No not ended yet. Just had the G20 up for 1 day. What makes the G20 better for gaming is hard to explain. On paper it is straight forward. G20 has like almost 0 [.1 ] I think response time and the 600hz. Although the 600hz is misleading. It's not really 480hz faster or better. Plasma, due to different technology gauge the hz differently. I'm sure the Plasma experts here can elaborate more on that.
For example I was playing my old fav HAlo 1,2,3, and COD3. In the controls the movement is sloppy on the LED SAm 6300. Like I turn to the right and it keeps turning for just a ms longer. Or aiming the same thing it’s sloppy. I can't target like I used to on my old 36" JVC tube TV or the G20. I aim on a target and it like keeps going past.
I even hooked the game back to the tube to make sure it wasn't the controller.
Yes it is darker, but there are a few setting to increase light. Brightness and backlight or dark tone adjustment. But in game mode it is limited yes. 10 years ago when I bought the JVC tube, it had much better brightness adjustment then the RCA that I returned. BY the way, is RCA dead now? Only had the plasma for 1 day and haven't checked out everything. SOme G20/25 Vet's maybe will have more info on that.
The refresh rate looks to be a big deal with gaming. My first LG, MDL 520 LCD HDTV was better. IT was 2ms response time. IF you’re gaming mostly, the 6300 is not as good a choice. And the darn clerk will tell you what you want to hear. I was worried about the 4ms. One sales clerk told me yes it is 4ms response time, but will adjust down to 2ms if the game needs it lol. I thought it was BS then and now I know it's BS.
Hope this helped you. I'm no expert. I just want to plug it in and play. WE all paying extra $$ for the manufacturers to figure out what works or not. But the sales clerks and TV makers have their little tricks or misinformation, or no information when it's something that's crap and they don't want the buying public to know. Ya, what's up with that? I look at the specs on a TV and it's [no information available]? That is why I joined this forum.
Thanks
