This TV makes games like NBA 2K14, GTA V, Assassins Creed 4 look horrible compared to the gameplay on youtube. BTW on my PS3. ANY TIPS?

You are moaning and groaning about how a 8 year old tv makes your games look compared to tvs of today?! Get a life.

I have been playing my ps4 and is not bad for a plasma tv, of course picture on a LED would be much cleaner. Overall I think that it has a great picture for gaming.

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.

Yeah, use 720p, as 1080i at best would look the same, and would probably look worse. The 360 usually renders internally at 720p (sometimes lower), and just upsamples it to hit 1080i-and then the TV would have to downsample it back to 720p, so probably there's going to be a loss of quality there...or at least it would be pretty silly to do that!

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!

I'd also like to know what settings other people are using. I have my PS3 hooked up to this monitor and blu-rays look terrible on it. My PS3 is set to 1080p output and still the blu-rays look extremely grainy and there's streaks in dark areas. I have no clue what to do. I took back another ASUS model because of this issue. I was hoping this one would be different, but it's not. Please, someone post your settings.

The TV will display only using the refresh rate it gets from the equipment. For example, when we hook the TV up to my computer through HDMI port 2, we are able to set the refresh rate on the computer to 120, and the TV senses that and displays at that rate. When it is connected to my Playstation, the best it gets is 1080p 60hz (and then GTA is programmed to 720p 60hz), so that's what is indicated on the TV display. If the signal the TV is getting is only 60hz, it doesn't double the refresh rate, it can only display what it is being given.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

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 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.

When I tried using the composite upconversion for the Wii, the picture looked terrible! It was very grainy and there were bars on all 4 sides. I have since bought a componet cable for the Wii and the picture quality is much better but there are still bars around the picture. When the Wii is connected directly to my 55" Sony LCD, it looks perfect. I called Sony support and they thought the receiver was defective so I exchanged it for a new DH820, and had the same results.

I purchased mines from a Sony outlet in December 2010 and the only issue I have had with it is a distorted line on the right side of the screen every so often when it's turned on. The line goes away afte about 10 minutes tho. My son has used it as a gaming tv the last three years and its still the best tv in my house..

Although this is an old question, my answer may help new buyers. I've owned this TV since 2010 and the "ghosting" effect on darker images in games has annoyed the H out of me for the last 4 years. Now that my warranty is about to run out I don't feel guilty about buying another tv. Apparently this is a common complaint on Samsung LED's.

Be sure to follow Chompy's advice, turn the sharpness level to *zero*. That helps a lot. At first I was so disappointed with the performance of this tv for xbox one. After I turned the sharpness level to 0 everything changed. It's not blur anymore and the quality of the picture is amazing!

Wow, there are so many little things that could be causing the problem. First of all it would help if you knew if your TV was capable to 1080p, I kind of doubt it, but most certainly it'll have 1080i if it is an HDTV. If you have 720 that is also very good. Next you need to check your setup on your PS3 screen settings and make sure you have every single format that is compatible with your television checked, this can be very important. When I first got my TV I had an older model 50" rear-projection HDTV. But mine came out before HDMI so I was forced to hook up via 3 cable (or 5 if you count the audio) composite. My TV could only handle 480i, 480p, and 1080i. It made a big difference which PS3 game I happened to be playing. It is important to read the back of the box of your PS3 games to read what resolution(s) each particular game supports. My Madden 08 only supports 480p, 480i, 720p. Because of this, even though my TV could handle 1080i which is HD, it is not supported by the game. And since my TV could not operate in 720p, that was a no go. Therefore, Madden O8 on my PS3 only showed on my big HDTV in 480p which is not at all HD. But what could I do? Nothing. But a game like Warhawk supports 720p and 1080i so my TV totally rocked in the 1080 department with that particular game. I had the exact same problem with Resistance: fall of man; it only supports 720p. But again, check your PS3 screen settings b/c if you don't have a given resolution checked, the PS3 won't even attempt to project it.
