Is ghosting/blurring more often a problem with LCD monitors than for LCD hdtv's?
Lets say for example, assuming they both have the same 5ms response time would there usually be tech features missing in an LCD monitor that an hdtv would normally have to reduce ghosting?
Answer
That all depends on the specific display, but the short answer is the HDTV is more likely to suffer ghosting problems.
The larger an LCD is the more the Black to white response time will be, (not grey to grey which means nothing).
30" Monitors have a typical response time of about 16ms, most 22" monitors or less typically have 6ms, some even as low as 2ms, black to white.
Cheaply made monitors and especially HDTVs will often only state the grey to grey response times, as the black to white (the important one) is very high, and the grey to grey is always much faster.
Just make sure the specifications you see state the response time for black to white, anything more than 16ms and you will defiantly notice the difference in a game like Unreal Tournament.
Another factor is that some HDTVs support 1080i which is locked at 30frames per second, unlike 1080p or any Monitor which will have up to 60fps, this is as important as response time.
In monitors and TVs you will find inferior and superior LCDs, you just need to know what to look for.
Never buy a 6 bit display, only 8 bit ones!!

What is a good hdtv for gaming?
cowfire101
I have an xbox 360 and want to upgrade to an hdtv. what are some of the brands that would definitely be a good buy for 360 gaming?
also, is 1200:1 or 1600:1 good contrast ratio's?
also, ive read a lot of people talking about hdtvs causing game lag. what exactly is this about and if i buy an hdtv will i experience it also??
Answer
Samsung makes the best in my opinion! Things you need to look for is:
Response time: If its above 10ms your going to see screen distortion.
Contrast Ratio: How well you see Dark movies like if there walking in a cave lower contrast and you wont be able to see the finer detail. anything above 1000:1 well be fine for games.
Make sure it has componant, HDMI, VGA and regular Audio\Video hook ups. as well and S-video. So it well go with any old DVD player or VCRs you may have.
Also There are several diffrent types of recivers built in. NTSC to get regular analog channels and ATSC to get over the air HDTV and digital channels. Check this link out for a look at specs on a good samsung. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5691335
By the way I have never experianced "game lag" on my Samsung. Samsung's have some of the better response times. LCDHDTV's good respones times are over 6ms
LCDHD monitors can get under 2ms.
