I didn't like it at first as it made most material look like a soap opera. Now that I have gotten used to it I really like it. This TV has no motion lag at all. Its a very good set.

No PC, I have only played 3D games on PS3 with Killzone 3 and Grand Turismo. There is no lag at all. However PS3 is 5-10 years old now? The TV is awesome. No motion blur or lag on anything I watch.

I just took delivery of my 550, and I immediately saw blurring while watching hockey (and some on basketball). It's as if the TV is going in and out of focus very quickly, and it's very annoying. I'm pretty sure I'm going to send the TV back, but really need to know if anyone thinks this issue goes away with the 120 hz models. If so, I'll trade up. Thanks.

what about games that require timing, games like guitar hero, dance dance revolution, ect... how does it fare on them. i see a lot of TV's have "game mode" for games like these, but this one doesn't.

I've had no motion blur so far. Using the flash in Program mode would reduce blur.

Yes, after contacting Sumsung CS, (1-800-samsung), I upgraded to firmware 2004 (as of Nov 14, 2007), still see motion blur for fast-moving balls, very dissapointing so far, the 120 Hz seems too much hype

The refresh rate. For TVs, the refresh rate means nothing. A high refresh rate TV does not guarantee it to be motion blur free. Even for console gaming, there is no advantage to a 120Hz+ TV because the console video games are capped at 60 fps anyway.

No! I have had the tv for a little over a year and I'm a big gamer, I used to play lots of cod daily and if you play a game like that, every little thing matters. Point is, the tv was beyond beautiful , although I do recommend if you get it, go into the tv settings menu and adjust the sharpness to 100% and the color to 100% , for the best experience.

Yes we bought this TV for my son for Christmas for gaming purposes and it looks terrible. We are going to have a tech savvy friend of ours come over to the house to see if he can successfully adjust it.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no input lag concerns for plasma televisions. Burn in was a common concern in the past, but that no longer remains an issue. I game on a plasma and whenever I have any ghosting on my screen, all I have to do is change the channel (or input) and it immediately goes away.Hope this helps.S.L. Madden

Look into Sony's Motionflow technology. I only use my HDTV for gaming and computer. But the refresh rate is not an issue for gaming at all, no motion blur what-so-ever. I have a 120Hz 55" HDTV, if you ask me this 60Hz HDTV seems better on the motion blur then my 120Hz. But I can only speak from a gaming perspective, seeing that I only use this particular HDTV for gaming.

That's actually what I use it for most. Games like Battlefield, Call Of Duty, Titanfall, the games with which you would notice lag the most, and I can honestly tell you I do not notice any lag. I know the lag that reviewers are speaking of when it comes to games, I also have a slightly older 50" JVC LED on which you can definitely notice lag time between control input and on-screen movement.

yeah dont get this tv my friends has it. the problem with it is fuzzy picture. i did a comparison with my own 1080p Lns-4095d samsung tv. Even though my tv is relatively older it didnt have fuzzy pic. Also note that both were using hdmi cable. however the LN-T5265F did not want to swtich to a 1080p resolution. everytime we did it got static. also note that all tests were done using a ps3. I recommned a Samsung however not this one.

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? :/

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.
