I'm currently gaming on a LG 50" plasma,and have been told that buying one of these gaming monitors will improve my response time. Is it worth doing?

I play on a 60 inch 3d led, when I moved to my 22 inch monitor my game improved by double. K/D is climbing everyday in COD now. The monitor i have is a 5ms response, I am thinking about this one. In my opinion it is worth it if you plan on going pro. If not, i don't think you need it unless you have money to burn.

Hi George. I'm not an expert on monitors, but I just had my tech guy install the LG monitor on the wall behind my desk, and once I figured out how to set it up to its native resolution, it looked great. My tech guy didn't address the issue of whether it was a true monitor or a TV, but I've been very happy with it so far.

I use these for coin operated video games, regarding using them for gaming, it depends onthe type of gaming, today most gaming platforms use touchscreen technology, so if you want to use these monitors for that type of gaming machine, the short answer is no.

I am using it as a monitor. I had the previous generation model used as the same. Neither is gaming, so I can't respond to that, but as a big screen monitor with built-in speakers, it works great.

Just out of curiosity what do you consider to be high response times? I use this with my 360 all the times and have not really noticed anything out of the ordinary. The thing I really don't like about this LCD is the overscan issue, which is noticeable with games. Do you have that with your DLP?

LG doesn't release the official input latency for their projectors, but I have been gaming on mine and it's fantastic. I'm very sensitive to imput lag and I can say this projector works great when putting it into game mode.

I will support Plasma's for most things but monitor is much safer to go with a LCD. Viera Cast does have screen savesr though to prevent burn-in for pandora, youtube, or whatever else is on there. If you use it just for Viera Cast internet, you should be fine. And gaming is safe if you mix up the game and keep contrast at 50.

Depends on the type of gaming. The 5-6ms response time isnt great for FPS or games with a lot of things moving on the screen very quickly, you will notice ghosting. I run 2 of them in a triple screen setup though, with the 2 GW2450's on the outside. I bought a much faster 2ms BenQ for the center monitor and I dont notice any ghosting anywhere. Partly because I dont focus on the side screens because they serve as peripheral viewing but Id say in general, yes. For best results? No.

I don't game, but I would assume these monitors are not great for gaming. They are relatively low resolution, 1440x900 rather than an HD monitor at 1920x1080. Their refresh rate is only 60Hz and I think most gaming monitors are more around 120Hz? Both of mine came with a standard VGA cable, but the monitors also accept DVI-D input.

Honestly haven't used for gaming. I would recommend tv with higher refresh rate for gaming. Vizio has launched a new series with 240hz refresh rate and you should check that out.

I don't game, but I do watch sports, and I bought a plasma because it has a fast response time. No problem watching sports, even ice hockey.

I got an e-mail about this, so I'm not sure if you meant to contact me directly or what. But anyway, I am happy with the monitor, but I am not using it for a ps3 or any other game console, so I am not sure how well it would work for you. Good luck.

I use it for gaming. I have played Tribes Ascend, Trine 2, Starcraft 2, and the latest Elder Scrolls game. It is great. Folks have said that there is an input delay, but I don't really notice it. It is amazing. Make the jump. You will not regret it.I would highly recommend pairing it up with a adjustable desk mount (Ergotronics). I use SLI 460s and have not had any issues so far.

I got good service when I returned mine because it wasn't as good as my current monitor.If you're on a tight budget I guess it may work. For me the difference was too significant to keep it. I was amazed because it was lauded as a great monitor, but when I got it, I was very disappointed

I cannot compare as I do not own both. But I do have the View Sonic and the LG, and both displays have excellent color accuracy when delivered and used on the DVI port using native resolution. The big rub is that the as delivered brightness is so high as to cause significant eye strain if used more than 1 1/2 hours. If you reduce the brightness, you will not get the advertised Dynamic Contrast Ratio. In addition the as delivered brightness causes a non acceptable light bleed around 1 or more edges. All of the above are to be expected on these LED backlit, IPS, WQHD displays, and getting one acceptable to you is a matter of luck and original engineering design tradeoffs. These displays are at least 2 or 3 times better than the old 1920 x 1080 displays. Good Luck.

I'm not a big gamer but play Forza now and then, it works fine for me. Search for displaylag, it's a list of the best tv's and monitors for gaming, the rating on the this tv is "okay" @ 56ms.
