@SolidTy: I don't own the 60" W850B haha, I did mention I own a Samsung 60" F7100 but it has developed a fault and I'm currently working out a refund with Samsung. I just like to review TVs and saw that the Sony was the best gaming TV, and features the lowest input lag ever recorded for an LCD/LED TV, I wasn't comparing it to that of a Plasma screen as I know the Plasma has the edge when it comes to things like that.
Also when you mention that it's only an 120hz TV, that doesn't mean much especially for gaming - it may be important for movies but all that extra processing the TV does only adds more input lag and motion blur for gaming. You comparing it to a bottom of the line 60Hz TV is not accurate, I recommend you read that link (or any other reputable reviewer) I posted because it was compared to the top of the line full HD 240Hz Samsung H7150 and the Sony W850B had less motion blur for gaming, the same if not better picture quality and a much lower input lag (24.3ms compared to Samsung's 43.4ms) when in game/PC mode.
I'm not sure how high your standards are, but competitive gamers shouldn't notice any input lag under 30ms when playing games where it really matters, like FPS and Fighting games (saying an LED is not optimum for gaming is a little far fetched considering I've been gaming on LCD/LED TVs for many years with input lag as high up as the 50's and never noticed it, maybe I have low standards. But the W850B with an input lag of 24ms is perfect for any sort of game, competitive or not). Believe me I wanted and can use my Plasma that I have down stairs for gaming too, but I've heard too many stories and experiences with burn-in when you game on them for a long period of time. Unfortunately it does affect newer models because my mate recently purchased the last of the great Plasmas - Samsung's 2014 F8500 and after he plays games for more than 6 hours he needs to run a movie or moving images as it does/and can burn-in. I wouldn't say it's a big problem but it's still present and can happen.
Also thank you for the invite haha, but I do have a Plasma down stairs for my TV/Movie watching needs - but I've just been too scared to game on it because of the burn-in issues that can arise. Hence why I bought an LCD/LED TV for exclusive 100% use for gaming, no movies or Blu-Rays I just game on it. I've always wanted to try and game on my Plasma though and see just how different it is. Anyways, enjoy your TVs =]
PS: At the end of the day I know Plasmas are superior, but when you say that LCD/LED TVs are not optimum for gaming (especially now when you can get large screen sizes up to 60" and 70" with a super impressive low input lag of 24ms that statement is just simply not true).
