the interface is one of the most discerning qualities. the multitasking it can do is quite amazing. now its yet fully polished but it works well. im sure they will continue to update it. for you sports and gaming fans. if you have it hooked up to your cable box you can "snap" tv on the side bar while the game loads. switching from tv to game is so easy. when you skype the camera tracks you and keeps you in focus even if you are moving around. the console im sure has more things to offer but so far ive been inundated with Forza.

Plasmas are done don't even bother and lcd is soon to follow but still has some time left. LED is nicer and from what I have seen. check cnet for some nice reviews and of course spend a nice bit of time in bestbuy checking them out but check the lighting, settings and placement (viewing angle) of how the have them. Lots of times they will set the settings to shit or place it in matter that will look better than what it really is. In any case my brand of choice has been Samsung since they always include a generous amount of connectivity and have been reliable as hell for me.
In terms of gaming systems I am waiting till price drops. I cannot justify wasting money on a buggy item that while definitely drop in price within a year. Then again.. I am not a huge gamer.

But if you do go led/lcd samsung is my top choice.

My buddy used to play on a monitor and he also recommended I do the same for fps but I don't want to buy a monitor for just gaming, I need a TV.
Is there any brand tv you recommend that would be just as good or close to as one of the monitors mentioned in the link?
Also, I read somewhere that plasma Tv's are better for gaming over led tv's. It's kinda hard to decide which type to go with but I do know I'm gonna purchase it from best buy, if it doesn't perform well I'm returning that b*tch lol
I was told, samsung and Lg are the best Tv's to go with

But i would suggest Plasma for a gamer.

Either TV is amazing. I use a 55" Panasonic plasma myself. Hvnt seen too many LED/LCDs under $2000 that even touch the picture quality, FPS, and color levels. LED/LCDs are usually over saturated & do not have true blacks & shadow detail like plasmas.

^ I almost had a seizure reading that lol. I think I'm just gonna buy a samsung f5000 in 32" and call it a day. It's a tv for my bedroom so I don't wanna go nuts. I'm not a serious gamer but I do play here and there. I also watch sports, tv shows, and like long walks at beach...
But seriously 32" Samsung f5000 should be good enough (I hope).
So did anyone buy the ps4 yet? So far we heard mixed reviews on the xb1, am I right? Is it better to wait or hurry up and switch over?

Yeah bro to be honest the 600hz vs 120 or 240hz is minimal if you ask me. It's just one of those topics that hard chore fanboys will go nuts for. Best bet is to just go and stare at a few screens in person. If you can personally tell the difference and it bothers you then go for it. I am very picky when it comes to audio but not video. Some good quality stuff can't do you wrong. It terms of size you should consider looking into the distance of viewing. Going big isn't always better if you are going to be 2 feet away from the screen. LOL
this should help but it's not law because everyone has their own personal preferences ... distance and size guide
In my living room I am about 6' to 7' away and I have a 42". According to the link they recommend a 47" @ 6' and 52" @ 7' away. I bet it would be nice but I can live with the 42" just fine with no complaints. You know I am a huge football fan and it looks great. I also spend a lot of time watching motorcycle racing and light gaming. All good with my setup.
Everyone I know that is remotely into games is waiting for the ps4. I did read that so far the ps4 is slightly edging out the xbox FOR NOW.

I just saw a sony KDL-32" tv 1080p with 120hz that's supposed to have low input lag and I believe it's a smart tv with blah blah blah for $650, that's $300 more than the samsung I was thinking of buying. By the time I figure out what tv I want it'll be Xmas.
I hope someone from metro post on this thread regarding their ps4. I think my gf is buying it for me for Xmas :0l

it largely depends on what games you like to play. i think that should be the deciding factor. without the fanboy hatorade that spews on the forums. buy something that gives you what you like.
On another note I have just been inundated with tuning the s2k for Laguna Seca in forza. its consuming so much time.
