Purchasing gaming tv

About to buy a new tv for the Xbox 360. Will not be a "need" purchase but I feel like I deserve a new toy. I need that last little push to know I'm making a smart decision. What do you guys think? 60 in samsung led 1097.99

I think 60" would be too big especially since I sit close to my TV and it's 46". But to each his own.

I don't see how people game on such a large TV. I play on 32" even though I have a bigger TV and my PC monitors are 24". Anything bigger than that seems like too much IMO.

That's a lot of real estate to keep up with especially on FPS, but everyone is different.

I play on a 42" Vizio and love it

I tried playing on a Samsung 55" Smart TV. Don't get me wrong, the picture is outrageous, but I was nearly concussed trying to keep up with the size playing MW3 and BLOPS 2. For Madden, GTA, FIFA it's a joy. FPS games are the worst on large TV's though

Are LED's bad for gaming? I love how movies and games look on it, but it seems like they may lag more on an LED? Friend can play CoD on his smooth as hell, but when he plays BF3 you can notice it lags a bit.
I'm on a 42" LCD

i dont know your situation, but if you are buying a television just for gaming there a few things you need to take in to consideration.
First if you are a fps online gamer that tv is absolutely terrible for what you.
If your into games like assassins creed or madden then that tv would be great for you.
Online shooters such as cod are not good to play on that type of tv because of response rate.
smaller less expensive lcd tvs or lcd monitors are much better for online shooters.
i bought a $2000 Panosonic plasma top of the line about six months ago for gamings. i played on it one day and it was almost unplayable. i did a little research and found out about response times, and it turns out the better the tv the longer the response time it has.

just mounted a 42" plasma in my office a few weeks ago, its for gaming

yeah, if you're going hardcore and it's strictly for gaming then get a 24-27 PC monitor. 2 legit 2 quit.

From what you play, a Samsung LED is one of the top of the line TVs that are out there and would do fine. You can turn off things like the motion enhancer among other settings that will help limit the LEDs lag.
I'm guessing you will have a bluray player as well, which would alone make this TV worth it.
