I have been considering buying a Toshiba 65HM167 65" 1080p DLP HDTV. Are DLP's of this size good for gaming? Or should I go for a 50" plasma TV for about the same amount of money?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I have a 61" Samsung DLP 1080P HDTV and all my games look great on it. You need to sit back a good distance though.Star67
I have the same TV as this guy and it looks and is amazing. IF you are wanted a TV past 50 inches then DLP is the way to go especially for cost. I sit prob 7 feet from my TV and I see everything well and graphics are killer
Someone explain to me in precise, technical terms why DLP is worse than LCD for gaming.
I'm not letting that comment slip...

Good luck getting an answer that doesn't include "because I have one and it looks great," or "that's what my friends all tell me."

notice the sentence talking about the gaming cosoles, that's why lcd is better for gamingRakuho
Oh, you mean this sentence?
"Response time in video games may be affected by upscaling lag. While all non-CRT HDTVs have some lag when upscaling lower resolution input to their native resolution, DLPs are commonly reported to have noticeably longer delays. Newer consoles such as the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 do not have this problem as long as they are connected with HD-capable cables."
If you're playing a PS2 or Gamecube you are out of luck, but you're also playing a PS2 and Gamecube. Nuff said.
hmmm, I find a good DLP set to be better than LCD..faster reponse time, better blacks, no screen door affect, etc, etc, etc...LCD's I find to be the best if space is a conern...but not the best performing unless you drop a load on a Sony Bravia or something like that. creekfan_basic
Well, depending on the diff. aspecs of the tv itself, what you just said could be said about the lcd being better. DLP's, I feel, are a chaper version of the lcd, and I dont mean that in a bad way, but anyone can tell you that, and everyone knows that a dlp of a part. size is going to be cheaper in price than a lcd of the same size. If you were to compare two tv's made by the same company, of the same size, in lcd and dlp, I gurantee, though, that the lcd woudl be the better tv, period. Yet, for price, the dlp woudl be the better bargain since it would compete quite well graphically against the lcd, even though the lcd is tech. the bettr quality tv for any experience.
If you are getting an RPTV forget LCD and DLP

LCoS is the way to go. Look at the SXRD. awesome valueÂ

Dropped some cash on a Brand new model Sony Bravia.
So the question is whether a DLP TV is good for gaming? DLPs have great picture and good response times, but the big down fall for DLPs is that you will need to replace the bulb after 2000 to 3000 hours of use which in the long run can be very costly. A plasma have great contrast and a truer black than any type of TV and they also are great for very fast response times which is great for gaming, but they can develop burn ins when having the same image on the screen to long. LCDs are great for a wide range of things for a cheaper price than the other types of TVs, but for gaming they are in the middle of the road when it comes to fast paced games because they tend to blur when the animations start moving to fast. So when it comes down to it, its up to preference, but if you are looking just for gaming i would go with a Plasma, and if you are looking for a big tv that can be great for a living room I would go with a DLP.
@dante82:
Neither. If your asking.
65 is fun in theory but stretches your resolution a bit.. Having several HD Tv's in home let me recommend for gaming.
I would go with LED 50 to 55 Inches with 240MHZ or higher. LED in my option has a brighter sharper picture, far more life, fast refresh and the 240mhz will give you such a smooth motion on screen it looks live. I would grab 3d as well if you can. Games like AC3 and UNCHARTED are sweet in 3d.
