I've never seen a lot of lag in HDTVs in gaming, TBH. Granted, that's just my experience, but I've hooked enough of them up. If you're routing your system through an HTS there may be some lag between audio and video, but that's usually something you can fix on your HTS. I'm get to have problems even with games like Rock Band and Rocksmith, where the timing of sound to video is kinda...Important. Again, might not be universal, since people do complain. I just wonder if it isn't played up some.

Refresh rate is sometimes used to talk about the response time, and you want a low response time (fewer ms) if possible. I was thinking the refresh rate in terms of hz (60 v 120), but it occurs to me it probably doesn't matter if you're playing on a console. I'm eeing reports even of Xbone and PS4 games being locked to 30hz, which means 120 makes no difference. Ever.

But honestly, this will be a step up in almost any case, so if mostly what you want to do is upgrade, it's probably fine. I'm just anal about the specs, half of which they lie about anyway.
