Does this TV have a picture mode called 'game'? Also, does the wireless turn off when the ethernet connection is used? Thanks

Yes, TV has a game mode, can't answer the ethernet question as I access via wireless. Also, did not see any reference in manual on this.

It does not have a picture mode called "game." Since I do not use it for the internet and do not have a wireless connection, I do not know the answer to your second question.

There is no special picture mode for "game," Marshall, but I can't imagine why it would be necessary. When the TV is hooked up to my computer with an Ethernet cable (HDMI) the TV behaves like a 42" monitor. The TV menu allows me to select different inputs. Selecting one input deselects the others, even though they might be active, meaning that I might have a USB flash drive on one connection, a computer (using the HDMI slot) on another, and the wireless connection active on another. In other words, they don't interfere with each other even though they are immediately selectable. I hope that this helps. --Russ There is no special picture mode for "game," Marshall, but I can't imagine why it would be necessary.

I did not see a game mode setting.The network setting state Ethernet LAN or wifi. I am using Ethernet LAN and the wifi is not on.

Marshall,As Sharon stated, there isn't a "game" preset (vivid, standard, home theater, cinema, and custom modes are included). As a fairly avid gamer, I'm using a tweaked version of "vivid" and ensuring that within that menu the pixel orbiter is turned from "auto" to "on." Also, if you're asking because you're concerned about input lag, you needn't worry; that is a concern on the step-up ST60 series.As for wifi turning off when the ethernet port is used, I'm unsure.

I recently purchased this TV and am extremely pleased with the picture quality. My son does play Xbox games on it and loves it. I am not aware of a game mode, however, I have not noticed an issue with lag. Good luck with your research.

The manual says that it has wireless capability, but that u must buy a Broadband/DLNA adaptor which is sold separately. We have not done this yet, but will be looking into it. It also says that if both wired & wireless networks are available, that wired is the preferred method. It has a great picture regardless.

I have played Xbox 360 and PS4 on mine without any lag or banding. I have zero complaints with this TV.

No. We have it hooked up on cable. If the receiver is off, there is no picture. Hope this helps.

Hi David, not sure what you are asking. Are you saying that you can't get a picture? Don't know if I can help. All I did was follow the setup instructions. You can get the user's manual by googling Westinghouse EW32S5UW.I'll have to say we've been very satisfied with our TV. Good luck.

Thanks for your post on this discussion regarding wireless connection for this TV. I still have a few questions.When you unhook your gaming adaptor and connect it to TV, you still need to connect your wireless router back to PC. So in that case, will this trick work using two regular wireless routers, one connected to PC and on to TV (after the wep key step)? I am not into gaming, so I don't want to spend a lot on the gmaing adaptor.

Yes, you can connect your computer to this TV. Just set the TV to Game Mode (this shuts off all the special post processing modes that introduce input lag, enables a 1:1 pixel ratio, and displays in 4:4:4). Then simply switch to the HDMI input that the PC is on. The computer will then use the TV as a monitor. The rest of the settings are done on your PC (mirrored desktop, wide, or using the HDTV as the main). And yes, the TV has wifi. It's pretty damn good if you opt to go that route, but I preferred a wired connection. Oh, and I forgot to mention: For best results, have the PC output a 1920 x 1080 resolution signal to the TV. Fixed pixel displays are best when showing their native resolution, with no scaling required.

Mine was not WIFI capable. We live in a WIFI area, but could not use it. It works fine at my sisters house who gives me the password to their wireless. FYI....the picture & video quality is very poor. My 7 year old son uses it mainly to pay games on. Hope that helps.

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.

It does have a USB port, but I haven't tried that operation, I did buy a blu-ray wireless, and I have all kinds of things line - like Netflix etc. Sorry I don't have an answer for you but it does have the connections. Other than that the TV works fine, I know of many complaints b/c other brands have a refresh rate lf 60 HZ and 1080 - but this TV looks fine, no problems. I sure if other TV's can do what you're asking this one can.

We found our wireless connection from VIZIO E701i-A3 (47") to be not fully reliable. We ran an Ethernet cable from our modem to the TV and have had no problems since. However, when we did connect wirelessly from TV the speed of streaming was stable. Our main problem was the TV dropping the wireless signal, and so, went Ethernet. FYI, we also have a wireless ROKU device which always functions just fine; so the suspect weaker wireless connection was within the TV itself. Hope this helps you.

Yes its 1080p, and its wired only. I've only had issues with mine playing Blue-rays even after sending it out for service.

This TV (6003) does NOT have an Ethernet port. It has wifi capabilities IF you buy the usb wifi dongle separately.

Definitely not wireless. It may have wireless Internet but I'm not even sure about that. My blu ray player died less than a year some system error code keeps popping up. Good player while it lasted though

I recently just bought this TV. The wifi connectivity is pretty good most of the time. However, sometimes the connection does get disconnected but it's easily resolved by putting in the wifi password again and reconnecting.

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...
