Samsung ES6xxx for gaming

Okay so basically I have a Samsung ES6710, I want to start playing my xbox 360 and xbox one (when it comes out) on it. Question is how is the input lag? Currently I play on a AOC IPS monitor.

Also I heard setting the input to PC is the best to reduce lag and unwanted features for gaming. Will the picture quality differ much from the IPS Panel?

According to this the input lag is 33ms:

Which is decent enough. Not sure how accurate these guys are. PC or gamer mode is usually the way to go and you usually lose a little fancy image processing - which I normally turn off anyways.

Suppose that's not bad, I just hate when I go to friends houses and playing games like COD on their tv's and the gameplay feels slow/heavy. Not sure how else to describe it.

I will hook it up soon and try it on pc mode, only downside is you can't tweak the image much on those modes

The kids play there xbox 360 on a ES6800 through hdmi and they never complain about lag. To my eyes it looks fantastic as well.

Does look great, but after coming from a monitor I do notice a massive difference. Especially with motion blur on fifa, putting on PC mode sorts it all out though. Just lose a little picture quality and colour but it's a fair trade off
