We hooked up the WII through the wireless transmitter - the WII console is in kids bedroom upstairs and the TV downstairs in the living room. Worked perfectly with the Magic Motion remote. For WII Sensor we placed two candles at the base of the TV and everything worked like a charm.

I haven't tried that, but you can hook it up through a tv. I would imagine the game system would work if it is one which just plugs into those plugs on a regular tv.

Game consoles look amazing on these TV's. Upscaling will only do so much but the TV will respond to the resolution and format that the console is displaying. The gaming experience on a 55" screen is breathtaking and beyond thrilling

Yes it does... You can attach a video game console to it and play video games on it. It's a wonderful TV

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?

Cannot help with the game consoles question but I am very pleased with this tv. We hooked it up to a dvd player and it is great.

Yes, this tv is worth buying. I have the panasonic 54v10 and it handles the games great.

Hey there! I actually do not have a videogame system, but I use the television for 3D movies. Depending on the programming, the television looks average with regular television, great with HD programming and EXCELLENT in 3D. Also the WebTV aspects of the television are incredible. I almost forgot to mention that the speakers are average (maybe even below average) but I have surround sound through another speaker system. Overall, however, It's a really good buy.

Frankly, I do not know---I've never tried to do gaming on this TV. But, based on how lacking or primitive some of the other features are (see my review), I would check this out thoroughly before purchasing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I've used it with a PS3 and a PS4 and I'me very pleased with the image quality, latency etc..2 things to not are that this TV, like most modern sets, has a game mode that you should use. I'm assuming that this helps with lag issues. The other thing is that the speakers on this tv are fine but not great. if you like enjoying the sound in your games as much as the graphics you'd be served well by getting a soundbar or a more involved speaker setup.

I also am interested in the PX 3D. Have you pulled the trigger and bought this TV?

I have only seen older game systems used on this tv so I cannot comment on the ps4 however it worked great with older ones! It really is a great tV!

Disney Universe and Mario Cart Wii played beautifully - not to mention they up-converted into 3D flawlessly. I can't speak for hardcore FPS folk, but if you're a casual gamer, I doubt that lag is an issue you need to be worried about with this TV at all.

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 finally ditched cable and this is the only way I watch TV and movies....I would also suggest getting a 15' HDMI cable (that is what I hv) so I can watch TV from my couch. But definitely it will work...it has 2 HDMI ports. I don't have any game systems or bluray devices....so this works for me very well. Let me know if I can help you out w/anything else.

My kids have been very happy with their games on the Wii and XBox 360. And although I have it hooked to a home theater system, the regular TV audio is more than sufficient for most applications. Very happy with the TV.
