Don't research video game performance for HDTV brehs
Honestly when i bought mt TVs i just looked at the reviews and got the two better of the reviewed models last year. i wanted a 47 and 55 inch HX850 from Sony but only got the 47. i guess this LG 55LM7600 was actually better for gaming. i play alot on that Sony and i haven't noticed any issues.

the thing i like about these TVs is if i put it on game mode on a certain input the TVs remember that HDMI should always be on that mode but the other HDMIs independently remember their modes too.




I thought it was just me. I just bought me a new LG 40' and can't play 2k on it
what model is it? if you don't but something that's a flagship model or close to it you might just have a garbage TV. if your TV doesn't have a 240Hz on the box and come with included 3D these days its probably a junk model. the entry level 240Hz model is usually 2 models away from the flagship and is a decent buy. its like buying an Android phone that's not a flagship.

Your TV should have a game mode, set it to that to fix your problem

I made a thread about this yesterday: http://www.thecoli.com/threads/check-displaylag-com-before-you-buy-a-new-tv-or-monitor.132010/

The TV I posted about doesn't get much better even if you turn the game mode or the PC mode on, and you turn all the other stuff off. The "smooth motion" 120hz setting doesn't even turn itself completely off even though it says it does. That TV is trash for gaming, and other TVs might be like that too. You gotta do your research in different places before copping a new TV these days.

i switched it to cinema and i get the best response time



i can now play 2k pretty descent now...all my shots are falling even online with the added lag there.
