How is the monitor for gaming? Also are you able to hook up say a ps3/4 to it? I primarily game on my PC but from time to time I like to go ps3.

I only play PC games and this monitor is outstanding. Clear, crisp images always. I highly recommend this monitor.

I have never use this display for gaming purposes. If the ps3 or 4 has an HDMI output, it should work just fine.

Read my review about this monitor for PC & console gaming.http://www.amazon.com/review/R3X6P1G2C28FH/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B004G8QO8OBasically I would avoid this monitor for gaming and instead get a monitor that let's you edit the image color saturation, includes speakers with a headphone jack to avoid buying RCA audio adapters for console gaming, a matte anti-glare screen to prevent light reflections appearing on the screen, and has a 5ms or less response time for less ghosting (or image trailing) effect.This monitor has none of the things I listed and for the price that this monitor costs you're better off buying something else that's cheaper.

I'm an old retired guy and am not much into gaming. I really can't answer your question, however I will say that for other purposes, this is a great monitor.

I've only ever played EA sports football and basketball games on ps3 on it. It drops back down to 720 even with the hdmi cable. The sound is amazing, the picture is better than most, but I won't tell you it's the best I've seen. 8 out of 10.

I got it to work with my PC but not my PS3 that it was intended for. I think it requires that it uses analog and digital with the vga? Not sure. Hope that helps bro. "Be excellent to each other!" - Abe Lincoln

I don't have a gaming system connected to it, but if your PS4 has an HDMI output I see no reason why you should be unable to plug it in to this monitor. Not only does the HDMI signal from my computer carry the video, but the speakers are sufficiently loud and dynamic for my kids to play games and be quite happy. I think it'll work just fine as long as you don't expect too much from the speakers.

It should be it has Hdmi function. This is a very very good monitor. I had mine hooked up to my ps4 and it shows like a pc. It is made for gaming. You will need to get some speakers though.

Monitors don't really affect your gaming experience its your computer and mainly video card. But its good, a bit small for my liking.

Console gaming, yes, since it has HDMI but it does not have VGA for PC gaming. Console gaming looks beautiful on this TV's 1080p.

I am using it as a monitor. I had the previous generation model used as the same. Neither is gaming, so I can't respond to that, but as a big screen monitor with built-in speakers, it works great.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

I use it for PC gaming, mostly the moba and RTS genre. But I occasionally play CS. Works fine, but you have to sit pretty close. And it looks great too. No idea how it works with a console though.

Honestly, I can say that it isn't spectacular for gaming. I tried to play the new Far Cry on it and it was lagging so bad that I couldn't play it. It can play games like Skyrim and Fallout. But then again those games aren't that new.

I haven't hooked up my PC or laptop to it, but I have my PS3 connected to it. Without knowing all the technical jargon, in my opinion, I think it works great and the picture quality is great! I usually use my PS3 for Madden and Black Ops 2, and I have no complaints about it whatsoever.

I don't game, but I would assume these monitors are not great for gaming. They are relatively low resolution, 1440x900 rather than an HD monitor at 1920x1080. Their refresh rate is only 60Hz and I think most gaming monitors are more around 120Hz? Both of mine came with a standard VGA cable, but the monitors also accept DVI-D input.

Yes and no. This monitor does not have built in speakers, so you would be able to see but would not be able to hear. There's adapters that allow you to plug your PS3/PS4 up with separate speakers. If you feel like it's worth it, give that a search. In short, I recommend finding another monitor that has built in speakers.

the monitor is great for gaming, I don't have ghosting or tearing. Pixel speed is fine.You need decent video cards to use it although. 3840x2160 is tough with 16xAF, 4xMSAA, occlusion, parallax and all the other visual candy. Also you need a video card that can specifically talk to the monitor with supporting drivers, both aspects. display port 1.2 is the only connection that will give you 60fps, dvi and hdmi can't push it at 60, only 30.To get decent frames over 60+ I use 2 Titanz sli.

Don't use it for gaming. I notice color ghosting when I'm just moving windows around on screen so I think it will look pretty bad if you try some high fps gaming on it. This monitor was built for superb color accuracy (and it does it really well) and that comes at the expense of things like response time. Asus makes other monitors that are specifically for gaming, I suggest you go with one of those.
