The New Definitive HDTV Lag FAQ

Thank goodness somebody got it done.

I’m still trying to scrounge an S-video cord, so it’s great that someone else could get the testing done.

If it’s true the U series has 0 lag, that’s radical, considering it’s a 1080.

Ergo, I’d have to wager the 720 TC-L32C3 is just as good (which it had appeared, to me, to be).

Those figures are awesome… so glad that I can have viewing angles now, and just use my Evo monitor as my secondary PC screen.

As I see it.

Does anyone know if this applies to projectors as well or what projectors may lag?

Still hoping to see the 720 TC-L32C3 tested with pics. Im thinking of putting one into a Vewlix L as I couldnt get a F panel.

Any reason you’d want the c3 instead of the u3 (assuming any lag would be the same)? Just curious. The difference seems to be the price and 720 vs 1080?

edit: oh and c3 is listed (on amazon) as just LCD, and u3 is listed as IPS Alpha LCD.

I know their track record is bad but that is under normal circumstances. I haven’t heard much about how they perform with HD Fury. Frankly I haven’t heard much about how any TVs perform with HD Fury. From what the opening post said many TVs don’t lag through their VGA port and the HD Fury allows you to play through that.

So again if anyone has tested HDTVs that lag normally with HD Fury and have had good results care to share the info?

The C3 has an IPS Alpha… I wouldn’t say it did, if it did not. :rolleyes:

As I see it.

Ahh OK cool. I guess the main difference is 720 vs 1080 then.

I really wanted a 42 inch size; Any experience with the u30, d30, e30 or e3 models?

just buy an hdfury and say goodbye to lag forever.

I hear that’s a misnomer, also while I’m at it I was wondering about splitters, I so far need to get splitters for HDMI and (MAYBE) VGA (depending on if this HDFury thing reduces lag on my set. 47LD450 by the way.

Are you testing with a laptop monitor?!!

can you somehow do the test with a CRT? i wouldnt trust it off a laptop.

Also about the HD Fury, i have a Sony Bravia 32 inch, it lags just as hard through the VGA port as it does through the HDMI, at native resolution (32-35 ms lag). I wouldnt just buy a Fury before testing your VGA port with some cheaper product first.

i get no lag whatsoever with any source on VGA.
even with hdfury no lag.
i think your panel just has slow response time.

if your going to get a splitter get the either the moome mux-hd or the gameswitch from databay.

Sony bravia is around 8ms response time. Not 35 ms. And even then, response time has nothing to do with it.

CLU 2, when you have time will you still test out your monitor? If you need an s-video cord, then I can mail you one.

If only that were true it would be so easy. The xbox also has an “official” vga cable that would do the same thing.

The evo monitor was first tested with a laptop monitor

btw what set do you have?

I am also wondering what someone would need an s video cable for?

does anyone know about the smaller asus monitors? I like the vh236 but 23-24" is a little bit big for my small room so I’d like a 19-20inch monitor for a dual setup.

I’m thinking about these:
ASUS VH197D
Newegg.com - ASUS VH197D Black 18.5" 1366 x 768 5ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ASCR 10,000,000 :1

ASUS VH196T-P
Newegg.com - ASUS VH196T-P Black 19" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 5000 :1 (ASCR) Built-in Speakers

ASUS VE198T
Newegg.com - ASUS VE198T Black 19" 5ms LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/Speakers 250 cd/m2 ASCR 10,000,000:1

Are the VH series (considering the vh236h in mind) pretty comparable to each other with differing screen sizes? I know some of the newer ones use LED lighting but I guessing the changes to input lag is negligible. Any response is greatly appreciated!

That’d be to test the CRT synced with the LCD and or laptop, depending upon your testing method.

Dammit, I friggin’ wish I hadn’t sent my Evo monitor on ahead of me, prior to the move… this would have been done in half a second if I had it here, still. :\

As I see it.

Duh so you are using the svideo out on your video card…
