Im thinking of upgrading my triple screen setup of 27" monitors, to 42" TV's.
Im not bothered about 3D.
Preferably the TV model would have:
LED
1080p HD
2+ HDMI connections
low input lag

Im not overly tech savvy so all this comparison talk of motion blur/ghosting, black, colors etc of a screen im not too familiar with. I just know the basics; frames per second, input lag, refresh rate.

Ive had a look around on the internet but theres just so much info/discussions going on i cant make heads or tails of it all.

Monitors are best for gaming, but id like to step things up in the "pimp my ride" sort of mentality of things, from my monitors in my bedroom to a full-on lounge wall suped up with 3 TV's for the ultimate surround gaming setup.

Preferably have Freeview (UK) enabled on the middle TV, as i dont need a subscription with a cable/sky/satellite company. I use only the internet to watch movies and TV programs - when im not playing games.

There probably isnt a 42" TV with very good low input lag i know that, but im looking for one with the lowest lag input possible, plus other features ive mentioned.

I use 3 LG Infinia 42LX6500 LED Television - 3D and they are superb. Very low latency( think its 2 or 5ms) . Very good image and absolutely no ghosting etc.
They are 3dtv's but that dosent matter for gaming as there are no tv's that support 120hz input for true 3d gaming on pc. You can use 3dplay etc to watch 3d films.

They have multiple hdmi ports, usb, network etc. and can be used to view utube and other sites. Not sure about freeview uk but they are also a discontinued model, but there are plently of newer models out there with newer features.
The things to look for would be low latency and a game mode which should be available in the manufacture's specs.
