a bunch of reviewing sites say that the tv has significant input lag (video gaming what you see is behind by a bit from the visuals) - is this true?

From CNET: Update: In Game mode the Samsung showed a relatively poor input lag measurement of 107.5ms. But there's a "trick" that allows it to achieve a much more respectable lag score of 53.1ms. To use it, select an HDMI input from the Input menu, go to the Options menu in the upper-right and rename the input "PC." Doing so allows it to achieve a better lag score.Also, search for your model at this site http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ It shows a lag time of 62ms and rates it OK. I like video game and am planning to buy this TV. I value the picture and tv/movie viewing more than the video games. I'm going to chance that this TV will be acceptable for gaming. I will reply back if input lag for gaming is a problem. From CNET: Update: In Game mode the Samsung showed a relatively poor input lag measurement of 107.5ms.

Hello Scott, This TB is a 600 Hz and should not have a major issue with this lag. I have not used this perticular model for gaming.

While we don't use it to game it has a much higher refresh rate (600Hz) than a comparable LCD and due to the nature of Plasma there is no motion blur. I have not read any reviews specific to gaming but based on my experience I think it would work well.

they are all answering in generalities and unfortunately its irrelevant, this and quite a few of the best plasmas this year suffer from just unacceptable input lag, the f8500 to a horrendous degree, it can be tamed to much more moderate levels by using a pc mode trick but its less than optimal for many reasons, but i suggest checking with avsforums and places with very in depth accounts to fully get a understanding of all the options. Actually i am just seeing you found displaylag.com and their database so this may not be of any use to you, oh well. Good luck

Generally the concern with most Plasma TV's and gaming has always been screen burn-in due to the persistent menu elements like a health bar, ammo count, etc. The majority of LED and Plasma TV's have features these days to shift pixels and prevent burn in, but you'll still see warnings and negative reviews due to this even today.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Pretty much any IPS monitor is likely going to have something like that. But you know, I haven't noticed much of it. I guess it depends on how picky you are. I'm a PC gamer, and while I can't say there is absolutely no ghosting, I've not noticed any that's bothered me while I've played games. I'm pretty picky about my displays so if it were an issue I would notice it. Now, if you're looking at doing high end FPS competition you might want to look elsewhere, same would be true about strong video editing. Outside of that, I don't think it will be a problem.

I really don´t know because it wasn´t a concern of mine. As far as I understand the lag is in the video processors, in order to minimize the log all video processing should be kept to a mínimum, this means you should disable the video processing in the receiver if you are using one and on the TV itself. I would expect the ViewHD Wii to HDMI to be faster than most video processors on the receivers or TVs.

I'm pretty sure that game mode is still 120hz. However there is a review that states the lag on the TV is less than 10ms.

There is no video lag on television programs or transcribing television material. I am not a game player so am unable to directly answer your question.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

I actually have the same question. I can say that for a while I was using a HDMI switch and didn't have any difference in lag with it or a straight connection so hopefully this will be the same.

I have had this TV for over a year now and I game on it. I've played Rock Band, The Last of Us, Uncharted, GTA5 and other games, and I have absolutely no problems with lag. Make sure you set it on game mode, however.

No, it probably won't help much. I found the lag to be equal to, if not worse than just my TV doing the upscaling.

HDTV's sometimes have a lag on the display caused by picture enhancements over HDMI--this is also apparent when playing video games. Put the TV in "game" mode so the response time is faster.

I use my PS3 with this TV, I don't notice any input lag. It's a great gaming TV in my opinion.

I use this TV for gaming on PS3 and 4. I haven't had any issues with latency, refresh rate or other visuals.

It does, and it works well enough, but contrary to previous responses, there is a tiny bit of delay. It's small enough that most games are playable without looking at the tv, but if you need a high level of precision, you'll want to look at the TV.

The only lag is the time the V image shows before tuning in. I don't use its tuner, but, when trying it out, I had no issues. I watch everything through the HDMI from ToVo, DVD, etc. Love the unit so far.

I wouldn't know - I bought it to play my Wii on a computer screen. So I can't say anything about HDTVs. All I can say is that there is no lag whatsoever in my case. Sorry !
