Input Lag -__-

[Gosens6]

Why is there no calibration option in this game? I got a 55 inch RCA (garbage I know) but the input lag is HORRIBLE! Hitting and pitching is pretty much impossible at this point without being late on everything.

My tv doesn't have a game mode, it's the first thing I tried to do. Has anyone ever successfully combated this issue when your tv doesn't have a "game mode"? I can't really afford to buy another TV. Any suggestions?

Sorry to hear that mate. I struggled a few years ago with a crappy 32in Emerson that didnt have any game mode or any way to fix input lag. I actually had to buy a CRT TV off craigslist because I couldnt stand how much it affected my play. Unfortunately there's really nothing you can do except buy another TV. IK you said that wasnt an option, but even if you could muster up $200-250 just to buy a 32" with less input lag you will be happier. Just my 2cents from my own personal experience and shared frustration.

that would not help a tv with poor input delay. no offense, but in tech terms what you have is a "garbage in, garbage out" situation. if your tv is the problem, no software feature in the game will help you.

your input lag is bad because your tv has bad input delay. the best you can hope for (without a dedicated gaming mode) is to manually turn off EVERY feature your tv has that uses processing power to display.

then cross your fingers.

oh, and as a last point, gamers, never buy a tv unless you research it's input delay first!!!!! here are some sites to help:

CRIP4LIFE - I noticed on those pages that the majority of TV's on there have a refresh rate of 60hz. I was under the impression that a 120hz refresh rate was the way to go for gaming.

well.. for refresh rate and consoles, no. 120hz is of no matter -- even further it's an extreme hinderance. all consoles max refresh at 60hz (60 frames per second).

on any gaming setup, you do NOT want your tv set on anything higher than 60hz. more will mean the tv is drawing in fake frames to fill the gap. you dont want that at all. that adds tremendous input lag (display lag).

Good info, thanks Crip. I have a good tv right now, but I will take this into account when I start my search for a new tv down the road.

Hmm, I wonder, I'm using a sharp 80 uq17u, don't have it on game mode, it's a 240hz, but have no issue with input lag.

Its has 58ms of lag according to this. Not good. But not bad.

i dont know about that, considering Vizio has a 120hz TV that is considered the best tv for gaming right now, and if you look for that TV in stores they are almost ALWAYS sold out, because they are so well designed for gaming.

Re: Input Lag -__-

I have a 55 inch 4k and was having this exact problem. I thought hitting had just gotten that much harder, but I played on a different tv and noticed i was way early on everything, so I googled it and sure enough game mode fixed the problem.

Here's the strange thing, I'm early on a lot of fastballs, it's like I'm too quick, I almost need input lag! lol!

Re: Input Lag -__-

I can't play this game on a TV. The timing requirement is too critical.
I use a cheap 27" CPU monitor.

may be true that the tv is capable of 120hz. but you dont game on that tv in 120hz. you select game mode and it locks to 60hz (as any great gaming tv will).

this is very good advice.

if you want the absolute best GAMING, get a monitor not a tv.

of course you should still shop around and compare monitor specs, but in general, a gaming monitor will virtually eliminate input lag/delay versus even the best gaming tv.
