Re: What adjustments do you make for your TV??? Need some help....

Honestly, gaming lag is an issue that doesn't seem to go away. It is inherent in LCD technology for now and forever more, or at least that's how I feel.

The only fix is to "live with it" as long as you have the TV. I did with my 23" LCD for four years. It annoyed me, it pissed me off, and I didn't like having that issue. Once I got my plasma, my eyes re-opened. It almost felt as if things happened on the screen before I pushed my button, it was so responsive. I can't fathom going back to an LCD again. I once brought my PS3 to my friend's house so we could play PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, and just in the XMB I was already complaining in my head (I think he has a Vizio as well).

People suggest to turn off all processing features, which may help very little... but it won't resolve the surrounding issue that you, in fact, have a TV with lag. Best of luck to you mate.

There is a known issue with Vizio TVs that you have to set game mode off then on again even if it says on to begin with. I have a 42" Vizio & i have to do this everytime i fire up the PS3. It is annoying but it only takes a few seconds.

I had the same problem as you man, but I recently bought a plasma Tv and lag on it is non-existent. I know your pain!

Just trying to get some feedback from the community on this particular topic....

I currently own a 32" Vizio, which I use for gaming. It's a well-known issue that there is noticeable lag, especially when hitting, even when the TV is set to "Game Mode". I was using TNK's sliders with minimal adjustments on my old flat screen TV, and I was hitting just fine. However, ever since I got the new TV, I've had to start tweaking sliders again just to get a decent offensive output. Right now, I'm lucky to get 7-8 hits a game, which is pretty frustrating.

I'm just trying to see what slider adjustmens people make/have made to combat this particular issue. There's zero chance that I go back to my old TV, because the game looks so damn good on the Vizio. I think it has to do with adjusting the timing/solid hits sliders in conjunction with each other, but I just haven't been able to find the sweet spot just yet.

Any thoughts??? Suggestions???

Do you have a PC mode instead of game mode? Pc mode can really cut down on the lag time
Also since the game is in 720 make sure the tv output is 720 that can also cut down on lag

Does this actually help??? I don't see a crazy amount of lag, like some people do. But what I do notice is I'm very rarely able to turn on a fastball the way I want to. And even when I seem to be right on it, the swing feedback says that I'm "just late". Adjusting the timing slider helps, but then it seems that I only get hits on doubles and HRs.

It helped in my case. I firet noticed it when i played Battlefield 3 & I could tell that my button press & game response were off. So i went online & found that info i posted. Now the lag is gone when you toggle on/off. You can tell too cause when switching the Game Mode off or on your tv should flicker like when you change a channel.

If with game mode you still have lag then there is zero you can do at this point.

Vizio sucks for gaming anyway. So does Samsung even though the games look fantastic.

If you get a samsung plasma then the lag is greatly reduced but LED and LCD tv's are brutal for gaming on samsung unless you use game mode which degrades the pic quality.

If you cannot afford a panny or sammy plasma then I suggest getting a 23-27 inch monitor. Great for gaming

I do this process as well and it helps.

I feel this issue is being made out to be more than it is. I own a Sony bravia xbr52hx909,LED, 240 hz, and ive been early on fastballs and everything in between. I dont like how dull/dark games look on plasma. I have no issue with timing on my sony led.

Re: What adjustments do you make for your TV??? Need some help....

Don't know what your talking about dull/dark on plasma my 50 "panny 3D is very bright more clearer on it then my 47' 3D vizio and def. a lot less lag. I do have issues with darkness if I have my curtains open in the room I play in.

Re: What adjustments do you make for your TV??? Need some help....

Thinking of buying a new bedroom TV it would be mostly used for gaming. I currently own Samsung 32inch LCD, lag never seemed too bad, at least any that I noticed, I might get a Plasma and be shocked by the lag.

I'd like to go a little bigger and stay below $500 if I can, any recommendations? Always been partial to Samsung TVs. I am open to LCD, Plasma, or LED. I have Samsung 60inch Plasma in the living room but have never tried the PS3 on it. Always worried about burn in, is that still a concern with video games on Plasma's with all the on screen displays.

I'm gong to playing the bad on my new pc monitor..1ms response time

Re: What adjustments do you make for your TV??? Need some help....

I haven't had no problems with mine so far but I have anti-image retention setting that I can turn and it runs a 15 minute black n white scroll across the screen to clear any burn in .AS far as deals on a t.v. id look at best buy they usually have the best deals atleast around where I live.

I work at Sears part-time (yay employee discount) and I was told Sears is getting a brand new line of 42" Panasonic Plasma TV's for $399. That is a great price if you ask me. I'm getting it as soon as it's available in store

Also, I've played on plasma's before, and the lag is pretty much non-existent.
