Yes we bought this TV for my son for Christmas for gaming purposes and it looks terrible. We are going to have a tech savvy friend of ours come over to the house to see if he can successfully adjust it.

I assume the higher the Hz the better the motion on screen looks. Smoother vs. blur or pixelated.

Zero lag to the naked eye, mine anyway, very minimal motion blur, there's always gonna be a little...even on $5000 set. The tested response time, I believe, is under 25 ms which placed it 4th out of 5 tv's (the Panasonic was out of is league with the other 4 as they were priced at a minimum of $1300 and still beat at least one! ). Hope this helps.

I watch a lot of hyper stuff and I've never had a problem. The only other TV I can compare it to is my smaller LG which is only 120hz. The thing I really love about this TV is that the sound is clear even at very low levels. I watch TV a lot late at night and it's makes a big difference.

The refresh rate of 120 hz is for the benefit of this TV's 3D function. Otherwise, according to this article, higher refresh rates don't make sense.http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2379206,00.asp update: I found this Samsung article on their Clear Motion function. http://www.samsung.com/us/article/clear-motion-rate-a-new-standard-for-motion-clarity

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 have a response similar to Alston's, in that I have not experienced image blur with either games or screens with fast movements/action. The only thing I can think of is that the picture setting you are using may have the "Motion Smoother" on a different setting than it was in before. I hope that helps.

With updating the firmware and putting the tv intl game mode I have noticed only minor lagging at time compared to before the firmware update. Turn off motion smoothing also helps.with studdering during game plan. Certainly not the best tv for gamers but overall game play isnt a nuisance either...

It's a source issue..plasmas handle fast motion better than other types of TV. Many sources are poor though. Make sure your motion smoothing is turned off too.

I'd like to see some pictures from others as well. My 48" TCL's picture is so incredibly grainy, it's distracting. A HD TV shouldnt look like this when displaying 1080 content.

Michael. I have also read about people turning off the 120Hz. Seems strange that a feature that should "improve" fast motion needs to be turned off! Any owners out there have anything to add? I would love to hear from you.

Yes. It's called "smooth motion effect" on this TV and can be set to High, Medium, Low or Off in the Advanced Picture settings on the menu.

Yes this TV is killer for gaming!! That is why I bought it and was worried about the motion blur also and after I got it I was super stoked! I also got it to watch motocross racing and it has been great for that also. So Go for it man it is a great TV.

I haven't noticed anything like this. I don't watch sports but I've played video games on it a few times and never noticed any motion blur.

The TV manufacturers have come up with a new way to confuse you. Now they have some 120hz tv's with a 240 motion something or other. It's another stabilizing feature I suppose. Under extreme conditions, the 240hz will probably have a steadier picture on high speed action scenes. I haven't come a across a scene yet where it blurred. Most people are startled at the beautiful picture my 50 inch has and the price was very reasonable. I'm going to buy the 75 inch model of this same tv soon.

I wish I could give you a comprehensive answer, but I can't since I don't use the unit for gaming. The most I can say is that there's no blur or indication of unwanted motion in any of the broadcasts I have received, including the Indy 500, which may have presented a bit of a challenge in this respect. I hope you find that your Panasonic is as suitable for gaming as it is for standard usage. Good luck!

The only thing you can bank on is that the true refresh rate is 120, twice the 60 rate on some models that I've seen, that were still decent TV's. In the settings on the TV you can turn on an option "Clear Motion Refresh (CLR)" which Samsung claims will simulate a refresh rate of 240. As with all smoke and mirrors, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I haven't found any issues with blurring during fast action sequences and I don't even have the CLR option turned on. The CLR can produce a "soap opera" like effect. After owning this TV for a year, my only remorse was not buying an 80" set. Bigger always seems better, although I have friends with the Samsung UN55ES8000 55" 3D model and they love those TV's, too. If you're patient, you could find one of those sets for $1500 on the web. The best new price I've seen for the UN65EH6000 has been $1299 at BrandSmart.
