How is this set for gaming? More specifically next gen systems. Any sort of banding issues or crescents?

I purchased mine specifically for gaming with PS3 and PS4, although I secondarily use it for movies as well. I could not be more pleased. I have not noticed any problems of any kind (so no banding or crescents that I've ever seen). I recently played a stealth game which naturally lives in the shadows. The dark rendering of this environment was fantastic. On the flip side, I've also played Knack which is full of very vivid colors. There are also a great deal of configuration options to get the look that you want.

I'm playing Skyrim on it right now. Runs at pretty much full res with no problems or lag. I've also played Far Cry 3 at full settings on it with no problems.

I have used it for gaming a little bit (mainly playing Elder Scrolls IV) and have had no issues. Compared to a TN panel this IPS monitor looks very nice.

The fans get pretty loud when gaming. They must be doing their job because I have not had an overheat problem yet. I wear head phones most of the time so the fan noise is no problem. I usually play with every thing maxed out as much as possible with no problems yet. The only thing I would recommend is get an MSI with a larger SSD than 128 Gig, it fills up very fast with todays games and it would be worth it. That is the only thing I wish I had done, other than that this thing is awesome.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

I love it for gaming. The refresh rate might be too much for really fast games, but I have no problems with CS:GO. All my games look amazing with very lush colors and good range when it comes to blacks and whites. It's perfect if you plan for multi-monitor situations like eyefinity too.

I think it's geared for that, 2ms and 1080p. I've been playing Bioshock Infinite since I woke up around 7am (now 9pm). Looks great. :)

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.

Thanks for the response BryanWhat about xbox gaming. Since the 450 is only 720P how would xbox games that are formatted in HD look? Would I loose image quality since this is not a 1080P?thanks

I'm not a huge gamer, but I've played games like GTA V and COD. I notice no lag at all when using either 2D or 3D modes. In fact, the games look and feel great. I had to change some settings and modes on the projector to get the colors/darkness settings right. Once I did, games and movies all look simply fantastic.

seems fine but when looking at computer there is lag to record but that's no issue. Just can't play off computer screen, only TV. Make sure you have good internet for last gen consoles because when putting video output to 1080p it is good but console connection for multi-player can cause lag because of that end.

It's only a fair gaming machine. While the processor is powerful, it's slow by today's standards. I think you would be frustrated with the games your are looking at.

I have not noticed any problems. Set is very solid for the money. No regrets

I've been using this monitor since last November and I haven't had any problems with gaming. I am not, however, extremely sensitive to ghosting, lag or color reproduction, and I have not noticed anything like that. I do not play a lot of FPS - mostly Skyrim. Hope that helps some.

Yes the only problem I had with it was a little bit of sag but it looks cool what I did to fix the sag was ziptie one of the power cables to the 5.25 drive bays an if curious bf4 runs well with a good internet connection on ultra at 50 fps minimum only bad rumor I've heard is bad thermalpaste but I didn't get that problem :D

Some people say there is input lag and ghosting but I do not see any. Works great for me. You need a LOT of GPU for it though. I use SLI 470's and they are starting to show their age already at 2560x1600.

This should be good for gaming. With good signal strength and once it connects it stays connect (at 2.4 gHz). The 5gHz connection is terrible for this card.
