+1 on LG, I have two of them and they are awesome. With a good HDMI cable, my frame rate / delay seems to be pretty low when compared to my buddy's gaming monitor he brought over to show me last night. neither of mine are 4k, both 1080p LED, one is 3D/Smart.

Looks like from some online reading. Vizio will get both hdr formats while Samsung will only get hdr10. So seems like vizio would be the smart choice. Idk why I'm not looking at others but Samsung seems to be the big name brand I like. But Vizio is cheaper and seems to be favored for picture quality to price over Samsung

In my research of Vizios avoid the 55s, the screen is diff for some reason and not as good as the screen on the smaller or larger tvs. It isnt a VA? Screen, so the blacks arent that great.
Apparently the P series Vizios are the ones to have. Im up on the air between a P series and a Sony of I decide to pull the trigger. I need to research more on the LGs you guys are in love with.

I was looking at the m series. I only see one p series on their website and it's a 50"
I'm a little worried about that stupid tablet remote but hopefully you can still use universal for most things. Edit: I also can't find anything on vizios website about having both hdr formats but CNET says the 2016 ones do Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

My brother bought an LG 4K UHD smart TV, 55 or 60" I can't remember this weekend at Best Buy for $700. That's a steal, regularly $999

Why aren't delays more widely known / easy to research? A low delay is #1 priority when looking at a TV for me because of my love for music/rhythm games like RockBand, but there is no data out there for any modern TVs. My current LG tv I bought for its low delay and it's still not that great. Nothing most people would notice, but I notice it when playing as I do.

Because it's a TV and not a monitor. It's almost completely irrelevant for most things you plug into a TV. Consoles are, for the most part, the casual gamer who doesn't need that extra microsecond to move up in the leader boards.

Can't you also calibrate in games like that to compensate for delays?
Looks like the m line Vizio are going on sale at costco. The 60" I'm looking at will be down from like $970(costco price) to $750. 65" will be a grand and 70" will be $1649. All have HDR. Supposedly both formats Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Calibrating a music game does not simulate a tv with no delay. You can't bend space a time.

The more I read on the Vizio the more I am concerned about this stupid tablet. The TV has no smart interface on it as far as i can tell. You have to cast things from the tablet. My experience casting things from my tablet to my Amazon fire stick seems like you get spotty results at best.

My S7 streams to my LG like a champ
If you want to lower the input lag buy a really good HDMI cable. It made a noticeable difference for me.

They basically have a built in Chromecast, it is literally the same thing.
I'd prefer just having a built in "Smart" interface vs casting. 
11-14-2016, 08:05 PM
Apps in the TV's OS is way more wife-friendly than casting from a mobile device. Ask me how I know.

Yea i mean a tablet remote is a cool gimmicky feature to draw people in but you should be able to use a regular remote and the main os for the smart apps and features should be in the TV. There's no way it's faster and better coming from the tablet. It has to travel wirelessly twice. Once from router to tablet and then from tablet (well three times) back to router to TV

And I have a cheap wireless router and a DSL connection that's half saturated by a Netflix stream. However that's with a chromecast, which works a little differently than the Fire stick from what I understand, since many streams actually pass off the connection to the Chromecast and it really streams from there (my layman's understanding).
