I haven't hooked up my PC or laptop to it, but I have my PS3 connected to it. Without knowing all the technical jargon, in my opinion, I think it works great and the picture quality is great! I usually use my PS3 for Madden and Black Ops 2, and I have no complaints about it whatsoever.

I have used it for PS3 and it looks great. Madden 13 looked amazing on it. I have not hooked up a computer to it

My son had his XBox360 hooked up to it and was blown away by it. We have hooked to PC up to it, but only to watch live feed we had very good results. Honestly, I can find nothing wrong with this TV at all.

I hooked up my PC, picture is great, basically i use it as a monitor, because i have cable box, dvd, sound surround system and PC, everything connected with HDMI cables. I have no complains. Good luck!

I use my PS3 with this TV, I don't notice any input lag. It's a great gaming TV in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

It's an HD TV so picture is excellent. Alittle crapy on the sound though. But on my gaming system I use thearther sound system so for me it's not a problem. Apt from HDMI, it has audio video, component, USB and RF ports. So you can connect to just about anything. Hope this answers your questions.

my westington house display is messing up. the ps3 hdmi handshake is all messed up but my westington house display also has a vga port if i connect this cable to my ps3 (hdmi device) to the display via VGA (1080p) device will it in turn be like connecting a normal hdmi to and hdmi setup. i just want to watch and play ps3 on my 1080p display in 1080p. im pretty sure im reading the description of the cable right but just want to be sure.P.S. dont buy westington displays cheap price for a bad product.

Hey man. Yeah I bought it for gaming. It's freaking awesome man, it works perfectly and has been the best piece of equipment i've owned yet. I bought it to finish my $1,200 gaming computer setup. I highly recommend this monitor.

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.

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.

If the ps3 is hooked through a HDMI cable, youre gonna have to hook it up through another way. Its basically built through component cables but i would still recommend buying it. It is worth every penny. You can look through YouTube to get an eazy tutorial to do it that way.

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.

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.

Does anybody have a good video for instructions on how to set it up and get it to work. I found out how to set it up but when i turn elgato on the ps3 either is not recognized or tv screen goes blank

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

I've used it with a PS3 and a PS4 and I'me very pleased with the image quality, latency etc..2 things to not are that this TV, like most modern sets, has a game mode that you should use. I'm assuming that this helps with lag issues. The other thing is that the speakers on this tv are fine but not great. if you like enjoying the sound in your games as much as the graphics you'd be served well by getting a soundbar or a more involved speaker setup.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Yes. I wont tell you its the best tv on the market for gaming out there but for what it is it displays superb picture quality at 120 frames per second i personally think 240 frames is to much everything looks like a soap opera the 120 gets the job done with no image lag or frame rate drops i played blackops 2 for hours on end an it ran perfectly fine and for the money you cant beat it its a all around good tv...

You can hook it with everything that has an HDMI cable.you can watch movies, play games and even browse your laptop.but you should know that you must adjust it on your head with the lens, the stripes on the back of your head.it may take some time , but trust me , when it's done it will blow your mind!About the view... it's like you're in a theater alone and watching a huge screen.you'll feel like it's 5-7 meters away. Now after I bought it I NEVER hooked my Playstation 3 on a TV.
