How well does this work for games? Does this still look good?

Dude, I've been running my 360 on this. And what can I tell you, it's everything that's on paper, and then some... I've been running games at 720p and 1080i and it's just Liquid Crystal CLEAR. So far, no, it does not introduce any lag. I'm still waiting for the 1080p games that aren't out yet. I expect to be blown away.

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

I think it's geared for that, 2ms and 1080p. I've been playing Bioshock Infinite since I woke up around 7am (now 9pm). Looks great. :)

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

I've played games using it for a few hours, maybe 6 maximum, so yeah it should keep cool enough.Be sure to keep your entire case cool as well with proper air flow.

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

If you don't play games or do any rendering then no, yours should be just fine, save your money and get something better IF you plan on playing games or do any graphics work on your PC.

As others have said, not recommended for gaming. I bought one of these and use it to display YouTube videos - for that purpose, it works fine. I've also used it at work for documents (Excel/PowerPoint/Word) without any issues.

I've used it for Skyrim and, more recently, Guild Wars 2 and have to say that for a laptop it's pretty decent. You need to run GW2 and low-medium graphics settings to get a reasonable frame rate. You can't expect a laptop to give you desktop quality graphics. If they put that kind of power in a laptop you could probably fry eggs on it.

My daughter uses it for World of Warcraft and Terraria which both work fine, I will have her check out Skyrim later today and give you a better reply

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

I got it for a i5 system with a quadro video card for 3D modeling.Worked perfectly. I think for a gaming system it should be fine.

I think they are saying its good for gaming. I remember reading that somewhere.

I bought this for a buddy about a year ago or so. It still works great he says. It's obviously not a high end gaming graphics card by any means, so if your planning on doing anything more than watching HD videos or playing some pretty weak games on it I'd recommend you get a better card. The thing about anything in a PC is you have to treat it right. You have to keep it cool & dust free if you want anything to last. Point of the story: Buy the card that fits your needs and treat it properly and it'll last. If you overburden it and let it overheat like crazy, it'll be dead within a couple years(or less).

Yes, works great. Motherboard doesn't make a huge difference for games though really -- get a nice video card, plenty of RAM and CPU and you're good.
