The Samsung RU9000 has excellent low input lag. It should be good enough for casual gaming, but not for competitive gaming. To get the lowest input lag, you only need to be in ‘Game’ mode, and PC users only need to have the input in use labeled ‘PC’.
This TV allows the use of motion interpolation when gaming. The settings are located in a separate menu called Game Motion Plus Settings, but it has the same options as the Auto Motion Plus Settings menu. There are sliders for Blur Reduction and Judder Reduction, which you can adjust to your preference, and an LED Clear Motion toggle for the black frame insertion feature. Using motion interpolation when gaming adds a bit of input lag, but it shouldn’t be noticeable for most people.
There’s an ‘Auto Low Latency’ mode that puts you in ‘Game’ mode automatically when the TV detects a game being launched from a compatible device. To use it, make sure that Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) is enabled in the External Device Manager settings menu.
