Samsung LN40B550 good for ps3? Just wondering if the LN40b550 would be a great gaming tv?

I've watched several DVDs and Blu-rays on my ln40b550 as well as played games on the 360, wii and PS3. I've even hooked my computer up to it via VGA and played some PC titles. It looks absolutely fantastic. I've seen details in games that I never noticed on my 34" LG that this set replaced. Also, text on this set is incredibly sharp and crystal clear, which is another plus for gaming.

We really love the Samsung brand. This is our 3rd Samsung tv. The picture has been amazing and the energy consumption of this Samsung TV is pretty low. It has decent apps for a smart tv. We have had the tv for about a month now and are happy with our purchase. I dont have experience with the Sony TVs; so I really can't speak to that brand.

Game consoles look amazing on these TV's. Upscaling will only do so much but the TV will respond to the resolution and format that the console is displaying. The gaming experience on a 55" screen is breathtaking and beyond thrilling

I have the 55 inch 8000, if you don't like it you probably wouldn't like any TV. Go see it at a retailer and play a little.

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.

A 55 inch SONY will be a much better TV, especially in quality. See: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-XBR55X850B-55-Inch-Ultra-120Hz/dp/B00J58F0IA/

This TV is great. I have mine wired so it didn't matter so much. The guy at the store said I needed a Samsung wireless dongle to make it wireless - so I avoided the extra cost. I found the Samsung support site very good - open up a chat window and ask them directly.I regret not dropping a few hundred bucks more for the 55" version.

No HDMI port, I would recommend a small TV for PS3 gaming, not a computer monitor.

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.

No please do not buy that tv. I bought two of them and NONE are working. One worked for about one month and the other for about one year. Spend the extra money and buy a Samsung or Sony

I've only ever played EA sports football and basketball games on ps3 on it. It drops back down to 720 even with the hdmi cable. The sound is amazing, the picture is better than most, but I won't tell you it's the best I've seen. 8 out of 10.

Hmm, I've a PS3 and an Xbox, and none of them have any issues with this TV. I've seen 300 on this TV and noticed no such flaws (of course, I'm still not over the euphoria of going HD!), but in all fairness that was the HD-DVD version, so we can't rule out encoding issues on the Blu-Ray side.

I just bought my first HDTV - the Samsung LN37A550, for playing regular movies and my Xbox 360. I did a lot of research before making the commitment, and I decided on this Samsung because of the size (not too big for my living room), the price (just over $1,000 is a great deal) and the features (HDMI hookups, 1080p). Your PS3 outputs games at 1080p, so you should definitely look for that feature to get the most out of it - the PS3 will also play blu-ray movies at 1080p and upconvert regular movies to 1080p over HDMI cables. Look for a set that has a high contrast ratio (the higher the number the more colors will look vibrant and the blacks look darker) and a fast response time (in this case the lower the number the faster, so that games and fast action sequences appear smooth). Most importantly (I think) pick a size that seems right for the room in which you will use it. There's no point dropping $$$$ on a huge TV if you have a small room - HDTV is so much sharper than regular TV, you won't need a massive set to see the benefits. For a bedroom, consider getting something either 32" or 37". Check out the Sharp LC32D64U, the Sharp LC37D62U or the Samsung LN37A550 (the one I ended up buying) for some good models at this size range. Good luck!

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.

Mine works great with the PS3 on COD games. Lots of hours of experience, no TV troubles, big and bad in all the right ways.

Hm. Lg support blows big time. Try turning the TV on, and plugging in the ethernet cable, and get a update if you can. Then reconfigure your 47" 3D TV correctly on to your PS3. Choosing the right size, and 3d, resolutions. I played assassins creed in 3d the whole time. Loved it.

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.
