A:Answer No lcd is good for dark room gaming , even VA panels or local dimming doesn't work right on any tv, from the best to the worse. I have had the Vizio p with the best local dimming to this. All of them have back light bleed and clouding. So if you can't afford a oled then you just gotta let it go and focus on colors. This tv is the best gaming lcd there is to be found. If you stick this tv in a pitch black room and turn on say a white symbol in the middle of the tv what you will see on stock is white clouding above the symbol and below it, and on the sides dark due to its vertical local dimming. If you shut off local dimming you will see very slight ips glow in the corners and clouding. This tv has the lowest ips glow I have seen, and I had atleast 10 others before this one. VA TV's like the Vizio m 2019 will have less clouding and better local dimming, but the colors will be unrealistic and bad, especially if you don't keep that tv in the middle of your view at all times. Also no tv I've seen has such low input lag, this tv at 1440 120hz has 6ms input.
So I guess to sum up if you want the best lcd local dimming and all you care about is if the black is not clouded then go with a Vizio. Vizio has better back light uniformity and local dimming, higher input lag, and response time.
If you want 120hz at 1080 and 1440 , best colors, good hdr , and the lowest input and response times almost up there with top end ips monitors then this is your tv.
