For most players, yes, the Formovie Theater will perform as well for gaming as it does for watching shows and movies. However, its input lag is a smidge high for serious or competitive players, at around 34ms even with its Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and can measure as high as 42ms depending on your picutre settings. It ultimately depends on the type of games you play and how sensitive you are to lag while gaming. More casual players may not notice the lag at all, especially those who mostly play more slow-paced puzzle games or RPGs, but it may be frustrating for fast-paced games that require quick reflexes.
