How is the response time for gaming? Any motion blur? I notice that this is a 60hz refresh rate LED TV, is it better to get a 120hz LED TV for gaming?

Having this TV for a couple of months and playing my PS4 on it, I can say that this is an excellent TV for gaming. There is no motion blur, and it is very high quality. Depending on what games you play can determine which HZ rating you will want. All and all however, it's a great all around TV.

I looked all over and I can't seem to find an answer to this question, either. I did read a review on a website called digitaltrends, though. They said there was a lot of motion blur in fast-paced movie scenes, which isn't reassuring. I wonder if there is a "game mode" like some hdtv's have? :/

Daniel, I'm sorry I'm a 62 year old Grandpa and I'm not into gaming. I cannot help you unfortunately.Carl G.

this is from cnet"The big step-up feature for this series is a 120Hz refresh rate, which is said to cut down on the motion blur sometimes seen by sharp-eyed viewers in fast-moving scenes -- although in our tests of 60Hz LCDs, motion blur hasn't been an issue."

Jean, I've got a 65" F8000 and I've looked thru the book and in the emanual on the TV and see nowhere does it list refresh rate. That may be a term that gets complicated when you're dealing with Smart TVs. On the Samsung website, it lists a 1200 clear motion rate and the Amazon site tech details say 240 HZ. I can find neither with the pubs that came with it. I can only say that it's a superior picture for action and movement onscreen from my layman's point of view.

I would think that it's 60hz because of the super low response time. Most of your new HDTV's have at least a 120 and in some cases 240hz refresh rate which is what makes their response times anywhere from 10-18 ms. Doesn't seem like a lot until you play on a BENQ which has a 1 ms response time.

I'm sorry, but 120Hz looks like poop. It gives movies and TV a weird shimmer about it. I'm well aware of why this occurs and what is happening within the TV, but this is not something I need to just "get used to". I want my movie to look like it did when I saw it in the theaters (obviously scaled down a tad, but that's a different topic), but 120Hz give all the fast movement in the picture an unnatural feel, and looks nothing like the original. I may be alone in my stance, but 120Hz just doesn't sit right with me or my eyes, and it never will.

I don't thing it will work for gaming it's only 60 Hz refresh rate. It say 120 effective but you need at least 120 refresh for no lag. I bought it for my camper just to watch movies.

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 dont think the tv has bad motion blur at all. At least not for a LCD. As a matter of fact its the best I've ever seen. But at all LCDs have motion blur its part of the tech. But its the best at handle motion blur I've ever seen. I dont think you will even notice it. As for inout lag, i am not sensitive to tv input lag, so i cant tell.

Would any of you who own this TV please speak up your experience? I'm considering a buy until seeing this thread. Please help. Thanks. Luan

It's a LED monitor with 120hz refresh rate, 1ms response (GTG) time and also it's a 3D monitor..Here is the Amazon link if that will help you. You can also access the BENQ website for more info.BenQ High Performance Gaming XL2720T 27-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitorbtw, I love this monitor, if I had to name one con, it's that the colors are not a true as other monitors are. Colors seem a bit washed out...but, a little tweaking on the settings can correct most of that. This screen's strong point is the 120hz that delivers smooth images in gaming...FPS look fantastic, no lag or blur and the monitor itself is beautiful.

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.

This TV supports 120 Hz. I have used this TV for regular viewing with cable TV, with a gaming console ported through a high speed HDMI cable, and as a PC monitor ported through a high speed HDMI cable and a PC GPU. I never had any issues with image/video quality.

I love it for gaming. The refresh rate might be too much for really fast games, but I have no problems with CS:GO. All my games look amazing with very lush colors and good range when it comes to blacks and whites. It's perfect if you plan for multi-monitor situations like eyefinity too.

Motion blur is a very subjective thing. Everyone seems to look at it differently. In my opinion, TV's that are built for a standard refresh rate (60hz) are generally the most consistent to how they deal with motion blur, because it's a well established standard, so everyone designs for it. If you're using a non-standard refresh rate (say 120hz), then the software has to deal with modifying the input, and you have some sort of conversion going on. I've seen TV's that look *terrible* even on simple camera pan's, because they use a non-standard refresh rate and the software deals with it poorly. On the other hand, the owner of that TV swears it looks great (maybe because he shelled out $$$ for it). The absolute best thing you can do is to see it in person. That's really the only way you can tell if it's going to work for you or not. Partially as well it depends on TV settings and input source (and settings), so this is something that can be really difficult to figure out before you pull the trigger on your purchase. Fortunately Amazon does have a good return policy, so the best thing may be to buy it, try it, and return it if you don't like it.

Its the refresh rate. I own this TV and the TV I used to have was 120hz. I was weary about getting the 60hz but the price was unbeatable for this one and I see absolutly no difference from 120hz

I was going to buy it for PC gaming but wont if Hz cant adjust. Isnt it true that all new LED TVs can auto set to whatever the games fps (60 or 120Hz) is?
