Is there much difference between a 32in TV and a 42in TV?(mainly in performance, not size lol) I am researching different display setups for my Obutto Ozone and I want to get 3 32in displays to go with it. I am trying to decide on TV's vs Monitors as I can afford to get 3 32in TV's for $500 but 3 monitors at that size are out of my budget for now.

 

I currently have a 42in TV that I am using as a YouTube display and I was wondering if there was much difference between the latency between that and a 32in TV. I was thinking I could try playing my games on the 42in to see if game play was affected to help me make my decision on wither to get 3 32in TV's or hold off and save for the 3 monitors.

I don't think latency has much to do with the size as much as the model itself.

10 inches. 

 

 

 

 

I really can't tell you much without models. Post processing and stuff determines latency more than the plain size. Whether or not the software lets you bypass extra effects for lower latency 'gaming mode' (not a color mode), the performance of the controller board, and the panel itself all factor in. Finding  a low latency TV is hard research, best look at reviews and comparisons. 

muh specs

if there built by the same company then they more then likely have the same display driver in them also "most" tv have bad latency anyway but if you are just watching youtube on it then go big or go home
