GT30 - Gaming and Lag?

I was reading this review:

Quote from article "The P50GT30B has a measured input lag of 30ms in Game mode which is slightly slower than some of Panasonic other plasmas"

Can someone please comment on the lag time and if its a concern on this TV? I know IR is a thing of the past but I'm trying to verify that this set is indeed a good gaming TV as well. Any help much appreciated!

Let's put it this way - you cannot currently buy a faster TV to game on (all the 2011 Panasonic plasmas seem to have the same lag). If 25ms is too much for you, then your options are awfully limited.

I had a GT30 and the lag was pretty fantastic. If you need better, you might have to hunt down an older Sharp LCD with Vyper Drive. They reach 16ms, but the new ones suck badly.
