Azuren,

I can get employee pricing on the Samsung, which is why it is on top of my very short list. Seeing as you are a salesman, can you compare the X850D, X850C and X900C? I am wondering if the X850D is really that much better than lasts year's models. And how bad is the light bleeding on the X900C really? There are some really great deals going on the X900C, but if it is that terrible, I will pass. I will be viewing in a large living room with some light control, but nothing theater dark. I know you say that ~100ms response time is not that big of a deal, but I am a PC gamer and will for sure be connected to this TV to play games as well, but not as often as console gaming or tv viewing.

The 850C is, honestly, a smidge better than the 850D overall, but you're really not losing much that is noticeable. If you can find an 850C, I would say go for it, they should be fairly cheap being discontinued.

The 900C is absolutely fucking awful. I actually had to get onto my salesmen for selling it without making the lightbleed aware to the customer (the bright demo makes the lightbleed difficult to see). The only thing it was good for was passive 3D, and no one cares about 3D anymore. The lightbleed on a black screen will turn it a dark gray. A noticeable dark gray.

Well, I use my 930D as my monitor as well, but I won't blame you for going with a lower input lag. Just see if you can turn off the smart functions of the TV itself; that should address some of the artifacting, and your PC will take care of making it's own image look good.
