I have the 80" and love it! No Blur. Great Picture! When not in the 3D mode, it has depth.

I watched a Detroit Lions game and also a USC game and the jersey colors didn't look accurate but that could probably be fixed with a proper calibration as far as the blur I didn't notice any but you have to make sure you are a good distance away from the tv for it to look clear because the closer you are the more the picture clarity diminishes.

I watch all major sports and I don't have an issue with the refresh rate at all, there aren't any blurs during the games, but sometimes it happens when you watch movies on movie channels

Great TV so far. Refresh rate is 240Hz but it really isn't much difference from 120. I play Xbox One on there. Very clear so with PS4 graphics will look even better

I purchase the Sony XBR4 40" on Jan 7, 2008 from CC in New Hampshire. It was on sale at $1999 - the lowest price I've seen after the holiday. I was concerned about the "fan noise" prior to purchase based on threads I had read. And . . this TV definitely does make a low level fan noise/hum that is only noticeable when the volume is low or during prolonged quiet in a broadcast. Also, relative to the previous post, the unit is not enclosed and has excellent ventillation all around. The noise is not related to heat, it is there when the TV is on. However -is it enough to make me return it? Not yet. I have 30 days to decide if it is a real issue. The picture on this TV is nothing short of stunning. We watched the Patriots beat Jacksonville on Sat. night and then watched football again on Sunday and other programs and the "fan noise" issue was a non-issue. If I really want to hear it, I can turn down the volume and - yup - there it is. But it falls into the category of refridgerator noise, computer fan noise, new car noise, etc. (noises I don't think about anymore.) I think there is no definitive answer because some will be driven to distraction by the noise - others will forget about it quicklly and enjoy the experience.

I dont think the tv has bad motion blur at all. At least not for a LCD. As a matter of fact its the best I've ever seen. But at all LCDs have motion blur its part of the tech. But its the best at handle motion blur I've ever seen. I dont think you will even notice it. As for inout lag, i am not sensitive to tv input lag, so i cant tell.

I haven't experienced that phenomenon yet but I will be on the lookout for it game day. I am not too thrilled with the sound though. I have hooked up to the surround sound but the noise affects are much louder than the dialogue. Over all I love the picture and I think I made a solid purchase.

I have owned this tv for about 3 weeks. Picture is great, only issue is volume kicks off every so often , thought it was the high def cable box so I replaced it but get same result, I plan on exchanging tv. Has this volume problem happened to anyone else?

I wish I could give you a comprehensive answer, but I can't since I don't use the unit for gaming. The most I can say is that there's no blur or indication of unwanted motion in any of the broadcasts I have received, including the Indy 500, which may have presented a bit of a challenge in this respect. I hope you find that your Panasonic is as suitable for gaming as it is for standard usage. Good luck!

I've had the TV for almost a month now and I love my TV, I see no discrepancies whatsoever and even though it takes a while to get used to (I.e. Microphone, apps, etc.) the viewing and the screen is flawless (knock on wood ;P) hope this helps!

I don't normally watch sports on this machine. I use it as my desktop monitor because I can plug a laptop in thru the HDMI port and use both machines. Having said that, I hooked up and external HD antenna and watched the Bears lose tonight. Although I occasionally lost the screen due to thunderstorms bollixing reception, I did not notice any blurring. I then went to ESPN through my desktop and watched some of their videos. Voila, occasionally the screen blurs. I don't know whether I need a faster internet speed or whether the box is at fault. I suspect internet due to it working OK over the air. Hope this helps.

My son had his XBox360 hooked up to it and was blown away by it. We have hooked to PC up to it, but only to watch live feed we had very good results. Honestly, I can find nothing wrong with this TV at all.

As an Alabama alum, I was blown away by Monday's game. Not just by the score or AJ McCarron's girlfriend, but by how awesome the picture was. Amazing TV!

I am still trying to remember why I had to have a 120 Hz TV (52LNA850). I don't watch sports more than once a month, at most. If you're like me, you can buy a 550 television and save a great deal of money over a 650-or-higher model.

I don't know how much help I can be but I'll give it a shot. I bought the Samsung because I own a Samsung LCD 46" bought in '08. I was quite happy with that TV so I stuck with the Samsung brand. I really think the 46" has a better picture than the 65" LED. Could be because of a consequential loss of picture clarity that comes with larger screen sizes. The UN65 has a dual core processor but if you're really into "smart," I recommend the quad core (more money of course). I subscribe to NFL game replays and they won't load well (and therefore can't view) with the dual core; I have to use my quad core computer. I think the UN has a really reasonable price, but you generally get what you pay for (as the old saying goes). Bottom line . . . I like the UN65 but, at the same time, I am a little disappointed. The only way you'll ever know is to look at them side-by-side and remember, showrooms do not have real-life broadcasts (in most instances) so when you get one home, your picture may not be a great as in the showroom. Hope this helps somewhat and good luck!

Its amazing. The only problem is with the refresh rate when u r watch fast moving sports etc. Its a tad bit glitchy
