Major gamer here and I personally would not game on this tv. Now my daughter plays my old GameCube on it but I would never hook my x1 to it.

Its a great little TV, good picture and sound, as far as durability gos, no electronics are really durable, but you could get an extended warranty if you are concerned.

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.

Yeah I have noticed that someone always has a problem with there game consoles. I was looking at my other option and someone was having a problem with their PS3. My primary use would be gaming and blu ray so I am cautious to sink five hundred plus in a system and not have it working fantastic. I probably will still get this one and hope for the best. I hope you figure out the situation.

It's nice with 3D gaming, but not amazing. If you're a solo gamer, you'll likely feel a little more immersed in your game. I really like it with multiple games on the PS4 and think you'll be pleasantly surprised too. This TV definitely has an IMAX feel.

Slight. Yes, Im that guy using a ps2 with monster component cables. There is a microscopic lag, but not enough to worry about. Even fast fighing games, Doa ran great, as did other twitch games. Games look better if they are 480p, but 480i (most ps2 games) is acceptable. Im playing Final Fantasy 12 on this tv(480i) and it looks great.

I am considering the 325 and had considered placing it next to the TV as I have space there. From what you said this would bae a bad move. I am not in a position to purchase an HDTV now - we have a good, but very heavy old SONY which I fear is too heavy. I can build a supporting unti to place the 325 in and then set the sony on top. Do you think this would have any negaative affect on the 325 sound quality? Thanks very much for any thoughts you may have.cassocala

I am not into gaming. However, when I read the reviews of others before I bought, one of the reviewers said it was great. You might look at the TV page and look for other reviewers. You can find his.

I just purchased a 46" XBR4 and have a ps3/xbox360. My parents have a 52" W 3000. I have played my systems on both of these tvs and they both look amazing. Both of these tvs can handle the ps3 and xbox360. In my opinion you can't go wrong with either one.

Don't buy a Sony TV. They are completely unreliable, and Sony's warranty is worth NOTHING. I bought this TV, and two years later with VERY little use, and absolute care the TV failed and the cost for repair was more than I paid for the TV. I junked it, and bought a Samsung! Fantastic TV, and complete platform compatibility right out of the box!!!

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.

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

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.

I don't use it for gaming but it's a great TV. Don't see why I would ever spend $1000+ for the same sized TV when this TV does everything I need (watching regular TV and movies via laptop/Apple TV) with same or similar quality as other brands.

Hello. I am almost close to selecting KDL52V4100. All you owners of the TV, would u know if the screen has matte finish? I wanted to see this TV in BB but could not find it. so I havent seen it. I have seen SHARP and LG HDTVs and they have excellent matte finish. Can you please tell me how is screen finish for this SONY TV ?

I must say, if you are a hardcore gamer, this TV is not for you. I am a gamer and games have a lot of static images and they will get burn into the screen, trust me I learnt it the hard way.

I went with the Sharp BD player, and it's working fine now. I already have a PS3, but I wanted a second player for a smaller tv I have in my household (which is a Sharp Aquous too).
