LG 42LV5500 is this a good gaming tv?

For gaming, get a 42" plasma by panasonic, its the smallest they make, with a 15.8 GBps or greater transfer rate HDMI cable. Panasonic bought Pioneer's panel technology when they went out of business. Plasmas don't have that screen burn issue any more either. Plasmas have 0.00001ms or something like that pixel response, and true 600hz refresh rate. (600 pictures per second). The problem with 240hz and 120hz tv's is its all picture processing and creates a fair amount of input lag and unnatural movement. LCD's are terrible for gaming, no matter what the refresh rate or pixel response time. If you want a small screen, benefit would be a very sharp picture and less money, get a Samsung 2770FH monitor, its a 27", with a 10.2 GBps transfer rate HDMI cable, and be sure to set the response time setting to fastest. They are a 1ms pixel response time monitor, 60hz which is ps3's native output refresh rate, and the reason pixel response is important is because the lower the response time, the sharper the picture stays. Get internet that is at least 1 mega byte download speed, and always set whatever screen you get to game mode.

Are Magnavox LCD tv's good for gaming?

I read an article that said gamer lag (not motion blur) was often caused by having a native 720 television but setting your game system to output 1080. Or having a 1080 television but setting your game system to 720.

I suspect the cheaper models (and cheaper brands) use slower, less expensive chips and this causes lag even if you properly match the game system to the TV internal resolution.

Magnavox, Insignia, Dynex, Robi, Westinghouse, Philips, Viore - etc., are all bottom barrel brands. I suspect most of the models use budget chip sets and will show some lag.

You may be too young to remember but when the IBM PC came out - the number one test of a 'clone' was to see if the clone computer could play Microsoft Flight Simulator. Video games are one of the most difficult things for a computer to play. Video games - are one of the most difficult things for a HDTV to display as well.

If you are going to do the most difficult thing possible on a HDTV - then you buy the cheapest make and model in the catalog - you are probably going to have problems. They do not seem to review televisions for 'gamer lag'.

Try this: go buy the latest issue of Consumer Reports. They list their best-of-the-year for a bunch of products and chances are the better performing models (or any of the models that made their top 30 list) will probably not have much problems with video games. My theory is that the better performing models probably have the better chips.

Personally - my gaming TV is a 40" Samsung DLP I bought used from Craigslist for $250. No motion blur, no lag, no burn-in. You might check your Craigslist for someone selling off an older, but higher end television.

Plasma would be a better choice for gaming over LCD. LCD suffers motion-blur problems with fast moving objects so they added 120 hz refresh to reduce, but not remove, the problem.

Hope this helps.

Is the Panasonic TH-50PX75U a good gaming TV?

It is the plasma not the lcd, so it does not need the respond time but plasma is good for gaming and movie. The only thing u must remember is not to pause a game and lift it on one picture for more than 15 minutes.

Are Insignia LED TVs good for gaming?

I want to buy a new TV for playing my 360, PS3, and Wii U. There is a 42" LED TV by Insignia at Bestbuy for about $450. Are these TVs good? Would this one in particular be good for HD gaming? It's also 120hz by the way. Thanks.
