Question

which TV is best for gaming?

Dec 25, 2013 8:21AM PST

I am torn between the lg47la620v & thelg47la660v.
The first has a lower refresh rate but is back lit.
The other has a higher refresh rate but is side lite.
I want to game using my PS3 and\or PC and am most excited by 2d to 3d conversion. In the sales there is only £30 difference in price!
Which should I buy????

Sorry but refresh rate?
Dec 25, 2013 8:27AM PST

Almost all these have fixed input rates of 60Hz. Are you thinking something else?

The reason I ask is that some folk want to take makers to court since a 120Hz HDTV is still 60Hz input rate. The panel rate is 120Hz, true but gamers are a fickle lot and don't want to discuss this.

-> In short, forget the refresh rate. It's fixed. Look for reviews about -> INPUT LAG <-

Thanks for the reply. Input lag is my biggest concern but I can't find any review that relate to input lag for the 660v.
The 620v is supposed to be fine on gaming mode but I can't compare without both so was hoping for some advice from people that know better.
Any thoughts?
