BartleDooGTA Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hey, guys I was just looking for some opinions on what kind of hdtv would give me the best image quality for GTA V. I will be sitting about 6-7 ft from my tv and my price range is $600 and under. Right now I am looking at a 1080p 40in Samsung HDTV, but just wanted to get peoples thoughts on this, and if they know any better TV I should get. i.e- last-gen gta V looked horrible on my 2008 42" Phillips HDTV. It hurt my eyes because there was so much jaggies. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/748018-best-hdtv-for-gta-v-on-xboxoneps4/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just know that whatever tv you get won't make jaggies "fully" disappear. (If there is any in whatever game you play) If you can get a 1080p tv that's great.

SocalsZHP Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Well this game runs native 1080p so It will look WAY better on your old TV too. (yeah I know this doesn't help at all) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/748018-best-hdtv-for-gta-v-on-xboxoneps4/?do=findComment&comment=1066506708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan_J Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The TV I'll be playing current gen V on has a blue line down the right hand side of the screen, it's only like a pixel wide but it runs from top to bottom. It comes and goes but is there more often than not. The TV is otherwise great which is just as well as I won't be getting a new one any time soon. I just hope the issue doesn't get any worse.

RenThePyro Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Sony KV 36HS510 - 36" WEGA CRT TV - 1080i Supports 1080i, I assume all 16:9 content is letter boxed. The woman on the screen seems fairly happy, so I guess it'll improve your GTA V experience?

P2FX Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Is your old TV native 1080P? Last gen consoles render games at 720P so there will be some jaggies when up-scaled.

SimsDaniel916 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm running a 55" Samsung 1080p TV and it's great with no issues so I would definitely recommend getting a Samsung TV as you're already considering. If you want a TV thats 50" with your $600 limit you could get a 50" LG TV for a on-sale price of $590 on Amazon. LG is also a great TV brand so if you want a bigger TV, it's a route you may want to consider.

It hurt my eyes because there was so much jaggies. For 1080p, and sitting at 6-7ft, the best size TV for that distance is a 46in-50in. Next-gen would look pretty optimal at that distance. The native resolution for the game on the previous gen was 720p, wasn't it? The game looked like it had a lot of jaggies as it is, but 40in at that distance is a bit close for 720p, which might be part of why they were more noticeable for you. I'm not sure on exact TVs, but for that money and the size you'd be looking for, I imagine you could get a pretty decent TV that does 1080p and has specs suitable to bring out the best your gaming experience.

Yea it was native 1080p, but I plan on getting a TV in my bedroom so I wont be playing games on that TV anymore, so I was just hoping someone could recommend me a good 1080p HDTV that I can use to game in my room. Also all the steams I saw of this gens gta v seem to have no jaggies.

GtaFanatik Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 2009 TCL Erios 55" 1080P tv with Frame interpolation. It's clear, crisp and offers a really nice image, It doesn't envy nothing to the new models. Besides of the image, a Sony 5.1 Home Theather sound system with DTS and Digital Optical audio cable is equipped too. It will be freaking glorious.

esmittystud101 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I would at least get something that is 1080p, 120 hrtz or higher refresh rate. Samsung, Vizio, ect. A good brand.

Norsea Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 1080p, 60+hz, and make sure it's not a 80 inch. Larger TV's tend to lose quality in the picture.

Bi0ha2ard_q8 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Get a biggish PC monitor, they are usually cheaper and the input lag is almost non-existent. or a series 6 Samsung.

esmittystud101 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I would stay away with anything 60 hrtz. or lower, all my 60 hrtz. tv's in the house look crappy compared to all my 120 hrtz. or higher. TV's. I would not get Plasma for video games. Hud's hate plasmas. Could burn image to screen. Very unlikely, but I've seen it before.

kipakolonyasi Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 buying a TV for a game console is always risky some TV's have terrible input lag even when in "game mode". monitors are the best.

Glass Cloud Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Anything 1080. Since you are even asking this question you, like me, won't be able to tell the difference between one or the other. So which ever is cheapest. Though TBH that size is too large, if it's just for your bedroom. If it's for your living room go for it but if it's just for your bedroom 32in will be plenty.
