Hi,
I am now looking for a LCD TV to replace my old 32" 720P set. I have some criteria and have been looking but haven't found anything to meet the needs. There always seems to be a gotcha! Since I am looking for a smaller size everything seems to be very low end in quality. I don't know why but manufacturers seem to assume the reason one wants a smaller set is for cost rather than for space limitations such as my case. Cost is not a concern for me as even the best set in this size is still pretty cheap (other than something like OLED or something of course).
I am in the USA.
What I am looking for is a TV used in a spare room for movies and games.
Wanted:
40" size, no larger (can be a bit smaller like 37").
3D capabilities.
PC input (VGA)
1080P native
"motion flow" or equivalant
low enough input lag for gaming although doesn't have to be super crazy low just something acceptable.
Good gamma capable with no clipped brights or crushed blacks.
Ability to switch to unscaled 1:1 pixel mapping for PC input.
Ability to shut off all of the dynamic picture "enhancing" nonsense they put in there.
Things I DON'T need or care about (if it has it ok):
Internet/smart, power saving, viewing angle (yes I don't care, I will be viewing on axis always), case aesthetics, weight, thinness.
If there is no such thing could you reccommend something with the most of these things?
Thanks.
