In the gaming community, there are two types of players. The first ones are those who use their computers complete with keyboard and mouse. The second ones are those who use their TVs and sit on their couch complete with headset and a console.
Aside from the accessories that are used, what makes these two types of players different is the distance that they position themselves from the monitor. PC games tend to be closer to the screen, while TV gamers usually are a few meters away from the screen.
Good thing that there are now TV screens created solely for gaming. These types of screens are designed so that gamers can see every detail and aspect of the game.
TVs used for gaming are judged on numerous factors. The biggest factor that you must consider is the picture quality, check the colors so that you can get the accurate design of the game.
Make sure that the TV is easy to operate, take interface design and remote ergonomics into account when choosing a TV for gaming. Also check on the TV's input lag, which is he amount of time between when a TV receives a signal and the display updates.
