LG 39 inch TV $314 // TCL 40 inch TV $278

that's so weird all my cats do not acknowledge any TV as the least bit interesting, or even mirrors for that matter!

Dear God man, are you blind?!? I just measured my setup, and my head is exactly 5.5' from the screen..I used to actually sit another 2' farther away, but didn't like having to boost text size a bit..When I had my 52" Samsung, I would sit 10' away @ 1080P..

Not blind, nor do I get neck or eye strain from sitting this far away. I've got my setup perfectly calibrated and I've been using it in this format for 3 years now.

lol sorry but 3.3 feet from a a 52 inch screen is just not normal. thats too close to even view properly plus you would have to be seeing screen door effect pretty bad. if you dont see that then yes you are almost blind.

and I just sat with my face 3.3 feet from my 46 screen and its not right at all. plus I looked like a mental patient doing that.

20/20 vision. No screen door effect whatsoever. Your TV just sucks if you have that problem, or you've set it up wrong. Of course it isn't as sharp as a smaller purpose built monitor. I never made that claim. But nobody who visits my house thinks its weird in the slightest. As I said in my first post, they think its awesome as hell and they go off and copy what I've done. I also said earlier I take a lot of hate for my setup, and you're proving that right now as well, but by all means hate away. You simply don't know what you're talking about.

if you are 3 damn feet form a 52 inch screen and have perfect vision then you will see some screen door. and no its not my TV as I easily noticed it on every one of the larger screens when i was shopping for something bigger this week. and yes you will look like an idiot sitting that close to a screen that big. maybe you mean 3.3 meters. lol

Stop insulting, there's no point. Keep that shit in the video card forum. I'm not arguing with someone so blindly certain that they're right. Keep thinking whatever you want.
 
Debating on getting this to replace my aging 24in dell. 369±tax makes this 400.00

Any advice on if I should pull the trigger on this or keep my 2309 dell.
 
The 39" has a very small foot print. It weights 20lbs or so, very thin bezel, LED and LG quality. Perfect low latency large format display. Get the set. You absolutely will not regret it. It's a little larger than a 30" Dell or 30" HP.

It's a workhorse in that you can get the big picture when it comes to PC gaming or if you want to watch a movie or console gaming. Something those small ass 24" and 27" just can't do.

I have no interest in getting in the middle of your debate, but I will chime in on that fact that the universal recommendation from all experts and manufacturers is that you be at least 6+ feet from a 50-52" at 1080p.

Yet you still insist on doing so.

So believe it without testing it yourself. Who's stopping you?
 
If the dude wants to get blind, let him!! At least he's enjoying his TV? :p

On topic, I'm thinking I might want to go a bit smaller than a 39 inch. This urge to get a TV for computer use and nagging me lately
 
is there a trick to making it stay in 444 rull RGB? mine goes back to Ync 444 after maybe 60 seconds. Dvi to hdmi adapter is what im using. tried to google it but didnt see really.

So you would recommend this highly? I recently sold my 25.5" Samsung T260HD which was double duty as single monitor/HDTV, especially during football season. Now I have no HDTV and sometimes streaming live sports just doesn't cut it. Would be nice to have for movie watching as well... the $369 it's currently at seems like a fair deal, though not "holy crap I need this NOW".

While I am not sure what is the issue with your exact setup, I used to run my Panasonic (mentioned earlier in this thread) in 4:4:4: FULL RGB*..After this thread popped up I got curious and went and tried 4:4:4 YCbCr, since everything I have read claims text is much sharper..

To me Text does look better, but color was a tad washed out using my calibrated settings on the old setting. I pulled a some brightness out and it seems to be a lot better for me, especially with [H]ard's quirky color scheme. Full RGB does produce a more inky, and I mean inky black, but it seems to cause text to look less sharp on this forum.

*Note: I am using an AMD 7950 with Cat 13.8 beta drivers which defaulted to 4:4:4 FULL RGB when installed.
 
I love HardOCP's color scheme. It gives my eyes a rest. Everything else out there is brite as hell. I can come here and the dark colors are actually eye therapy for me.

At $369 bucks its not the steal that it was at $314 but its a great monitor and TV.

I have my two others here but haven't had time to unbox and set them up. When I do I will take pics.
 
I have some pictures on AVS, but I run 3 of these in eyefinity and have a 4th as backup NIB. I like the TV that much. It's weird having 4 of these sets when I think about it but they do have a smaller footprint compared to older traditional thick / wide body HDTV's and along with being LED, they do consume a lot less energy.

Actually no, I've had a Westy 37W3 going on 7 years now, and I sit around 3-4ft away on average, never closer than 2.5ft, I couldn't imagine enjoying a 52" at the same distance.

So I'm not just going by the numbers or hypothetical recommendations, I'm using my own personal 7 year experience with an HDTV as a monitor, you're not the only person in the world who uses an HDTV as a monitor. :rolleyes:

Sitting that close to a 52" isn't smart, If not for any other reason than simple ergonomics, but do whatever makes you happy.
 
Decided to hold off on this and am going to grab a 50" Panny plasma in a week or so. Might think about something like this for Christmas time, though...
 
Just got mine in the other day. Not sure if it's the IPA or MVA version as the viewing angles are pretty good, but there is a color cast at extreme angles. Either way, I love the screen so far. I do agree with others that the color settings need to be changed and the eco feature turned off, but post that it's great.
 
The ECO thing makes sense for the targeted audience but not for the guy / gal who has figured out their set makes for an awesome PC display.

Everyone on AVS says it's an MVA panel.

Sadly, there are some things that have to be done in the menu before the set performs at it's optimal performance level. It's not PC ready out of the box which can cause some bad feedback which has already been the case.
 
well I ended up with this for ~$314. nice deal :). one was for my coworker. thanks again to this thread for motivating me to find a similarly priced deal to what I originally missed out on here! I got the best bang for the buck indeed! :D.

nuts man, that set seems to be 500+ by me.
 
Congrats on your new purchase!

Let us know if the set supports 4:4:4, what the latency is, the build quality and if the panel is evenly lit, etc.

How did you manage to find it for that price?

I found a store 2 hours away that says limited stock but when I called they said they don't carry that model.
I think that they might be wrong, but I don't want to drive 4 hours on a toll road for nothing.
:(
