Question: How is this TV for gaming? The input lag is my main concern. Is there a game mode? Can anyone whose gamed on it shed some light? Thanks!
Document: The picture is clear and colors are good (although black is sometimes a bit light for my tastes). For a gaming TV this plasma works well. The colors are rich and the speed of the TV makes the gaming smooth.For the price of this TV and the size of the TV, it is a very good value. LG has put together a very nice TV at a very attractive price point and that combination make it a very compelling option.
Since it seems to recognize the HDMI connections I would have expected it to know that nothing was connected to the coax input. Oh well. And it would be nice to have more than the 2 HDMI connections but it's not that big of a deal to get a switcher to add more inputs. My final critique is just a general issue with any plasma tv - any light source that is opposite the tv will reflect in the picture. In our case we have a huge picture window that reflects.
There are easy option settings for picture, audio, channel, and input. There are enough settings available to fine-tune the picture to your desire. Out of the box the picture is not that great and will require time to experiment with settings to get it to the way you will like it. The "eco" mode that is default picture settings is designed to save energy but it makes the picture too dark.
Don't get me wrong, this is a big-screen HD monster and was very affordable, but it's my first HD TV and I thought the images would be crisper. Maybe I just need to get a Blu-Ray player to take it to the next level.Also only has one set of input jacks for standard cables, so my low-fi DVD player is plugged into that.
I bought this as a second TV for another room in our house. My main TV is a 58" Samsung Plasma That I purchased a few years ago for a lot more money than this one.One of the things I wanted in a new TV was Wi-Fi, but I didn't want to pay a lot of money.
Be patient with this process, for any TV, as it can take some time to find the right settings that work for you. I'm still adjusting mine to bring the picture to my preferred look. I am using this TV mostly for video gaming, Apple TV movies, and over the air digital TV. I don't have my satellite hooked up to this TV. The over the air digital TV looks good when on the HD channels, the non-HD channels look good enough.
And I will seek to get the TV fixed under warranty and if not successful I may even buy the same again to see if my luck changes. See, in the end this TV game is all about taking chances anyway, and for me the less costly chances are the better risk.
The sound isn't stereo quality but for a thin TV the voice can be heard and that is a plus. Other flat screen TV's I have had it is difficult to hear the person talk so I had to buy a sound bar. For what I use this TV for I don't think a sound bar is needed. If this is your main TV additional sound might be needed but for every day use it is adequate.Con-1.
I have to say, after a few tweaks to the picture settings, this TV produces a very beautiful, crisp picture! I love it almost as much as my main TV and have spent quite a bit of time watching TV and movies on this over my other.The only minor problem I have with this TV is that it has a glossy finish and not a matted finish. This is something I missed while searching for a TV, so I'm not taking points off of the review.
This TV 1st came to my home via UPS and I found that it was broken.. Zmazon fixed that and resent one via FedEx. After getting it we had mounted it on the wall and tested it.. Picture is excellent, sound is great, functions are dynamic. Exploring the TVs capabilities is always great! It's performance without an hdmi cable alone is impeccable. I'm a happy LG owner thanks to amazons competitive price and free shipping!
Answer: 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
