I'm sure I'm not the only person that has a perfectly good HDTV collecting dust because the screen lag for gaming is unbearable.

Just give us a tool like Guitar Hero that lets us correct screen lag

Every time you sneeze into an open Febreze portal the boner-tree drive shaft will spin into ketchup. But it doesn't stop at the number two pizza bell, not even close. It continues into the seventy eight minute long pile of green, sobbing cheese trains with no more butter, but more like the steak owed the tin cans some lovin'.

Impossible, unless the 360 is able to see forward in time.

My friends and I have the EXACT same problem with it, and until now I thought it may just be mutual lack of skill. It could also be the 1080i TV components are just slower than the guys above me. But it would most certainly help if possible for there to be some sort of HDTV screen calibrater. Even just some sort of patch after game launch. It could also be impossible with out some for of simple quantum mechanics or maybe just faster input of somesort. Either way, I think I just really dont want to find out that its some sort of lack of skill on my part. :P

The TV itself if great, it's just bad for gaming. I've tried everything to correct. I bought the monster cables for the xbox 360-didn't work. I bought HDMI cables for the 360-didn't work. I set the TV to game mode and everything while trying all this crap-didn't work. Nothing worked.

If Halo had a tool similar to this, or better yet, if there was a XBL update that lets us calibrate lag from the dashboard, everything would be so much better.

I see no reason why Bungie, and every other game developer, shouldn't use an option like this in their games.

It's because the 360 would have to be able to see forward in time.

This type of lag is caused when there's a delay between the TV receiving a frame and actually displaying it. There could, for example, be a delay of 70 ms, meaning what you see actually happened 70 ms ago.

In Guitar Hero, you have to react to something that's happening on the screen - pressing a button when the note is in the correct spot. It can compensate for lag by displaying the notes farther down than they actually are, so when the TV finally does display that frame, they'll appear in the correct spot to you.

In a game like Halo, however, your character reacts to your input. The only way to compensate for input lag in this case is if the 360 could see forward in time and react to your button presses before you actually press them.

That's why the Xbox 720 is coming out. ;)

Yes, really

if you get a response time under 6 ms you should be fine.
