Is it good for gaming?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@donovanrdavis its good for gaming i would recommend it

[MrSAboy210]

would the 32 inch model of this tv be good for watching bluray movies or should i go higher?

small bedroom

[hardcoregamerlv]

@MrSAboy210 so fair for this model 26 was the top of the line unless they made a new one

[MrSAboy210]

@hardcoregamerlv Well Vizio has another set of LED TVs and they range from 32 inches and up and I was wondering if I should get the 32" or 40 my my medium to small bedroom?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@MrSAboy210 i would say get 26 or 27

[hardcoregamerlv]

If you notice lag I would say take the display back

[Orantes381]

So just to be clear the tv doesn't have input lag? I just want to be sure because I thinking about getting this tv.

[cacLA8383]

[hardcoregamerlv]

[brianKRAZY1]

lol what a peaceful kid :)

[hardcoregamerlv]

@brianKRAZY1 Yeah he's a happy baby

[PureWater131]

Does this tv have any backlight bleeding or flashlighting on the edges of the tv?

i wanna get one to replace my old tv that has terrible blacklight bleeding which is really annoying lol.

[hardcoregamerlv]

@PureWater131 I have purchased 2 of these Vizio tv and happy to report no type of bleeding on either i guess ive been lucky since i heard some people with the same tv has have the issue with bleeding. i would say if you do buy one and thats an issue exchange it.

[tinyraptor]

How's the response time with gaming on this thing? Will I notice any input lag?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@tinyraptor so fair its ok i really dont notice ghosting the tv is great for the price. i wanna see the new sony 3d tv thats 24 inch

[Im4upsoo]

Coax cable was the word you were looking for haha

[hardcoregamerlv]

@Im4upsoo lol

[jawbraeka]

could you please do a video of setting this tv up so i can see what options are available during the setup please.

[hardcoregamerlv]

@jawbraeka i wish i could i set up the tv for my mother at her place. but it very very easy to set up. takes a few minutes

[jawbraeka]

@hardcoregamerlv if you do decide to setup the tv at your mum's house, could you do an extensive setup video so people can see what they are like? thankyou in advance.

[jawbraeka]

i have a question, does the tv accept PAL devices such as playstation 3 or dvd player, bluray or any other devices at all?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@jawbraeka ps3. xbox, dvd yes yes and yes you can use anything with an hdmi, component or compost cable

[jawbraeka]

@hardcoregamerlv thanks for that mang, means a lot to hear that cause im looking for a vizio down under in Australia... i got another question you might be able to answer also... do you guys have what we call set top boxes (external atsc digital receiver) ... cause i'll know for sure then), and i might sound like a pain in the ass, but i was wondering if you or someone you know has one and would you be able to connect one via HDMI so i can tell if the widgets work using a seperate tuner. thanks

[hardcoregamerlv]

@hardcoregamerlv we do but its from whatever cable company you set it up with

[hardcoregamerlv]

@AlexBondMX to be honest not sure lol

[duendemagicodelpisto]

@hardcoregamerlv nice review. Would you recommend it as a computer monitor? Thx.

[hardcoregamerlv]

@duendemagicodelpisto I Would my friend use his as one alone and loved it

[ToonSxO]

@hardcoregamerlv what size is this TV? im trying to get a decent size tv, nothing to big or small.

also iv never hooked up my xbox to a HDTV what is HDMI? i heard it a cord you can plug into your HDTV instead of plugging in your Yellow White Red Green and Blue cables

[hardcoregamerlv]

@ToonSxO The screen size is 26 inches. i would say hdmi is so much cleaner images and sounds. componet cables are also good the green, blue, red, yellow.

[ToonSxO]

@hardcoregamerlv i have heard reviews that this tv turns off randomly or crashes has this happened to you? also my friend told me that LED tvs are not great at video games because if you turn it gets blurry can you confirm this? i want this tv but i dont want to spend all the money i saved from my job to buy a Pos you know?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@ToonSxO I have 2 of the the tvs and either of them has shut off by itself i also update both with the lattest firmware aswell. and led are great for video games but you want a fater refresh rate so when your playing a game objects in the game have less blur effect. this tv has only a refresh rate of 60 thats ok i do see blur here and there on some games. you want 120 or better.

[TheMule93x]

is there any input lag in this tv? i play gears 2 a lot and i see its only 300 at office max now so im thinking of selling my vizio 22 inch and getting this one considering its bigger and has component so i can cap card. let me know. thanks

[hardcoregamerlv]

@TheMule93x there is a little lag i'm gonna post a video latter on today showing game play. well if your a sams club member its 277 now

[soccerpimp100]

@hardcoregamerlv just baught mine today for tht price at sams cant wait to get it

[hardcoregamerlv]

@soccerpimp100 very cool

[EntityMusicEnt]

I'm getting mines tomorrow for $280 at Sam's Club. It will become my new computer monitor in my recording studio... I can hardly wait! Nice vid dude.

[hardcoregamerlv]

@EntityMusicEnt lol i am getting another myself at sams club on wen or thur for the other room lol. and thanks for the nice comment

[ChrisGabe63]

got mine for $303 and thats with tax, setting it up next week when my pc parts get here, i wana test it with a PC before my PS3, i still play a lot of MAG so il see how much ghosting there if any

[hardcoregamerlv]

@ChrisGabe63 thats cool where did you get it at for that price

[tylerk1518]

I need a Yes or No. Does this ghost badly? It it worth $350?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@tylerk1518 yes it's worth 350 as for the ghosting i havent notice i play a lot of black ops and it seams cool.

[ChrisGabe63]

my last Vizio tv was the 1st gen 23" Razor XVT LED that had horrible viewing angles, only slight tilts on any directions and whites would become yellow, hope it doesnt happen here

how was the audio on this? ive been reading on how bad the audio on this was like the sound was coming out of tin cans, my 23" Razor had horrible sound but a couple of tweaks in the audio settings and i found it had the best audio for a 23" panel ive heard

im planning to use this for both ps3 and PC

[hardcoregamerlv]

@ChrisGabe63 well the audio is fine i would always say if you want better get a 2.1 suround sound bar. but its a great tv my mom loves its and i play my games on it from time to time

[ChrisGabe63]

Getting this next week $279 at Costco

[hardcoregamerlv]

@ChrisGabe63 that price is soo worth ir get it if you can

[ChrisGabe63]

@hardcoregamerlv i was only worried about the ghosting issue for 8ms response time, but since i got 90days to return to costco i can test it if i don like it id return

[hardcoregamerlv]

@ChrisGabe63 yeah thats true

[tillsined]

I'm on the fence with this tv. How is the backlight bleed with a blank input (completely black screen) in a dark room? Thanks.

[hardcoregamerlv]

@tillsined I havent notice any backlight bleed at all since i watch movies and play games normally in low or now light

[Emotionengne]

Thanks dude, I'll most likely stick with my order. I dont care the 8ms response time as long as I dont notice anything.

[hardcoregamerlv]

@Emotionengne try it out and see if it works for you but for me i really do love it a lot

[Emotionengne]

Dude how is the gaming experience? I read some reviews about 8ms response time due to which its not ideal for gaming. I would like your take on it, do you notice any ghosting or stuff like that which is really noticeable?

I ordered one last night I am not sure if I should stick with it because its mainly going to be for my PS3.

[hardcoregamerlv]

@Emotionengne for me i didnt notice any type of ghosting i play black ops, gran turismo 5, mag all the time and don't notice anything. but u are right it do's have a 8ms but havent notice anything like i said before

[Paulie675]

wered you buy it?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@Paulie675 office max

[jloyatv]

does the remote have a qwerty keyboard?

[hardcoregamerlv]

@jloyatv i wish it did that would make it a lot easer since you do have to type at times on it

[jloyatv]

@hardcoregamerlv thank you



[hardcoregamerlv]
