PS: Also be sure to maximize the amount of HDMI ports. Mine has 5, and I never imagined needing that many, but now I’m using all of them.
Don’t get anything with less than a 240Hz Refresh rate.
BTW - What I was surprised by when I was looking was that the picture can vary quite a bit even between different size tvs from the same company. Visit places that have substantial displays and find what you like.
Not sure what the refresh rate is on my plasma or LED, but the pictures are sharp and true even with live action. I can see easily see that gap between the receivers fingers and Sanchez's pass. Then again that could also be because the gap is a couple of yards...
I use a Denon receiver for my HDMI switching. I can’t stand the Idea of getting a smart TV. I uses a PS3 for netflix simply because I have one. I’ll get a ROKU soon for Smart TV Duties.
A ROKU is $100, the smartest smart TV has a $1000 premium in most cases. I am most familiar with Panasonic brand and you cannot tell the difference between a $1200 and a $2500 model picture.
You have to turn down the refresh rate during some stuff or you get the dreaded “soap opera effect”, where everything looks too live.
