How good is this TV for gaming? I'm planning on buying PS4 to go with it and I want to know will it utilize all the graphics the PS4 offers.

I have only seen older game systems used on this tv so I cannot comment on the ps4 however it worked great with older ones! It really is a great tV!

The TV has a native resolution of 1280x1080 so it is full HD. You don't get any better than that unless you buy those 4k; which would be ridiculous because beyond 1080p the human eye is not capable of telling the difference. As far as the colors go it is not the very best, but it is top tier and you won't notice any lack of vibrancy. I have played Wipeout HD in 3D and it is flawless.

Frankly, I do not know---I've never tried to do gaming on this TV. But, based on how lacking or primitive some of the other features are (see my review), I would check this out thoroughly before purchasing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You really can't do better clarity-wise. Unless u get one of those new $20,000 4k televisions. I have the 55 inch and I play my 360 on it. No complaints here

Jonathan,Which model did you end up going with? I was super interested in this TV, but it apparently doesn't support 1080i, which is no good for my Xbox 360. Also, does anyone know what the difference is between the older model (32HL67) and this one (32HL67U, "U" indicating a newer iteration)?

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

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.

Hello. I am almost close to selecting KDL52V4100. All you owners of the TV, would u know if the screen has matte finish? I wanted to see this TV in BB but could not find it. so I havent seen it. I have seen SHARP and LG HDTVs and they have excellent matte finish. Can you please tell me how is screen finish for this SONY TV ?

I just purchased a 46" XBR4 and have a ps3/xbox360. My parents have a 52" W 3000. I have played my systems on both of these tvs and they both look amazing. Both of these tvs can handle the ps3 and xbox360. In my opinion you can't go wrong with either one.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

Man, didn't think this TV could do more than it already does! I got lucky and found this TV on craigslist 2 days ago in pristine condition at half the cost. I was playing around with it all last nite and still haven't gotten to all the features. Great TV...especially for what I paid for it. :-)

Great no complaints from my perspective, the tv is fabulous but again that's only my opinion. Hope it helps! Ps I would buy it again

OK so I am thinking about buying this TV. I am most interested in picture quality and price, but of course there is more to buying a tv. So can anyone here tell me if they have buyers remorse, and if so, what do you wish you had done instead??

SUZANNNA E., This television supports most game consoles (Including PlayStation) and Blu-Ray, DVD players and Home Theater systems. The picture quality for all of them should be great. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. Samsung

Dude, I've been running my 360 on this. And what can I tell you, it's everything that's on paper, and then some... I've been running games at 720p and 1080i and it's just Liquid Crystal CLEAR. So far, no, it does not introduce any lag. I'm still waiting for the 1080p games that aren't out yet. I expect to be blown away.

I've been playing the PS4 version Dragon Age: Inquisition on it and am very impressed with the graphics. However, if you're asking about FPS lag time, I can't help you. I haven't tried hooking speakers up to it. I have to say, the sound is much better than my other flat screen; it doesn't have the "muffled" quality I'm used to with most flat screens.

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 play PS4 (Destiny and Advanced Warefare) on it and it seems great to me. I would recommend getting some type of speakers or head set because the sound on the TV is terrible though.
