43" 4K TV: https://www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-43UJ6300-4k-uhd-tv (bought via COSTCO, exact page 404'd)

 

Replacing my old 32" 1080p LED TV and accompanying CRT TV. The new TV (I think it might be an outdated model) has a special component/composite jack that let's me plug my OG Xbox into it. I didn't know such a connector existed. It's half green and half yellow, accepting both component and composite. Even with the settings tweaked just right, the input lag is.... measurable.

Tiddy-bits:

IPS panels are fantastic for color accuracy and viewing angles, though that comes at the cost of higher response times. Looks like that one 14ms, where a decent gaming response time is 5ms and a good one is 2ms, so I can't see it being good for anything other than watching video, as you're finding.

 

VA panels are a much better option for budget 4k at the moment. A good IPS for 4k is ridiculously expensive, and avoid TN like the plague.

A new wrist rest for my keyboard. My cheapo $15 keyboard came with a hard plastic wrist wrest which is cracked all over. I sometimes lean on it with my elbow and forget that it's just gonna poke the hell out of me.

I just purchased the Samsung S3 Frontier smart watch. I bought the international version for like $70 cheaper than the US version. All I had to do was change a few lines of code to get it to full functionality. Score.

Small update on my TV. Looks like it has shipping damage. They protected the edges of the TV with foam but there was nothing but a thin layer of cardboard protecting the front of the screen. I assume that's what caused this. Wish me luck getting it replaced since it's a discontinued model.

Could be a good thing, since you were unhappy with its performance too. With luck they'll just refund you and you can get something else.

They want to come to my house at 8AM to try and fix what I'm pretty sure is a broken panel. This should be interesting.
