Looking to upgrade from an LG 47LE5400 to a 60inch LED.

1. Budget: $1400-$1500
2. Seating distance: 9-10 feet
3. Size/placement limitations: None
4. Uses and sources: Primarily for gaming on a PS4, PS3, and PC. I watch ESPN or Youtube videos if I'm not gaming.
5. Room lighting: From dark to the sun watching TV next to me because the jerk can get in from any of the 6 windows in my living room.

I'm currently looking at three different sets (see links below), but I'm open to more suggestions. 3D isn't a factor in my decision, but if the TV has it I won't complain. Also, low input lag is a big deal for me because I play fighting and racing games a lot.

Currently in consideration:

Thanks!

EDIT: Went with the SONY. Ultimately the low input lag and the Moving picture resolution performance won me over. SO EXCITE!

I recently bought the 60' Aquos Q series, i love it. PS4 games look amazing, no input lag, great bang for your buck.

I love PLASMA (I have a Samsumg D8000) but I really wish to buy the new Sony's OLED.

Nice. What's the model name? I'd like to compare it to the three that I'm narrowed down to. Only CRT TVs have zero input lag though as far as I know.

It's LC-60EQ10U, if there is lag it's minimal, i haven't noticed it.

The best HDTVs on the market right now in my personal opinion...

Samsung UNF8000 Series
Sony KDL-55W900A
Samsung PNF8500 series

Just make a research first about the input lag... I resolved in my D8000 choosing PC mode instead of Game Mode (yeap... PC mode have better input lag than Game Mode).

Samsung UNF8000 Series - Overpriced
Sony KDL-55W900A - No 60" version
Samsung PNF8500 series - Input lag in game mode is 107.5 ms and 53.1 ms in PC mode; Active 3D

Yeah, I looked at all those, but they all missed something that I needed.

Samsung UNF8000 Series - Overpriced; 46.8ms input lag
Sony KDL-55W900A - No 60" version; Active 3D
Samsung PNF8500 series - Input lag in game mode is 107.5 ms and 53.1ms in PC mode; Active 3D; Horrible Energy Star rating; motion resolution is only 700 lines.

I ended up ordering the SONY KDL-60R550A. If I ever get myself a Vita, I can finally call myself a SONY Pony.

SONY KDL-60R550A is an amazing TV... the issues with Samsumgs are the input lag... that's why I said I had to use mine in PC Mode for games because the Game Mode is terrible.
