Anyone use a Panasonic 32ET5B TV with their consoles?

I'm probably going to buy one of these today (well deciding between this and a Samsung ES6800). It's only going to be used for gaming ie PS3/Xbox/Wii U but I want the best I can get - but limited to a 32".

The Panasonic 32ET5B appears to have good reviews but none mention things like lag or motion blue etc in games.

Any advise welcome as I need to get one asap as my present set has developed a fault.

Cheers

I have the LX-42ET5B

Not noticed any problems, Just remember to put it in "Game" mode.

Brill, don't suppose you have any idea what the input lag is on it ?

Also what is it like when playing games with dark areas? the last Panasonic LCD I have used to have issues with Brightness, it was like someone was constantly increasing/deceasing the brightness as you more/turned.

Have the 47" version, no issues with blur here either. Game mode simulates a 150Hz screen and from what I've experienced is excellent.

Edit - With regards to the brightness I notice it changing very occasionally, seems to depend on the game but I remember it doing it sometimes in the dark levels on Uncharted 3. Its not severe by any means just noticeable.

mmm, yeah I remember it in UC3, Tombraiders, Dead Space etc. pretty much the dark areas. I don't get any of it if I use my Pioneer Plasma but that's too big for gaming really.

I wonder if this something that LCD/LED TV's suffer from? that said I don't get it on my Monitor either.. maybe it's a Panasonic thing... I wish I could try one before buying as I'm pretty fussy and it will drive me mad if I get a new TV and it suffers the same thing.

Do you have the ECO mode turned on !! that will cause the screen to adjust it self.
