| HDTV Input/Gaming Lag
Has anyone else had a run in with this? Recently i've been in the market for a new tv and finally purchased a 32 inch Vizio 3d lcd this past week. It's been great so far, but i've noticed a brief input lag on it when gaming. It's only about 1/4 second delay, but it's enough to be a royal pain. It's not that big of a deal on games like Skyrim, but it's become borderline unbearable on games where split second decisions and timing are necessary (a la CoD and Madden)....especially if you like to play competetively.
The only way i've gotten it to be minimized so far is scaling back the resolution on the 360 to 420p and setting the tv to game mode. I'm hoping there is a way to fix it without sacrificing the 720/1080 resolution, but havent't found a solution yet. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.

| Happened on a cheap tv I bought a couple of years ago. GPU was too slow. If it is like mine you will have problems with video lagging behind audio as well. Try the NFL Network for some reason it was particularly bad. Fortunately I was able to return it | |

The split second delay threw off my accuracy and the ball went 25 feet wide right. After I went into practice mode to try out kicking again I figured out there was a problem.

| If you play online, you won't notice the minuscule 0.05 second "input lag" over the 35.2 second connection lag. | |

| Go into advanced TV settings and see if you have smooth motion effect on. Turn it off if so | |

| Run the tv at its highest resolution. That's the native resolution. I'm sure it's probably 720p or maybe 1080. If the tv has a game setting try using that. | |

| If you play online you're gonna deal with lag no matter what system you use, what tv you have, or how good your connection is. | |
