So the beginning of this year I bought a Sony TV, the KDL40R380B. It took me several months before I realized that it had major motion blurring. Fast forward to now and I decided to sell it and buy a new TV, so I shopped around and asked for good televisions that wouldn't have this problem and one of the most commonly recommended TV's at sub-500$ for gaming, was the Vizio E series tv's. So I went and bought a Vizio E48-C2, brought it home, hooked it up and voila, it's even worse than the Sony was.
So I go shopping around again, looking everywhere I can trying to find response time for ANY televisions and nobody lists it, like the only company that seems to list panel response times is RCA and they're largely considered to make shitty televisions. It's pissing me off because no-one I ask knows the response times of any of their tv's, I emailed Vizio, they responded back with "the refresh rate of our E Series tv's is 120hz" that's not the response time. I emailed Sony and asked what the response time of the W6 series televisions is and was told I need to call in to get this information, so tomorrow I'll be calling and asking and they probably won't have an answer.
Basically, I know that the problem is the response time of the screen, good PC monitors list 2ms response times. I've figured out that 4ms on a television is perfectly acceptable and has no noticeable blur, maybe even as much as 8ms is not too bad but I'm not sure about that.
I have a budget of $500, I would like at least a 40" TV. Does anyone have any idea what a good television in or at least close to this price would be, that has no motion blur issues whatsoever?
