Please read this post for the full story of why I made this video: www.avsforum.com Like many gamers who play timing-heavy games, I’ve been wary to upgrade to an HDTV because of the inherent lag created on many brands. Lag even exists with HD signals on some TVs, but I had come to believe it *always* existed on older (480i) consoles. I had done more than a year of research and had been disappointed. My options were to import a $2000 dedicated box from Japan to do special upscaling, or to “deal with it”. I came across this TV whose “game mode” actually works as it should. I know almost all TVs released today have a “game mode”, but all the ones I’ve encountered still leave behind at least 30-40 milliseconds of lag (or more), which is just enough to make timing-heavy games unplayable.

If you’re like me and absolutely refuse to settle for even 1 frame of lag, this is YOUR TV. Buy it.
