can you do Dual Play Gaming (each player gets a full screen) on this TV and if yes then do you need to buy different glassed like the LG s?

I regret I cannot answer your inquiry as I was so dissatisfied with the PQ compared to my High End Samsung I sent it back for a refund within 24 hours. I would suspect this particular panel is in fact a rebadged LG (it's not truly a Sony panel) and likely to carry the same traits as the LG or other provider like AUO. I would recommend you confirm this at a viewing store or at AVSFORUM.COM where other owners share their experiences. Good Luck!

Yes, dual screen and no need to purchase different glasses. No glasses required at all for 2d gaming.

Nope this tv as far as I know doesn't suport dual play. I haven't found it anywhere in the settings if it does.

yes it is compatible, I just checked the LG website. Its really cool I recommend it to anybody with an LG cinema tv. Best 25 bucks I've spent in a long time. Love it for call of duty, no more split screen. Everyone is shocked when they use these glasses and see how well they work. Player one only sees player ones screen their screen and player 2 only sees what they would see if playing by themselves. Here's the link to your tvs spec page http://m.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55LA7400-led'.

The seller lists it as compatible with all LM & CM model LG Tv's so it should be. These are actually dual play 3d glasses for gaming but will work for 3d video viewing as well. Dual play glasses are used so players playing a video game in slpit screen eliminates the split screen & each player only sees his own charactor on the screen as a full screen view rather than seeing the split screen senario. I have a pair also I use on my 47LM6400 3D TV. on my games it works great I use my 3D glasses that came with my TV for 3D Videos. Either will work though as they are for 3D viewing on 3D tv's.

I would recommend you check the LG website. You will be able to see all the glasses that will work with your TV. Or, call the LG support phone number and they can tell you.

I watch all of that through my smart TV but I don't see why not. I wouldn't buy this product - mine broke after 5 months and it took 6 weeks for them to fix. I'll never buy an LG product again - go with Samsung.

I wouldn't recommend it for game play. I think there is a little lag time. Further, you need to use the Black Magic software package to see what the unit is seeing. So you wouldn't be able to go full screen with the image. It wasn't designed with this in mind. If you wanted to record brag clips this might be a good way to go.

I recently purchased this TV and am extremely pleased with the picture quality. My son does play Xbox games on it and loves it. I am not aware of a game mode, however, I have not noticed an issue with lag. Good luck with your research.

I use the glasses that came with the the TV in the box. Try searching on eBay for more glasses or go to LG website.

I don't use it for gaming but it's a great TV. Don't see why I would ever spend $1000+ for the same sized TV when this TV does everything I need (watching regular TV and movies via laptop/Apple TV) with same or similar quality as other brands.

Yes the tv allows for both viewing modes. I watch non 3D the majority of the time. Great tv by the way. I love mine.

This television is awesome with gaming. I have an Xbox 360 and play Halo 4, Battlefield 4, and Madden on line and it is great. I also purchased a Sharp sound bar from Amazon and it really enhances the gaming experience.

Don't buy the Samsung. Their customer service has been really bad and have told me this (almost) top of the one tv is 100% perfect, even though there are black shadowy vertical stripes across the screen. They confirmed it is the tv (not a component or app) but that it is within their technical specs. Buy a Sony or LG.

We are big time gamers. Our gaming systems also surf the web. Its great. The clarity of this tv is amazing esp for the price. I hope this answers your question.

I would call LG to find out if they will work with your tv or check the manual. Some of the tv's are particular as far as which glasses will or wont work. I couldn't buy and just any pair of 3d glasses. My tv was specific so I had to but those 3d glasses for my TV.

LG comes with an app for games and you can even download games and save them. You can play some games from some sites too but it could be a little bit difficult to play using the the magic remote. But like I said before you can download games for kids using the "Games App" and play them using the magic remote.

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

To my knowledge, the game itself must support 3d and you turn it on in the games options/settings. Then activate 3d on the tv via the remote or menu screens. The full screen two player 3D is called DualPlay. The passive glasses are polarized with each left and right lens separate, say left lens is A and right lens is B. The glasses that come with the TV therefore do not support DualPlay as it requires one player to wear A-A lens glasses and the other to wear B-B lens. You need to buy those glasses with A-A and B-B lens separately. Hope this helps.
