My Sony tv which I used with msfs 2024 is needing replaced, I have been running msfs 2024 at 4k 60hz with sync set at half refresh this keeps fps at a constant 30 and I’m happy with the smooth experience, I have been looking at monitors and a lot run at 120 or 144 refresh rates if I chose one of those can I still run msfs at the above settings so I still get a smooth experience or go with a smaller tv screen size(43in) at 60hz.

It's a complex situation. Higher refresh rates will allow (usually) a higher fps lock. However, is a higher fps count (provided it is above 30) really matter all that much in flight simming? That again depends on the type of simming you do. Tubeliners don't really need high refresh rates. Low and slow, would (paradoxically).

Would a smaller screen size offer the same immersion as a large tv? Doubtful but then again it is really up to what you prefer and the kind of flying you do most.

I use LG OLED 4K 120Hz TV Monitor will never go back to a monitor.

If you want a monitor this may interest you.

Before I went to VR I used a samsung 55" 4KTV. I would say that the main reason for using a 4KTV is that it will have built in frame interpolation. So if you set it up properly with a 30hz signal you gonna get 60fps on screen. IMO its as good as if not better than Frame generation.

I agree...framer interpolation is fantastic - My only comment would be that on my LG OLED C4s, I do get some artifacts as it tries to "upscale/interpolate" from 30 FPS to 60FPS if I've got V-SYNC set to 1/2 and a refresh rate of 60 Hz (no difference to using frame gen tho - you get artifacts either way in my experience). If I set the TVs to 120Hz however, and lock at 1/3 V-SYNC (40FPS) the amount of artifacts is near zero. I guess upscaling from 40 -> 60 is a LOT better than upscaling from 30 -> 60.... 

Thinking of getting 42in oled tv 120 refresh rate,if I lock vsync at half refresh rate and don’t get 60fps would I then be able to adjust refresh rate to 60 and vsync to half refresh rate which would give me 30fps which I know on my system runs smooth,at least I will have upraded the tv which I will also use for viewing tv programs 

I too bought the LG OLED 42”. It’s the C2 model. Great TV/Monitor.

How does one goes about setting the TV to 120Hz and locking V-Sync at 1/3?

I’m assuming I have to used the NVidia control panel.

I am running an RTX 4090.

Hey Jim,

I am using a 55" Sony X90K, it is 4K 120Hz and GSYNC compatible. I run 100Hz @4K with ultra settings (MSFS 2020) and lock my FPS to 72 which produces a beautifully consistent frame time variance. Sony TV's are well known for their excellent motion handling. I could not be happier with this TV and could never go back to a 43" TV

One more question for the boffins: Would a 4K tv work "properly" if I chucked a 1440p signal at it?
Advantages/disadvantages?

I'm certain my computer would not be able to deal with the demands of a 4K set @4K bearing in mind that I almost always fly add-on tubeliners.

Settled on lg 42in oled tv c4 which I have just set up,the 55in was too large for where I do my simming and the 42 fits in nicely running at 120hz vsync on at 33% keeping locked at 40fps not sure if this correct setting but getting a nice smooth experience and excellent visuals on this tv gpu running 63-82% and vram not going above 83% using msfs2024.

thanks for all your advice

You can set the refresh rate in NVIDIA Control Panel. Simply adjust the refresh rate to 120. Then in MSFS 2020 set V-SYNC to on and the rate to 1/3...

Do not switch the power off to the TV. just hit the red button at the top off the remote this will send the TV to sleep mode, then the CPU will carry out screen cleaning. This will clear pixel memory to stop burn-in it takes about 6mins. I don`t leave the screen on when not in use.

Thanks for the info. Really helpful. 
 

For those with an LG OLED TV I’ve been using LGTV Companion

it is a useful app for auto power on/off with windows.
