In LCD, anything that isn’t humanly detectable would be considered lagless. There’s always a minimum of lag but it’s about how much you can detect. I think 4ms and below is lagless.
I play sf4 on my sony 60’ and i dont feel any lag. perhaps there is but its definitely not noticeable.
I had trouble with lag on my Samsung ln46a650 when I first bought it. I was so mad but with a little research I discovered that simply switching my xbox 360’s component cables with a VGA adapter solved the lag issue. My TV reads my 360 as a PC so all post processing is disabled on the stream from the 360. Might want to give it a shot.
Same here - Samsung LN40B650 via VGA. Most of the processing is disabled. Since it is outputting at native screen resolution there is also no scaling needed. This means any delay between incoming image and processing to output is minimal that delay is a non issue. EVERY imaging medium, including CRT has lag. The question is how much. CRT’s lag is just so small that it is pointless to measure. Modern LCDs with post processing and scaling disabled can come very close that the lag is less than 1/30th of a frame (less than one frame).
Mine is about 1 field (1/60th of a frame). I used a 720/60p camera to measure a 1 frame of video and 1 frame of audio beep.
played on my Vizio 37in LCD and 62in toshiba DLP, didn’t notice any lag, a few hiccups here and there on my vizio but not all the time
I actually did some research on this when buying a new HDTV and coming up with a couple of possibilities in my price range. According to a few review sites, the Samsung 656 series have noticeable lag unless you play in the special “gaming” mode, which apparently doesn’t do colors and such as well. The Sony Bravia 40W4000, on the other hand, was pretty much lagless.
I’ve had the Bravia 40W4000 for half a year now, and as far as I can tell, there’s no lag. If there’s any, I haven’t noticed.
Playing on a SD TV is disorienting when you’ve been used to playing on an HDTV. I didn’t have any issue with lag but the image seemed distorted to me because I’m used to seeing the game as wide screen so my judgment of distance was all off. The game just looks awkward to me when not in wide screen.
Not to fuss, but I have a ln40A650 and have no problems with it. I first played Smash Bros on it and I was like wtf this sucks. Turned on “Game Mode” and it seems to have cleared it. I can say the Auto Motion Plus (AMP) seems to do a lot of processing and kills the TV in terms of playability… Switching it to Game Mode fixes it and when connecting to you’re PC there is another setting you must switch too to keep it running smoothly.
older sony 42" lcd. hdmi, no lag at all.
I play on a 46" Sony Bravia - using HDMI for the video. Typically my connections are smooth and latency isn’t a huge factor.
At home, I play on a SDTV exclusively (a pretty small one, at that). At EVO everything felt a little off, though I got used to it. Maybe that was just me.
I have a 32" LG Scarlet (32LG60R), and with the Game setting from the TV, it seems to have no lag. The test with Gitar Hero - Aerosmith, it showed 0 lag for the video test, and a minimum lag for the audio, since I use a personal setting for the audio.
I intentionally play on sdtv after playing the game for a while in hd. I miss how pretty the graphics are in HD, but there was lag. I had to retime my link combos when I switched. I’m not sure that I can react to stuff I couldn’t before, in other words it might just be psychological, but at least I feel like I can react quicker.
I play on an ASUS VW224U via VGA. Little to no lag.
I play on an older 32" Sony Bravia and it does create lag because of all the effects it adds to the picture. I got around that by using a VGA cable instead of a component cable. A friend of mine has a recent 32" TV that doesn’t post-process the picture on-screen, so he’s fine with component cables. Other newer televisions should be fine, too.
if the is any lag on my 52" samsung i don’t notice it. i also play on and sd tv sometimes and can’t tell the difference.
I have the same model that in the video : Phlips 42PFL9632D
Bought it 1 year and a half ago.
I guess it’s a quite old model since it’s not sold anymore
It is impossible to have a lagless LCD, you just do not notice. However if you played a FPS game on an SDTV right next to your HDTV, you would notice immediately. I also highly doubt most of you guys have LCD’s with a faster response time than 4ms. Not trying to insult just letting you guys know.
I felt my Panasonic 32" LCD tv had some lag on it playing SF4 so I switched to CRT and have been satisfied since.
i have no lag on my computer monitor. its HDMI setup. its a samsung.
