledge on any of this? Or where I can find a TV around 40" that can do more than 60hz at 1080p when use as a monitor?

That's not guaranteed.

The X810C is 1080 120 Hz out of the box.

Using a program like CRU doesn't guarantee a stable overclock, or to even pass the first frame skip test.

Nearly all 4k TV's on the market right now are 120 Hz native, even though they're limited to an input much lower than that. This has major benefits, faster pixel response times, means less ghosting, regardless if it's a game console and it can't push more than X Y frames.

And cinema playback (24*5=120, or more accurately 119.88 since there's no such thing as 120 Hz, or 60 Hz too for that matter), primarily for blu-ray's to get rid of the very noticeable stutter 60 Hz screens create when attempting the pulldown, or telecine, conversion, whatever you want to call it...

This website should have all the information your looking.

The problem with 3d TV's is that they send both the left and right image at the same time at 60hz input. The TV then splits the images and send them to each eye at 120hz.

That website looks very fruitful. One of the TV's, a Seiki SE50UY04 says it's 120hz at 1080p natively. Does that mean it'll work straight away without having to overclock/unlock it?

That premium Sony price, though. Any cheaper brand models available? If not I guess I can save if that's the best option.

Also, would it be possible to get somewhere between the 4k or 120hz options on that TV? Like slightly higher than 1080p with 90hz or is it just those two options? Thanks.

I'm fairly certain that all the TV's will require overclocking. After all the input is set to 60hz. No need for 120hz sequential since nothing in home theater uses it. But all the info to OC should be there. Often it's as simple as installing a program and creating a custom display output.

I've seen a few TV's that can be "tricked" into 120 Hz, I'm sure simply a Google search is going to find what I'm talking about. :)
