If this is used for old school game consoles, like the NES is there any button input lag, or any issues with picture quality?

I only use this device with an N64. There is no button input lag or loss of picture quality.

I've not noticed any. Then again, I haven't played an old game. I just used it to watch VHS.

I use mine with a 40" Insignia and works great for me. I use the box with all of my gaming systems and there is no lag at all. No sound lag or picture lag for me. All of my scart cables have the sound going to the box then to the TV from my tv to my surround sound and I have no lag. Like I said I use my scart box for sega genesis, nintendo snes, Dreamcast and sega saturn.

no, no problems with it at all, as far as videp games. i play MW3, GTA and other fast paced, graphics heavy games and there's no lag or blur. hope you enjoy it!

Yes, the screen display looks pretty much just like the arcade version and I feel that the controls are really accurate. The only thing is the picture quality is very low quality, like 16 bit and you only get to choose from 3 different courses. But, for the price, I still think its a great deal and really enjoy it. Hope this helps

It doesn't up convert to 480p, no. It's basically used to clean up the picture quality by converting to Component. I used this, along with a custom cable, to hook up my old Sega Genesis. The picture definitely came through much brighter and clearer when compared to the original.

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!

To the best of my knowledge, there are no input lag concerns for plasma televisions. Burn in was a common concern in the past, but that no longer remains an issue. I game on a plasma and whenever I have any ghosting on my screen, all I have to do is change the channel (or input) and it immediately goes away. Hope this helps. S.L. Madden

Disney Universe and Mario Cart Wii played beautifully - not to mention they up-converted into 3D flawlessly. I can't speak for hardcore FPS folk, but if you're a casual gamer, I doubt that lag is an issue you need to be worried about with this TV at all.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

If you're asking if it works with the retro system itself, it does not. Works for computer emulators. However, if you're asking if it works on a Nintendo emulator, it does. I use this controller for gameboy, NES, super nintendo and N64. You just map out the buttons in the controller input setting and map the buttons to whatever feels comfortable for you

Yeah there is a tiny bit, I used a lag test ROM and hooked up a Genesis parrellel scart and component to CRT and the LCD was 2.1 frames behind. Which is extremely good. The converter in the TV was 8 frames behind as comparison.

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.

Yep. Works just fine for GBA emulation too. I've also used it with some SNES emulation.

In my experience, the picture quality varies depending on the source. Just for reference, my TV is a 32 inch Sony, and the picture might look different on something else. My Wii (component 480p) and my DVD player (component 480p) look really good upscaled to 1080p. My PS2 (component 480i, 480p, 1080i) strangely looks better upscaled to 1080i and is sometimes a little off balance. My N64 (composite 480i) looks decent upscaled to 1080p. My Gamecube (composite 480i) and PS1 (composite 480i) look kind of noisy and blurry and are not centered on the screen exactly. My NES. (composite 480i) doesn't really change much. I hope this helps!

I'm using it with OpenEmu on a MacBook Pro, and it worked right out of the box. I just launched NES game, went to OpenEmu > Preferences > Controls, and selected "2Axes 11Key Game Pad" from the Input drop-down, and then clicked in the Up box and pressed the D-pad up, and went through mapping the rest of the buttons, and it worked great!

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

That's actually what I use it for most. Games like Battlefield, Call Of Duty, Titanfall, the games with which you would notice lag the most, and I can honestly tell you I do not notice any lag. I know the lag that reviewers are speaking of when it comes to games, I also have a slightly older 50" JVC LED on which you can definitely notice lag time between control input and on-screen movement.
