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.This manifests primarily in a feel of poor controls, or a game not doing what you tried to do.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.It's pretty absurd the difference this makes, and as a game developer I have to fight with it constantly and it is infuriating.
