HDTV

I just bought the level three marauder. Im new to PC gaming and pcs in general. I really want to run this system to my hdtv. I have a 47 inch lcd Vizio any advice on whether this is ok to do?

refresh rate does that mean it will damage my tv?

Thanks lion.

@josh - Have you ever seen a TV or monitor being recorded on a TV show or home video?  Like ... the lines that scroll down it?  That is refresh rate. :D

Most people tend to see with the naked eyes approximately 60 frames per second.

This is also why 3D renders 2 images at 60 frames per second and the majority of entry 3D TVs are 120hz - two images rendered at the same time inside the TV - both at 60hz.

The human eye and whatnot does not see in frames however, it works with a continuous flow of light information - so the more complex the motion, such as high-speed motion, more color, etc. the higher frames per second we can perceive.  For example, if you watch a really old black and white film with no sound you'd probably notice jerky movement in the picture - this is not due to the film itself - back in the "old days" films generally had a FPS of 24 Frames Per Second, which is below the number (60 FPS) where the human eye will not notice.


Phew - did I confuse you?

TL;DR - TV's work fine, they just don't work as good as monitors that can perform at faster, smoother FPS - generally.
