HD TV lag - Blu-ray Forum

Gamekid · 06-15-2006, 07:02 PM

I was reading an article on a website that talked about lag with gaming when using a HD TV. I was wondering if this is true. It's like if you have an XBox 360, some games won't be playable on your widescreen TV. If you have a fighting game and you do something like a combo, there's like a half a second delay. I never heard of this. The only lag that I know of is when using a computer, if you start to type in Microsoft Word, then it can take half a second for your text to appear on screen as soon as you open word. Anyway going back to the HD TV lag issue, the article mentioned that certain models suffer worse then others. Has anyone had this problem?

I've only heard about it with older models of certain Samsung DLP's and it only happened with 480i signaled games.

It really shouldn't be a problem any more with current models of most TV's. Some of them even have outright "game modes" on them.

As more processing for the image is included into the TV's, expect the lag to increase.

If you are concerned about it you should definitely try game box on the TV you want to buy in the store. If the store won't let you, go to a different store - they didn't really want your money anyways...

From what I know, DLP has the biggest problem with this, due to the way it generates color.
