Honestly i play on a 60'  Sharp LED and a 46" Sony LCD

     Both work great but with the 60' i have to put the setting on "game mode" because it seems there is a screen lag. The screen isnt as bright and the shrpness is down, but i did some research and found that high quality tvs that are big in size have a lag problem.

     Because the screen is so big and the settings are so high. But it still looks great on the 60'.

     Point being, if its just for "gaming".....you dont need a great big screen. Iv gone thru many big and small, and can promote 47 inches or less. If its for both for theatre and gaming....id go BIG or go HOME....Thats my philosophy.

     Because no tv in my life"im 30yrs old" has ever givin me the satisfaction and awe like my 60'.

A lot of people say to stay away from used tvs. I used to be one of those people until I actually looked into it. The first thing to go in a tv is almost always the backlight. So, the main fear of buying a used tv is that your backlight's lifespan has already been significantly shortened by the time you buy it. But, the average lifespan of a backlight is 60,000 hours. So basically, even if someone used it 60 hours a week (which is a LOT) it would last about 20 years. And honestly, you're probably going to replace it with something better within 5 years.

I say if you can get a better tv used, go for it.

If you buy anything over a 30" screen. Go with plasma. 600hz refresh rate, least amount of inline lag with gaming mode turned on. I am not going into a long speech on the benifits of a plasma over a LCD or LED. But trust me it is better than anything short of playing on a small computer monitor.

plasma is the way backwards lcd and led are kinda the same just led is brighter but i play on a 42 inch toshipba mcd but sometimes play on a 26 inch lcd and find the 26 inch 1 better lol
