rajmist Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 It has been known for hte xbox 360 to suffer from gaming lag on some plasma / LCD HD screens, i'm looking for a lcd screen to buy for the wii as currently i have no tv to play it on when i get it do you think the wii could suffer from gaming lag even though it does not produce HD graphics, or can anyone reccomend a tv which works well with a xboc 360 Raj
Nintenchris Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 How is anyone supposed to know when its not even out yet? As for a good screen for a 360 The Samsung ones are great.. and not too expensive
rajmist Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 I think if we can find some people who own XBOX 360 and who run LCDs / Plasma then these machines we will be able to put on hte sage list
Rick Dangerous Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Why does it lag? Is it the tvs refresh rate or something? Im hoping to run the wii on my monitor im guessing that should be fine if i runs half life 2. You could always get a dabs value widescreen monitor for £100 that is basically a HD tv. Or you could find out what the 360 demo pods use.
mario_jr Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Why would the Wii lag? How do you know?.?. "Because its not powerful enough." :horse:
xernobyl Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Why would the Wii lag? How do you know?.?. "Because its not powerful enough." :horse: The lag I think people are refering here has nothing to do with the consoles. It has to do with the screens. It's known that some LCDs and plasma screens take some 13ms to respond, and that may affect some people.
solitanze Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Some TVs have a tendancy to lag with fast movements like a game of real tennis on TV, its rather annoying.

Yep you guys got it so i was trying to find a screen that hopefully will work fine, i know the samsung has a gaming mode but to be hounest i would prefer the panasonic or sony
Charlie Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 It will be the same as any other console, it completely depends on the TV you're using.
Patch Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Some TVs have a tendancy to lag with fast movements like a game of real tennis on TV, its rather annoying. I noticed that after I bought an LCD TV (to replace the old CRT TV), the scrolling that occurs between acres on Animal Crossing is more blurry. But oddly, with F-Zero GX, I could not see any difference.
Phube Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Not sure how true this is, but on another forum they said that lag occurs if you try to use the 'standard' 3-pin AV cable supplied with the Cube, on an LCD/plasma TV. And it can only be rectified by using the SCART cable (sold separately). They used fancy terms like composite and component???

I dont think thats true as its never happened on my LCD with my cube... well atleast i dont think it has.
DCK Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Isn't this called 'ghosting'? You've got to have a trained eye to notice while playing games on modern screens, so I wouldn't worry.
