Hey all, I am going to buy my first HDTV next week and I have some questions to ask, I hope someone can help :)
The main purpose for this tv would be gaming, ps3 and maybe ps4 in the near future. I have been a pc gamer till now and planning to give ps3 a go to, I will also use it for bluray movies but gaming is my first priority. I am thinking of buying a 46" or 52" Samsung series 6 or 7 tv. Anything higher is above my tv budget.
Ok so coming to the question I want to ask:
1. From what I understand through reading most sources, LED is the way to go if you are buying a new hdtv but I want to ask is it best option for gaming or should I be better off buying a simple lcd tv? (plasma is out of the question)
2. Samsung also lists something called "Clear Motion Rate" and I see newer and expensive models have higher of it upto as much as 1000 Clear Motion Rate. I don't quite get what it is but its not something refresh rate or something that I need to know? I know getting tearing on tv screen due to fast paced action game/movie shouldn't be a concern this far into hdtv technology but hey better safe then worry.
3. Should I really be investing into a 3D tv because its a thing of the present/future even though I am not planning to use any 3d feature? (I can't picture myself wearing goggles for 3-4 hours while playing games). Or I am better off spending that money into something better like buying a bigger tv? Also can 3D TV's display the 2d content as good a normal 2D tv can?
4. Anything else that I need to look out for when buying an HDTV?
Here is one tv that seems quite interesting to me, I saw that in my local retail store last Friday and it was listed for an amount roughly equal to $1200 USD.

It's supposed to be a 3D tv although its from Samsung old 6 series. Does it lacking any notable new features that I should be aware of or is it good enough for my gaming and average bluray playing needs?
