Planning to buy a long ass HDMI cable that will go from my PC to my 55'' Inches TV in my living room.


Question one:

Will i need a HDMI booster or something if the HDMI cable is 50' long? will i have latency problems?


Question two:

Will screen size make a difference in my FPS ?

if i play at 120FPS on my 24'' 1080P monitor, will i get 120FPS on my 55'' TV?


Question three:

is a 120HZ TV the same as a 120HZ Monitor ? ( My tv is 120hz because it's 3D )


I don't know much about all of this so thanks for the answers.

1. You should be fine with a 50 foot cable. There likely won't be any discernible latency.


2. Size itself doesn't matter as long as the resolution is the same. Its still the same number of pixels to render.


3. The Hz rating on a monitor is different from a TV. The TV's refresh rate is used internally for motion interpolation and active 3D. TV's don't normally accept an external source frequency that high. However, they can be set to it. Simply plug your PC into the TV and open the Nvidia or Catalyst control panel. Change the option on the monitor setting to 1920x1080 @ 120 Hz. If the TV actually displays the picture, you're fine. If its distorted in any way or just black, then try lowering the frequency in the control panel to 75 Hz. Its really just trial and error. Some TVs are locked from external high frequency input.

Alright ! Thanks a lot.

My TV is a Samsung, any experience with them?

everything is working great,
