Has anyone hooked up a PS3 or PC to this for gaming? I am looking to get this TV for my living room to watch movies and sports but would also like to use it for video gaming with my PS3 and hooking my PC to it. Can anyone comment on the quality of this...

My son had his XBox360 hooked up to it and was blown away by it. We have hooked to PC up to it, but only to watch live feed we had very good results. Honestly, I can find nothing wrong with this TV at all.

I just want to know if their is any pixelization during sports. I have a 52 inch samsung lcd 60htz and it get choppy during fast action, does this tv do it too? or does the 600 htz take that problem away?

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).

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.

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.

I've used it with a PS3 and a PS4 and I'me very pleased with the image quality, latency etc..2 things to not are that this TV, like most modern sets, has a game mode that you should use. I'm assuming that this helps with lag issues. The other thing is that the speakers on this tv are fine but not great. if you like enjoying the sound in your games as much as the graphics you'd be served well by getting a soundbar or a more involved speaker setup.

I have been trying to get this to work for awhile and have been unsuccessful. I bought the $40 VGA cable and hooked it up to the TV with a seperate audio cable (headphone jacks) and put the external monitor setting on the PC and I still cannot change the source to PC on the TV. It claims that the source options will only become available when those inputs are hooked up to something......well I am definetely hooked up to my computer and the TV is not taking a signal????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Happens whenever I transition to a game. I get very brief signal error and then I hear that fart sound as you describe. I just ignore it since it doesn't seem to be causing problems otherwise. By the way, I am not using the soundbar. I get this same thing with the PS3 being connected directly to the Samsung TV. How do you like the soundbar otherwise? I am looking to get something that makes hearing dialog on movies and TV better. No matter how much I adjust the levels on the TV I can't get it quite right.

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.

The VGA I had it hooked up to for a day or so seemed fine, but I did not play any games on it. You can pick up a VGA to HDMI cable conversion for $8. Not sure if that would alleviate any potential issues.

I just bought my first HDTV - the Samsung LN37A550, for playing regular movies and my Xbox 360. I did a lot of research before making the commitment, and I decided on this Samsung because of the size (not too big for my living room), the price (just over $1,000 is a great deal) and the features (HDMI hookups, 1080p). Your PS3 outputs games at 1080p, so you should definitely look for that feature to get the most out of it - the PS3 will also play blu-ray movies at 1080p and upconvert regular movies to 1080p over HDMI cables. Look for a set that has a high contrast ratio (the higher the number the more colors will look vibrant and the blacks look darker) and a fast response time (in this case the lower the number the faster, so that games and fast action sequences appear smooth). Most importantly (I think) pick a size that seems right for the room in which you will use it. There's no point dropping $$$$ on a huge TV if you have a small room - HDTV is so much sharper than regular TV, you won't need a massive set to see the benefits. For a bedroom, consider getting something either 32" or 37". Check out the Sharp LC32D64U, the Sharp LC37D62U or the Samsung LN37A550 (the one I ended up buying) for some good models at this size range. Good luck!

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

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

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.
