how is this tv for sports?

At sixty pounds, I find it a little heavy to throw, although since it is so big, it is pretty easy to hit at the plate. You're not going to get a home run with it though, and it won't fit in the net for two points. If you mean is the picture good enough for sports, yes it is. There are plenty of options to adjust to get the picture just how you like, including options to improve the picture for fast motion and crisp images during sports action. The viewing angle is also good, and you can see the picture clearly even from out to the side. I think the viewable angle is over 160 degrees, it looks good way out to the side from where I'm sitting right now.

I'm not a big gamer but play Forza now and then, it works fine for me. Search for displaylag, it's a list of the best tv's and monitors for gaming, the rating on the this tv is "okay" @ 56ms.

Great no complaints from my perspective, the tv is fabulous but again that's only my opinion. Hope it helps! Ps I would buy it again

Watching sports on this tv sucks for me. But that is just my opinion. I think that the 120HZ would be prolly be better.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my TV for sports (if only my sports team had been as enjoyable). Action sports, specifically football and some basketball look great. I actually disable the motion smoothing effect and think that the image has been outstanding. I agree with other responders in that you need to do some tweaking of the default setting but there are a few out there you can find via a web search to get you started.

There's a slight motion blur. I mean SLIGHT. And the blacks aren't that great, but after you get the right settings you can get it pretty close.I have it, I didnt take it back and I'm happy with it. For under $700 you'll be hard pressed to find a tv without a slight blur or some difficulty with fast movements, like in FPS games.I'd recommend spending more money if you want THE gaming TV. This one will do just fine though.

Have owned a 40" TCL for over two years and it works great. Picture is exceptional, sound is similar to all flat screen tv's a little weak. Have it in the bedroom and with a ROKU attached it is quite the media center.

The LT provides 720p not the 1080p, but looks pretty good. No issues with the HDMI hook up. This is fine for me as my tv only does 720p.

For the money this TV is great for anything. I run bluray and PS3 through it and the visuals are eye popping.

I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it. I've owned the TV for roughly a month now...Regarding the questions that I asked previously in this post, I have yet to see any banding issues on any DVDs or Blu rays, no clouding issues, and have not experienced any hdmi hand shaking issues what so ever. I really can not comment right now on the sports issue due to the football season being over...but I will be watching the NCAA tourney! So far, the TV has performed exceptional and the picture quality is excellent. I feel the display's panel being a 10 bit panel over an 8 bit like most other LCD displays really is beneficial!by the way, Thanks for the response James :P I ended up purchasing this display as well...and I'm very happy with it.

Gamble. Thanks for the reply. If you read the reviews on Amazon it seems that the reviewers seem to think the 65 model is better! I would go for the 65 as I want the best display as possible. I watch soccer and need the better fast motion that this model should display (less blurry) hope this helps. Keep in touch!Mike

Hi, The TV is excellent. Very good quality for a non "name brand". I will gladly purchase another one when this one dies.

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 like mine so far. I only bought it for the price. I don't hear any buzz so far, but it's only been used about three or four times. I have a Samsung 46" lcd 1080p in my bedroom and I think the picture on this 50 inch holds up well against it. Someone in one of the reviews I read on this plasma tv says that there is a chip that prevents "burn in" on these newer plasmas. Well not on this one. The manual clearly states that burn in is an issue and to turn down brightness and contrast while playing video games or dvds. We'll see what happens I guess.

Not football but other videos in large seminars and the picture quality is really good. We are even at a much lower resolution than if I were watching a movie at home. I use it because of the short throw function onto a very large screen.

It is a beautiful screen. I have been in contact with Vizio. It seems the problem is not in the set. It is with the Sevice providers and they are working on a solution with internet providers and the streaming companies. Your local station sports viewing is beautifully displayed

I don't normally watch sports on this machine. I use it as my desktop monitor because I can plug a laptop in thru the HDMI port and use both machines. Having said that, I hooked up and external HD antenna and watched the Bears lose tonight. Although I occasionally lost the screen due to thunderstorms bollixing reception, I did not notice any blurring. I then went to ESPN through my desktop and watched some of their videos. Voila, occasionally the screen blurs. I don't know whether I need a faster internet speed or whether the box is at fault. I suspect internet due to it working OK over the air. Hope this helps.
