Best gaming TV?

I am in the market for a 40" gaming tv with a vga input but I have done some
resarch and a few things are unclear.

I know response time is an issue, what is a typical response time good for
gaming?
What is a good dynamic color ratio? I have seen some that are 100000:1 and
others are 10 bit. What's the difference?
I would like a 240hz set to reduce any/all ghosting but some sets come with
a game mode that is supposed to balance this issue.

I am really interested in an LED set but the ones in my price range are
side-lit LED which doesn't produce a uniformed backlight.

I have narrowed t down to either a Sharp Aquas or the LG 42lh90 but if
anyone else has some suggestions I would love to hear them.

I may have not used the correct lingo and some spelling errors, but not one
comment? All I am asking for are suggestions, does anyone use their set for
video editing or anything other than normal programming???

Anybody?

I have a new 55 inch Vizio. It has LED backlighting, 240 Hz, and a slew
of video mode presets.

It has a "game" setting for the video, which is a preset that is
brighter and with more saturation. The TV also has 240 Hz, but you
talked about VGA. I don't know if any of that works with VGA input. I do
have a laptop hooked up to the VGA port, but it isn't a gaming machine.
I used it as a video streaming device. I have recently attached a PS3
hooked up through HDMI, and it works great for video and audio
streaming, and games. The laptop will find a new use shortly.

My PC gaming is done on a Viewsonic 24" that sits about 18" from me.

The Vizio was about $1,900 at Costco. They have smaller models, but I
don't know much about them.
