TV Upgrade questions

[Darkstorm]

Hello

I'm currently using a Sony Bravia KDL32S3000 I'm not sure of it's specs in terms if input lag and whatnot but I was tempted by the Sony 40 EX403

http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/-/3095/2362/-/13571927/Sony-Bravia-40-inch-40-EX403-Full-HD-1080p-Freeview-HD-Internet-TV-LCD-TV/Product.html?searchtype=genre

It's bigger then my current tv and has proper 1080p support (the othe ronly goes to 1080i) I guess my main cocnern was is the input lag worse or betetr compared to my previous set.

Anyone in the know who could help would be great =>

Thanks to any who can help

The Sony KDL32EX403 features around 40ms of input lag, when compared to a lag-free CRT monitor. This is a tolerable figure that will probably go generally unnoticed, but speaking as someone who’s on the lookout for it and who is used to very fast displays, the difference was noticeable in the first-person shooter games I demo’d on the TV. In fact, the slight delay in images hitting the screen had the interesting effects of making the game controls feel tighter and weightier, and bizarrely, it gave fast-paced “one hit and you’re dead” games an almost peaceful feeling (assuming you’re still winning, that is).

It's worth having a read here as you may find some of the information useful. As we ordered ours over Christmas it means it won't be delivered until the 12th so I can't really comment on the set myself.

We bought ours from John Lewis as they offer a free five year guarantee. The price of that model seems to have dropped in a few places and John Lewis are now out of stock so I presume that it's an end of line sale for that model.

Was thinking about getting the EX503 at 32", as it looked brilliant in Comet (especially the black levels). Everything else (apart from the large screen Samsung's) had a rather 'midnight blue' tinge to them.

Thanks for the replies, I suppose the thing I'm really wanting to know is if that 40ms input lag is better or worse then my current KDL32S3000

I tried looking on the net but there didn't seem to be any sites stating the lag time only the screen repsonse time (which as I understand is a different thing altogether)

I don't suppose anyone knows the input lag on my current KDL32S3000?

Probably about the same, 40-45ms.

i would stay well clear of a TV with 40ms of lag, if being specifically used for gaming. You will notice it

Why not look at the Samsung LE32C530 (32inch) at £306 on Amazon. Gets some great reviews, is full 1080p and is great for gaming with a low input lag rating of 14ms
