Are you also talking about TVs? I'm considering doing this, as someone who knows about it, what would you look at if you were to buy something now/in the near future?
- lewisl9029 10y agoFor a high end LCD, I'd go with a Vizio P series assuming they've rolled out the promised firmware upgrade that adds 4:4:4 chroma support. The local dimming is supposed to be very good on that one. And it has relatively low input lag. No chroma 4:4:4 (AKA chroma subsampling) kills it as a monitor though, so I'd do some research to make sure it supports that properly before pulling the trigger. For something more value-minded, I'd go for something from the Samsung KU6290/KU6300 series. No local dimming on this one, but otherwise it's an incredible value. I've written more about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13354234 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13354234 To be honest, I would have an extremely hard time justifying spending 2-3 times on a higher end LCD over the KU6290/KU6300 series if I were in the market for a new TV-as-monitor today myself. Local dimming could still be worth the additional investment if you watch a lot of movies though, having blacks appear as pure black really made the movie watching experience that much more enjoyable for me and my friends.
