Samsung LN40B550 good for ps3? Looking to buy an lcd tv for my ps3. Just wondering if the LN40b550 would be a great gaming tv?

I've watched several DVDs and Blu-rays on my ln40b550 as well as played games on the 360, wii and PS3. I've even hooked my computer up to it via VGA and played some PC titles. It looks absolutely fantastic. I've seen details in games that I never noticed on my 34" LG that this set replaced. Also, text on this set is incredibly sharp and crystal clear, which is another plus for gaming.

So its not really 120hz or... what? I just bought the LN40C630, and I notice a lot of juddering still, like its not really working. In the store compared to the other tvs this one looked great during action scenes, but now that i have it in the house, i swear this thing is just as juddery. I messed with the settings for auto-motion and it seems like it may have even gotten worse *confused*....

I have been a life-long Sony fan. I bought my first Samsung TV (UN55B8000) 8 months ago and am totally satisfied. I have not experienced any issues whatsoever. The picture quality and price of the Samsung blows anything Sony had at the time I made my purchase. I highly recommend Samsung!

It's a great TV for gaming. But I would advise you to look at LG's other models including its 2013 Google TV. LG is my choice of TV and other electronic equipment.

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.

To be honest with you, I haven't use this TV for gaming. But I will eventually! It should be good since the quality of watching TV is very nice. I'm curious now since you've ask me!

I replaced my 7 year old Sony Bravia with the Samsung 6350. I think Samsung has a much better picture quality than Sony. You can't go wrong with the Samsung 6350....I'm very happy with mine!!

Is this TV capable of "24p"? I'm not sure what that is, but it supposedly improves the picture quality, so, and Panasonic just introduced this kick-ass BD player, which I would sooo consider buying after I get a new TV, since my 3-year old LCD (Dynex) totally stopped working about a month ago...(I'm using my gramma's 14" DTV for now, would upgrade yesterday, but I'll be w/o the necessary cash probably for another 8+ months...). Thanks.

I am certainly no TV guru but, I had purchased the LN40A550 & returned it & bought the LN40A650 & could not be happier! We noticed immediately that the picture looked faded on the 550 & went to one of the local retailers & found that this is a common complaint on these units. They actually had a LN40A550 & LN40A650 side by side in the store & there is a huge difference. We are very impressed with the picture quality regardless of what we are watching. We have had many friends commenting on the awesome picture on this TV. Hope this helps. Les

3d blu ray is supposed to show up sometime around the end of 2010. its disappointing because i just bought this TV expecting to buy a ps3 so i could watch 3d blu ray, but i'm second guessing buying the ps3 just so i can watch 3d movies since spending 650 on a playstation for the console and blu ray player seems like a huge waste of money.

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

Can't make up my mind between Sony KDL-32L4000 for $474.53 or Sony KDL-40S4100 for $858.83 out the door. Will be for master bed room or for "fitness" room (incentive...). Any recommendations? Which one is a better deal?-This depends upon how far your equipment is from the television. 8 more inches for $400 seems like a big jump. There has to be better values if you want a bigger television. However, the price for the 32" is a great deal.

Guy's,I need a little advice. I know nothing about LCD TV's. I'm moving into a house and ran into a guy that wants to sell a Samsung 40" 4061. The TV has been siting in his bedroom and is hardly used as he watches a bigger set in the living room. The set looks and works great and he's asking $500 for it. I think the set is several years old. Does anyone out there have any advice on buying this?Anything to look for? Is this a good price on a set with prices coming down this Christmas?Thanks for any input,Rudy

Thanks, Tolik - you helped me decide- upgradability and the game modes are big things. The Samsung seemed to have more power but I've learned you can't really rely on what they say the wattage is. I haven't owned enough Samsung equipment in the past to know what to expect - the TV is great but a sound system is another story.Mark - thanks for the CD info - for some reason I thought I'd get even better sound with a dedicated player ... if you can give me the model # on the Kenwood I might be interested (with over 400 CDS, a changer is sweet.).Don

Yeah, Samsung's are good tv's but Sony is the only way to go if you're going all the way. I had trouble with Samsungs and went with a Sony Bravia, and I haven't looked back at all since. I love my tv.

I'm interested in this also. I have an older Generation Samsung LNS4095 and it doesn't allow PIP if either source is HDMI. I called up Samsung after a long time and found out PIP is not available if either of the sources is via HDMI. Its in the manual, as it was pointed out to me, also. I'm looking to buy a new TV and would be curious to know if the 650 can handle it. I have a cablebox and PS3 connected via HDMI.
