Not for gaming
on December 1, 2016
Posted by: Shammy
I bought this on Black Friday for the $250 price, but now I'm regretting it. It has terrible input lag, from my PS2 through a component cable. It takes half a second for the on-screen character to respond to my controller button pushing, rendering games unplayable. By comparison, my old CRT was instantaneous!
Contrary to what another reviewer said, there is no, I repeat, NO Game Mode. Under "P. Mode", there are only 4 modes available: Dynamic/Movie/Standard/User. I tried turning off video processing such as DLC, MEMC, etc. but they did not make a difference in input lag. It was very frustrating.
After checking with other coworkers who are gamers, they all choose Samsung or LG, and say they made sure there is a Game Mode. Well, I did not do my research, and now I learned my lesson.
My Best Buy number: 4249485246
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

5 Stars for value

I purchased this TV on thanksgiving as a secondary TV for our guest room, and garage in the summer time. I ran it through a few tests...4k, sports, and gaming with the pre set picture settings - I am very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this set. I am comparing everything to my mid range 4K Sony X810C set, which I am very happy with.
4K looks great on this set, with very little motion blur. There is no HDR on this set, but the colors are still great.
Sports look pretty solid, there is a little blur during fast paced moments, but nothing that would bother a casual TV watcher. The fields are uniform in color, which is a big deal. It performs well with gaming in "game mode", my PS4 Pro is well represented on this set. I haven't fired up any shooters yet, but all my sports games play very well.
The Smart features are barely smart, you get your preset apps and that is it. You cannot add any additional apps. It has the majors like Netflix and YouTube.
Lastly, the sound is garbage. Plan on having an additional audio source. Luckily sound bars are cheap now, and you can even hook this up to a small bookshelf audio system.
All in all, this TV is a FANTASTIC value at anything under $449. It goes toe to toe with my Sony, which is quite a feat with a value set. I would buy again and again!

Where is Game Mode?
January 3, 2017
Thank you for leaving a comment on my review. A few other reviewers also mentioned the existence of Game Mode, but after flipping through the menu and consulting the user manual, I still could not find it. Is it under the HDMI settings? My PS2 only has the analog output (composite or component), and that's the only input port I used.
Even though I have already returned the TV, please still let me know, just for knowledge sake. If I was mistaken, I will ask Best Buy to remove my review.

Can you change modes like cinima and game mode?

There are 4 preset modes under "P. Mode": Dynamic/ Movie/ Standard/ User. But no, there is no Game Mode.
