Has anyone used this to watch football or any sport for that matter? If so, how is the picture?

I own this projector. I watched the playoffs and the Superbowl on it. The picture is awesome I have no complaints my house has become the spot for big games football basketball. Ect. The only thing I would suggest is a surround sound for it. If you watch by yourself it is fine but with company especially during big games a surround sound is needed in my opinion.

I watched the Super Bowl and it was awesome! And we projected on a wall, not a screen. WAY better quality than one pecten.

I have had this for a couple months now and it is perfect for football and movies.

Yes, I did use this to see the super bowl and it was good. It has very short throw, so you will get big picture in a small distance. I wish it was 1080P.

Not football but other videos in large seminars and the picture quality is really good. We are even at a much lower resolution than if I were watching a movie at home. I use it because of the short throw function onto a very large screen.

even though its just 60 hz I am not see the blur or the blockyness I have seen on other tvs 1-2 years ago. This is even hooked up to my computer playing the latest games and im happy with it. Its great! I watched the Steelers win again on this tv and it was awsome. I did not experience any motion related problems that I could tell or remember anything like that that irritated me. I am a little picky and after only 3 weeks owning the superbowl to me was a big test and this little 32 inch xbr6 passed as far as im concerned.

I wondered the same thing but honestly I cannot tell a difference. I have enjoyed every second of using this tv whether I am watching football or a movie. My friends are envious!

The picture from an angle is more than acceptable. My TV is setup on the short wall of a rectangular room, so it's not really an issue for me, but having just stood and watched for a while on the side of the tv, it's not that bad. The picture/colors don't degrade much until you reach an almost unwatchable angle, so it's almost a non-issue. Aside from the issues I've had with the networking rendering the TV useless, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this tv again.

No, you can watch from a distance or the side and it shows no distortion of color or picture. Not sure of the actual viewing angle.

I have used it to record episodes of t.v. shows and a few football games to DVD. I was able to watch them later with no issues.Note: I use broadcast television. I do not have cable or satellite.

Check out Wineguard (sp?) antennas. I bought one for $29, it grabs the FREE HD broadcasts and connects to your TV via coax (standard antenna feed). I get all the major channels, FOX, CBS, NBC, CBS in HD. Beautiful picture. What I do NOT get is ESPN. So I can watch most football games without cable. I have Roku and the Wineguard antenna... Hope this helps!

I watch all major sports and I don't have an issue with the refresh rate at all, there aren't any blurs during the games, but sometimes it happens when you watch movies on movie channels

Absolutely, that is why I bought mine...for outdoor tailgates and camping (so I can watch sports). Works great the few times I have used.

I wouldn't recommend it for game play. I think there is a little lag time. Further, you need to use the Black Magic software package to see what the unit is seeing. So you wouldn't be able to go full screen with the image. I wasn't designed with this in mind. If you wanted to record brag clips this might be a good way to go.

It's actually a pretty decent image for a basic video monitor. We have it on the opposite end of the house and it works perfectly--have also had it in the basement with a clear image (it is black and white though). Depending on how our baby is laying, I can see her breathing and you can easily tell when their eyes are open.

I don't know about sporting events or basketball games but under decent lighting, its great. You can use the camera flash or not, either ways the picture clarity is nice.

At sixty pounds, I find it a little heavy to throw, although since it is so big, it is pretty easy to hit at the plate. You're not going to get a home run with it though, and it won't fit in the net for two points. If you mean is the picture good enough for sports, yes it is. There are plenty of options to adjust to get the picture just how you like, including options to improve the picture for fast motion and crisp images during sports action. The viewing angle is also good, and you can see the picture clearly even from out to the side. I think the viewable angle is over 160 degrees, it looks good way out to the side from where I'm sitting right now.

I've taken some nice shots of football players with this lense, but they were day games. It's a bit dark when fully extended (300mm), but if your camera handles ISO's of 400 - 800 well, it can be used. IMHO, it's as good as any in this price range. Idealy you would want a faster lense for sports, and that speed will cost you.

I don't normally watch sports on this machine. I use it as my desktop monitor because I can plug a laptop in thru the HDMI port and use both machines. Having said that, I hooked up and external HD antenna and watched the Bears lose tonight. Although I occasionally lost the screen due to thunderstorms bollixing reception, I did not notice any blurring. I then went to ESPN through my desktop and watched some of their videos. Voila, occasionally the screen blurs. I don't know whether I need a faster internet speed or whether the box is at fault. I suspect internet due to it working OK over the air. Hope this helps.

I wish I could give you a comprehensive answer, but I can't since I don't use the unit for gaming. The most I can say is that there's no blur or indication of unwanted motion in any of the broadcasts I have received, including the Indy 500, which may have presented a bit of a challenge in this respect. I hope you find that your Panasonic is as suitable for gaming as it is for standard usage. Good luck!
