Looking for a good 120Hz native refresh rate TV as a monitor
Posted: 09 Nov 2017, 16:35
Hello everyone. This is my first post at Blur Busters.
The subject title above sums it up.
I currently have a 40" Samsung 60Hz [UN40F5000AFXZA] sitting ~ two feet from my face. I am an older man and my vision is not as good as it used to be, however, I have something of a dilemma. The fastest paced game I usually play is World of Tanks and rarely first person shooters as I get older, although they can still be fun. The problem is many other people are much younger, can think faster and push keys faster than I can. High response time and input lag can have me shooting at something that is not there - a real problem.
However, my budget is limited. I understand that in 2018 120Hz 4K monitors will be released, however, very powerful video cards will be required, along with HDMI 2.1
I currently have an MSI GTX 980 Ti Lightning with HDMI 2.0 [on par with an overclocked 1070 or non-overclocked 1070 Ti] and Intel i7 7700K and need to keep those because I cannot afford to upgrade. So, I am looking for a 40 to 43 inch TV as a monitor and 1080p or 1440p maximum.
I understand that there are some TVs with around 22ms input lag, and at 120Hz native refresh rate the response time would be better than what I have.
Thank you in advance.
