Gaming on this display?

http://centresdirect.co.uk/p-12540-kd49x8005cbu.aspx (full specs are at the bottom of page)

In a word, do you think it will be suitable/good/bad ?

At the moment I've been using two really old 1080p TV's, now according to google they both have a response time of 5ms ? Now the difference between input lag and response time go over my head a bit. But looking online most 4k displays seem to all be at least 20ms (apparently this sony is 35-40). Is it easy to have lower ms on lower resolutions or something ?

Also apparently it's IPS, that's good right ? I can pick it up around £450, cheers guys :D

Latency would suck

You have to make sure it has Chroma 4:4:4

If you want a 4k gaming monitor, this one is 27" IPS and free-sync, I odn't know why it's not on the part picker, but it was 350 pounds last I checked, wouldn't be as good for productivity as a large 4K display naturally

This LG display or the B variant

Thank you friend. That looks nice but I want 40" as a minimum really. For my overall needs a prefer a something larger and TV's seem to cater more towards this.

Regarding 4:4:4, how can you check for it and is it needed ? Reason I ask is I've been using an old LG tv and I doubt it has this, yet functions flawlessly ?

I was also looking at this http://goo.gl/i6KC3L and http://goo.gl/KKYjtH.

Finally http://goo.gl/I0v4P1, super cheap and has response time listed as 6ms ? Any reason why this wouldn't be decent ?

hanks again :)

Some details here

There are also all the 40" korean displays that are meant to be PC monitors

Seems that it would be nearly impossible to have a screen that large with a latency that low...

I think I seen that video when it came out, gonna re-read the post now to get some ideas, cheers.

So what do you think of tv's that have the response time listed as 5ms ? Is that a lie ?

http://goo.gl/KKYjtH as for monitors this one particularly caught my eye, any reason not to try one ?

Cheers !

If the panel on that one is IPS or VA it should be decent given that it has display port and a 100mm VESA mount

Just find a few reviews or something

Panel response is the physical time taken for a Grey to Grey pixel shift. It'll be the best single measurement taken and not representative of the whole panel. You can usually double that for a better average figure for the whole panel.

The input lag comes down to the electronics processing the incoming signal. TVs tend to use excessive processing to make the image vibrant and smooth where a true PC monitor will mostly pass it straight the panel.

Some TVs have a "game" mode which bypasses the majority of that signal processing but don't buy a TV just because of that unless it's been independently tested.

The Chroma 4:4:4 maintains the colour signal from source where 4:4:2 or 4:2:2 etc. uses some lossy techniques as the human eye can be fooled to a certain degree. It helps to maintain sharp text on high res desktops for example.

Hello guys, sorry I'm bumping this, I'm just itching for a new display at the moment.

Could some kind knowledgeable person give me an opinion on this please http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4489531.htm#pdpFullDesc

Main thing I'd want to avoid would be a lag effect in fps games, could anyone tell me if it's suitable.

Once again thank you.
