Will this work for fast action gaming? Or is there a delay between the console and TV?

There is no transcoding, so there will be no transcoding delay. But there is some re-modulation, meaning the frequencies on the wire are translated to frequencies suitable for wireless, so there is some added latency, but you'd need lab equipment to measure it. A wired connection will always reject more interference than wireless, and fewer links in the signal chain will always reduce latency, so if you want to eliminate all doubt that this thing is slowing you down, you'll need to go wired. But practically speaking, your display most likely introduces more delay than this thing does. I play my PS3 with this thing all the time, and nothing about it affects my gameplay.

i think you should be OK. i used it to hook up directv to all the other TV's in my mother-in-laws house using 1 HD-DVR. I did not encounter any delay but i was not using it for gaming, only viewing.

I have not noticed a delay. The only problem I've had is when I try to use the dual output at the same time. One for audio to an older amplifier and one to the tv. The unit has no output when both are connected, but works fine when only one is connected.

No PC, I have only played 3D games on PS3 with Killzone 3 and Grand Turismo. There is no lag at all. However PS3 is 5-10 years old now? The TV is awesome. No motion blur or lag on anything I watch.

what about games that require timing, games like guitar hero, dance dance revolution, ect... how does it fare on them. i see a lot of TV's have "game mode" for games like these, but this one doesn't.

I really dont know because it wasnt a concern of mine. As far as I understand the lag is in the video processors, in order to minimize the log all video processing should be kept to a mnimum, this means you should disable the video processing in the receiver if you are using one and on the TV itself. I would expect the ViewHD Wii to HDMI to be faster than most video processors on the receivers or TVs.

I haven't tried it but I would think it would cause enough lag to be noticeable. There is a clear delay between sound if we have the TV on in two rooms and don't mute one of them - it is not much but enough to echo. I would think the image is as delayed so it could cause noticeable lag on a video game. Perhaps someone who has tried it can confirm if it is an issue. From experience, the less walls or other obstacles in the way of the receiver/transmitter, probably the less lag you would encounter. My transmitter is in an equipment cabinet and the receiver is a couple of walls away from that.

Have you confirmed console and cable work on a regular TV? SNES is output at 240p there may be a setting to better capture this, but with the lag I can't imagine it being very playable.

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've tried current gen consoles on this thing, and I got a ton of controller lag. (Also this capture card is not the real one, its a replacement to the EZcap)

Dude, I've been running my 360 on this. And what can I tell you, it's everything that's on paper, and then some... I've been running games at 720p and 1080i and it's just Liquid Crystal CLEAR. So far, no, it does not introduce any lag. I'm still waiting for the 1080p games that aren't out yet. I expect to be blown away.

Occasionally I will notice a slight delay but I think that is from my ps3 and not necessarily the keyboard. Other than that I have not experienced any lag time!

I'm pretty sure that game mode is still 120hz. However there is a review that states the lag on the TV is less than 10ms.

I never encounter a delay with the sound and I hook up direct to the tv.Sorry I can help more but u could check youtube.

There is no lag going from composite(edit:component) to HDMI on the passthrough(although there might be a loss of quality. I haven't tested without it, it's been plugged in since I got it.) The capture has about 2 seconds delay.

For what I'm using for (xbox) no seems just as quick if not quicker.but to be honest if you're worried about speed why not just get something more modern.
