Are all plasma TV's wall mountable?

Has anyone compiled a list of TVs that don't need calibration for Rock Band and Guitar Hero?

  • I have been wanting to buy a new TV (something about 46") for the livingroom and while at first I was focused on picture quality and app options and such, I now find that after visiting a few friends with spiffy new TVs that trying to calibrate these things for a game of Rock Band is more stress than it's worth! The worst, *each game* required it's own configuration. I have played on two different Sceptre TVs (not my first choice for anything else in TV shopping) and neither required any calibration. I've also played on a couple Sony and Samsung (both on my watch list prior to this) and was pulling my hair out trying to get the fine tuning right for even one game. Also found that one of them (don't recall at the moment which) also didn't play nice with the Wii. I know I can't be the only one out there that wants to shop TVs with gaming in mind. Is there a site with compatibility to each system and games that require precise timing or calibration, so I can find something to replace my old 32" SDTV? Barring that, recommendations for an HDTV (LCD or LED, not DLP or Plasma) with a diagonal between 46"-55" that is completely plug&play friendly with the Wii and ALL XBox 360 music-rhythm games with NO calibration would be most welcome. [Other features secondary to gaming goodness: *at least* 3 easily accessible (while wall-mounted) HDMI inputs, WiFi access with apps for Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, Last.fm, etc, preferably energy efficient (though I will likely leave it disconnected from power when not in use), quality rated for picture during movies and regular TV (I don't watch sports) and of course, one that won't break in the first year and require a $500 repair]

  • Answer:

    That's... not possible. The standard setting on both GH and RB is zero delay of both audio and video. The fact is, no TV is capable of running those games like that. The console itself isn't capable of running the games like that. It takes time for those AV signals to get to the TV from the XBOX/Playstation/Wii/whatever. It also takes time for the signal from the controller to get to the system. There's a whole bunch of processing/sending/receiving of information going on, and it all takes time. You're going to need some AV delay. End of story. It's not hard to set it up either. Just quit your whining and deal with reality. I bought a new TV last year (first TV I've owned since 2005). Since I hadn't had a TV in such a long time, I made sure to do A LOT of research before buying one. I decided on the 32" Bravia EX400. It didn't have the best refresh rate, but it was one of the few 32" models available with 1080p (and that resolution was crucial for my applications). The contrast ratio is incredible! If you have the space (and budget) for the next model up from what I bought, I'm sure you'll be pleased. The Bravias take the cake for number of inputs too. Of course, if you're putting together a serious home theater, you'll have an AV receiver, so all those inputs kind of go to waste. Either way, I'm highly pleased with mine.
