Anyone play with a plasma TV?

[Delsus]

Remember that when you use a "TV" you will be stuck with HDMI, this means a set limit of 60hz framerate, IF the TV has DVI this is what you should use.

And being capped at 60Hz is a problem why? *It's theorized that the human eye perceives 25-30 fps as fluid movement*, the only reason we play games at 60 fps is so if there is a slight frame rate drop it will not become a slide show (a 60-30 drop is much less noticeable than a 30-15 drop) any higher is just to make it look like progress to get you to buy higher rate TVs, unless you are a pidgin you will never need a 120 fps TV or even interface that supports it (pidgins perceive 120 fps as movement, again proven fact.)

This is called the theory of persistence of vision, which states the retina will retain an image for one twenty-fifth of a second, ergo seeing 25 fps. However some people do believe this is incorrect, they believe persistence of vision is a myth, giving rise to other theories, one of which is that the human eye can see 66 fps, however our brains can only perceive 40 conscious moments per second, which means we would perceive 40 fps and no more, looking at various theories none of them say the combination of the human eye and brain can even perceive 60 fps, never mind any more, just look at the mass disappointment with the hobbit when it was shot at 48 fps as opposed to 24.

I'll give some clickys as well to some sources.
