Do Plasmas Lag? 6 Models, 3 Brands Tested. Which Wins?
Are plasma TVs good for gaming? I lag tested six models using a Time Sleuth and explain special considerations necessary to interpret the results due to plasma panels' atypical pulse method of displaying each frame.
Models Tested:
Panasonic TH-37PW5
Panasonic TH-37PX60U
Panasonic TC-P42S30
Panasonic TC-P50ST60
Pioneer Elite Kuro PRO-101FD
Samsung PN51F4500AFXZA
These products in my plasma setups have worked very well for me:
➤ Automatic 8-input 1080p HDMI Switch: https://amzn.to/3Ds2OlQ (Bad for 4K sources but perfect for my HD plasma TV setup!)
➤ 10-outlet switch boxes used throughout my setups: https://amzn.to/4g4LJwP
➤ Black Glass Universal Tabletop TV Stand: https://amzn.to/3PrpJk9 (My Kuro and F4500 are each on the XL-sized stand.)
➤ Easel-style stand for 49-70 inch TVs up to 88 lbs.: https://amzn.to/3PlDKQn (I had to modify it to fit my old 37" panel… do so at your own risk. It's designed for bigger models.)
