Ports & Connections
Make sure you choose a 60 inch TV that comes with enough HDMI and audio ports, so you can connect your gaming console plus other devices.
Screen Type
- Plasma vs LCD/LED 60-Inch TV for Gaming?
- Plasma screens are well known for having smooth images with zero lag when gaming, but LED-LCD screens tend to have sharper images. This one is down to personal preference really.
- Input Lag rating
- The parameter indicates the delay between pressing a button and seeing the reaction of a game. No need to mention the lower the number the better. It should not exceed 50ms for heavy gamers, anything above 200ms is highly distracting. On the other side no need to go below 30 ms as the difference is usually not noticeable.
Full HD
This should go without saying, but you need to get a television that has Full HD and that can display all available HD resolutions up to 1080p (1920×1080p, 2.1 megapixel). It will guarantee you a high quality picture and the best gaming experience.
3D Capability
3D gaming is becoming more and more popular. Plasma screens are great as they have the lowest levels of crosstalk, whilst LED screens have a much brighter picture. Again this is all about which you prefer.
