TVs are all awful
If you are a gamer, TVs are now also awful for playing games, due to the built in lag between the TV receiving a signal and displaying it. On a CRT it was instantaneous, as game console data streams were sent basically straight to the electron gun -- nowadays there's a massive amount of processing before the signal is on screen.<p>This manifests primarily in a feel of poor controls, or a game not doing what you tried to do.<p>Good HDTVs will give you 100ms of lag or so, bad ones can be in excess of 400ms. With most games nowadays running at 30fps, that's between 3 and 13 game frames of lag.<p>It's pretty absurd the difference this makes, and as a game developer I have to fight with it constantly and it is <i>infuriating</i>.
