    It has some delay, but it doesn't bother me. I play with a wireless 360 controller via my wired network.

    Bringing up an old topic, but with regards to 32" FHD LED TVs, anybody has any experience using Sinotech or HiSense for normal computer use & gaming instead of a computer monitor? I'm looking to get another one with my eBucks, but I must buy it from Makro and they don't seem to have any FHD Samsung or LG. I'll maybe try and check out my local Makro tomorrow, but I've been to one or two stores already and I checked their website. LG and Samsung is only 32" HDR.

    No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.

    I have what you've mentioned [a HiSense 32" HDReady LED TV], which I'm currently using as a TV, PC monitor and for my PS3.

    I decided to hook my TV up to my PC via HDMI from the HDMI-to-VGA connection I used previously -- the colour quality, saturation brightness and colour differentiation is marvellous. Blacks (black colouring) are deep and dark - whilst all bright colouring is vibrant and outstanding. I'd personally recommend it to anyone.

    If this answers your question.

    Edit: Monitor is supportive of all resolutions up to 1080p (1920x1080), only the Desktop resolution is clearest @1360x768 - its default Desktop res.

    Fonts are clear. Moreso if you reduce picture sharpness.

    Cool, and you're running 1920x1080 resolution? Text not blurry or anything like that?

    In-game @1080p, everything is clear. Text is easy to read. There does appear to be ghosting at times, but only if you sit really close, or if there are swift camera movements.

    Ok, thanks. More concerned about text when working, not gaming, as that would be its primary function.

    Ok, got the Sinotec. It is the only FHD that Makro still sells. Samsung FHD discontinued in 32" and they simply don't sell other brands in FHD. Only from 40" and bigger. Got it for R500 less than I planned to spend and it has the auto-size feature so that text don't display blurry. Seems to be working nice so far.

    Glad to hear it -- enjoy!

    For anyone else who's interested in buying an LED TV for gaming, mainly pc gaming, I'd highly recommend Vizio screens.

    Unfortunately, you'd need to order them off Amazon.com (~R4 800 for the 32" all inclusive) but the refresh of them is 60Hz, they look great as a screen and they perform excellently.
