Greetings. I am feeling well but I need some advice and to hear debating about some hardware issues. Monitors to be used for PC use - Games - Videos - Pictures - XP/7.
My current system specs are in my signature...If I have a weakest link, let me know...
I am considering upgrading pieces of my rig setup.
I just bought a 42" Vizio 1080p HDTV "120 Hz" SV420M. Running it on my new Ati 5870.
The thing is, my other monitor which is 3 years old (Viewsonic VX922) has smaller pixels, faster response time, and higher refresh rate.
Apparantly the 120 Hz aspect on this HDTV is BS. It is not output 120 Hz refresh. It's 60 Hz. But there is a smooth motion function inside the monitor that can be both good and bad. Generally it is nice, but sometimes the speed looks like fast motion, and sometimes it lags a bit. This combined with some other more minor issues with this HDTV is causing me to consider returning the vizio. I would get $800-$900 back which I could save or spend on other things (Monitor, PC parts, Car USB stereo, Car speakers, _______ etc)
I can't do anything as fast on this screen. Also, there is a text glitch where lines of text start looking weird. This occurred on the 9800 GTX and this 5870.
What does the community say?
Is there a magical monitor that is 75 Hz or greater, with better picture quality, faster response time, significantly larger, and widescreen in comparison with Viewsonic VX922? (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116375)
Any comments or advice regarding any of this material is appreciated. I will be monitoring this thread tonight.
