There are some important things to know for both lag and PC connections with this TV - I have it and I work in the industry and will say this TV is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST DEALS available... but only if you know enough to enable them. So, first off, the simple one - want the lag gone? Set the TV mode to "PC." Also, on some firmwares, it will be much easier/better to set it to "Mode 2" (in the other menu options - not the display options.. it might be called HDMI mode 2, I forget...) Anyway, so the thing about this tv is that it actually supports 4k60 4:4:4 from a PC. What this means is that it will look every bit as sharp as a monitor does, providing your TV can output the right resolution. HOWEVER, the caveat is that you will need to force an EDID from your computer to the TV. Most people don't even know what an EDID is, but basically it is a file on every display that you connect that says "Hey, these are my available resolutions." In those resolutions is an option (at least from my Nvidia card) to run in RGB mode. This is IMPORTANT. Running in RGB will give you a 1:1 pixel mapping at 4k with 60hz refresh rate. If you try and do this in standard hdmi/non-rgb mode, you're going to be limited to 30hz, which is garbage. Now, I did have this enabled without forcing the EDID at one point, but then I setup Chromecase/connected ti wi-fi and the Television did a firmware update, which removed the RGB option... So, what to do? You gotta find an EDID (HDFury's site has plenty) that supports all resolutions. Then, you need to use CRU (Custom Resolution Utility, or something like that - it's free) to force that EDID to the video card. Reboot, and then you will be able to choose 2160px60hz, AND RGB mode. If you haven't seen the difference between this and the garbage 4:2:2 2160p mode, you will DEFINITELY be shocked at how great this TV can look. Also, turn your sharpness setting all the way down - that's a given on almost any TV, as the sharpness setting is merely post-processing that ruins your source image. Anyway, I'm not going into more detail than this.. but I will say that once you force the EDID, many resolutions will be availablie and you should NOT try any other ones that you don't know are supported, as they can mess up the TV. You've been warned. For those that follow this, you will be rewarded with a 2160p monitor @ 60hz that looks every bit as good as one costing 5 times the price.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've been gaming on this TV a bit with both PS3, PS4 and XB1. The picture is great, response time is great. I also PC game and setup my pc to the tv but there is a major lag (it could have been because I was using a HDMI input). I didn't want to pursue it much further as it was really just a test to see how it would respond. I will probably try it again later but for consoles, it's pretty solid.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I game on this with an Xbox One S so it upscales the games to 4K and it looks so clear. Highly recommend
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No good for gaming in upscaled 4k. The processor in the tv is too slow and you will have 1/4 to 1/2 second controller input lag. Works well on 1080p though!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
