Yes. I play Black Ops regularly on this television and it is tremendous. Not one freeze or issue yet. And yes you can hook a PC to it.

I just purchased a 46" XBR4 and have a ps3/xbox360. My parents have a 52" W 3000. I have played my systems on both of these tvs and they both look amazing. Both of these tvs can handle the ps3 and xbox360. In my opinion you can't go wrong with either one.

I have the 47" and I love it. The stock speakers are very loud, and the visual quality is great. Being an LED, it looks really good even in a bright room, although if it's behind a window you'll still have to worry about glare. I was annoyed with how it makes shows and movies look with the Motion Blur, but you can easily turn that off; it does help make games look better though so I turn it back on for gaming.

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

Slight. Yes, Im that guy using a ps2 with monster component cables. There is a microscopic lag, but not enough to worry about. Even fast fighing games, Doa ran great, as did other twitch games. Games look better if they are 480p, but 480i (most ps2 games) is acceptable. Im playing Final Fantasy 12 on this tv(480i) and it looks great.

Thanks, Tolik - you helped me decide- upgradability and the game modes are big things. The Samsung seemed to have more power but I've learned you can't really rely on what they say the wattage is. I haven't owned enough Samsung equipment in the past to know what to expect - the TV is great but a sound system is another story.Mark - thanks for the CD info - for some reason I thought I'd get even better sound with a dedicated player ... if you can give me the model # on the Kenwood I might be interested (with over 400 CDS, a changer is sweet.).Don

UPDATE: I was able to get in touch with a Vizio rep with some detailed info. He stated that the first round of shipments to Amazon have been completed and that they have them in stock. He said that Vizio will give them the green light to go live very shortly....no later than the middle of August. He confirmed the demand is extremely high for the 553....can't wait. I have the TV stand ready/Blu-Ray player ready and DirecTV on speed dial.

I believe in Game Mode it's 17ms of lag which is one of, if not the lowest input lag delay for any television on the market over 40". I bought this TV for video games specifically (I play tournament level fighting games such as Street Fighter, where every frame is important) and works like a dream. If input lag is your primary concern and gaming is the reason for purchasing, DO IT. You will not regret it. The TV is sexy as hell.

I'm going to buy one in about 15 minutes myself. I've seen prices around $340-$350 elsewhere online, but Amazon seems to have the best deal at this time.So, good luck with yours. I hope I dont' get any of the buzzing (seems due to PS3, etc) or heat issues.This unit seems to be the sweet spot for us mid-range users with high expectations. This is my wife's Christmas present for me :=)Tony

I too have a VIZIO 55 LED and was disappointed with the tonal qualities. I had an old subwoofer from a previous Sony TV which I hooked into the audio outputs. Set audio output to variable and it adds just enough bass to make it sound good.

Good info, totally makes sense. Im excited for the 3D and all that but I am also looking forward to the 240Hz in 24" and at the price as there is currently nothing like that now. Will probabaly have to use a different Blu-Ray player for movies to have that smooth look to them as I don't think the PS3 can play movies past 60Hz. Still curious how it looks. I personally like smaller HD screens and am curious how it will look.

Well, I only have the 32 inch model (bought it a few weeks ago) and have to say I really like it. I only use it for TV watching so not sure how it would look with high-end games. Have to say that I watched "Avatar" the other day and it looked crisp, vibrant, sharp on the 32-incher.
