I'm looking for people that are familiar and currently using HDTV's (not large TN LCD Monitors) for PC Gaming and Multimedia applications to make a couple suggestions. Here are some factors I'd like to balance out in the suggestions:
1. Resolution (720p/1080p)
2. Price (looking for $349-$699)
3. Screen Type (LCD vs. Plasma)
4. Refresh (60hz Vs. 120hz Vs. v600hz)
5. Size (32"-46")
Depending on my application at the time, I may be anywhere from 4' away up to 10' away. Balance is key. My PC specs are good enough to run any current game (maybe save for Crysis) @ 1920x1080 at around 60-100 FPS at high settings. I also have a BDD in my computer, though don't have any movies for it yet; though it may be something I'm interested in the future. Most of the movies I watch are varying resolutions, streaming and local. Sound isn't really a factor as I can run things through an external sound solution, so speaker quailty of the HDTV is irrelelvant.
Basically what I'm looking for is the best bang for the buck up to $699 (doesn't necessarily mean it has to be $699, cheaper is okay too!)
The more opinions the better, but I would love to hear from people actually CURRENTLY using this type of setup, what they chose, why they chose it, and what they would have done differently if able to choose over again.
Thanks Guys n' Gals!
