What is the latency/lag like? Could you run the video received in full screen and play games from external device?

The video latency is not particularly noticeable. I was able to play an online FPS competitively with no noticeable lag. Quicktime X player provides a full screen solution. Invariably, after some random amount of time, it'll crash and require a reboot. Quicktime 7 Pro hasn't yet crashed, but it doesn't allow full screen mode during video capture/playback.

Not sure latency on computer screen with this as input is likely4-6 frames might make your shooting a little slow.

I wouldn't recommend it for game play. I think there is a little lag time. Further, you need to use the Black Magic software package to see what the unit is seeing. So you wouldn't be able to go full screen with the image. I wasn't designed with this in mind. If you wanted to record brag clips this might be a good way to go.

With updating the firmware and putting the tv intl game mode I have noticed only minor lagging at time compared to before the firmware update. Turn off motion smoothing also helps.with studdering during game plan. Certainly not the best tv for gamers but overall game play isnt a nuisance either...

That's what I use. Of course, there is latency, but it works as I expected. Hope this helps!

You can play video games on it but it depends on your needs. I've actually made some lag test on it and the results shows a delay of 2 frames (33.34ms) and there is a bunch of game's genera that needs perfect timing. In this image, the leftmost screen is my laptop using this PVR via composite, and the center screen is my LG Monitor connected directly to my Xbox via component cables. The rightmost screen is just a sample of this PVR capture work (and looks pretty good). http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/1e94/runatiq9dqe7nt8fg.jpg As you can see, in the laptop is still showing part of the carabine, meanwhile in the LG monitor the carabine is not visible at all. Those 2 frames will ruin the whole experience. It works excellent if your intention is just record your gaming sessions, but I won't recommend it to play competitive games like Halo. The only problem is that the PVR crashes when you plug in a N64. However, if you play N64 games through Wii's Virtual Console, it will work perfectly. And now, about the input lag: that depends on your Operative System and the device itself.

Latency from my phone is probably .2 - .4 sec off. It could be ignored and workable, but for me, it is too far off for me to use it to comfortably watch a movie. My laptop (older Bluetooth technology) is actually a worse.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

I don't know if this could be used for games. I also have not noticed any delay. We are using it for remote connections to a projector. We simply ran a single HDMI cable from this device to the projector. This device allows many different sources to be connected to the projector, without running multiple types of cables up to the ceiling mounted projector.

That's a tough one, it does not say on the box or the website. I'm not sure how to measure it either but for what it's worth, I'd say the audio/video latency is very very low or does not exist for the average joe.

Update: I went ahead and bought the 720, and have not had any problems with lag on my Wii. I have the Wii component cable going into the 720, and a single HDMI cable sending all of my video to a projector. It looks and plays great.

Poorly. The video playback, while functional, is not smooth or without jitter. The Android driver for the on-CPU video chip is not currently accelerated, like it is in Android devices from top-tier manufacturers.

You can preview the program in full screen I'm not sure though if its 30 or 60 fps. There's very minimal lag time for the preview so you shouldn't have any problems with that, although I'm sure it depends on your computer. I haven't had any problems with the delay of input in the preview.

Haven't gotton any noticeable lag with games. I play first person shooters battlefield 3 eg.. As I said great tv but expected more of a trumotion feature..

I'm not a huge gamer, but I've played games like GTA V and COD. I notice no lag at all when using either 2D or 3D modes. In fact, the games look and feel great. I had to change some settings and modes on the projector to get the colors/darkness settings right. Once I did, games and movies all look simply fantastic.

I haven't noticed any lag and my games worked perfectly. I'm using one of the HDMI slots. I haven't switched to Game Mode (to my knowledge) as suggested in the other response, but will try that to see if that makes a difference. Very happy with this Samsung.

It doesn't really allow for a full screen image. The image it draws from the source is contained within a smaller box that is surrounded by "options" you can use for editing your video. That is if you are using the supplied software. There is a noticeable lag time that I think would ruin any gaming play.
