How much input latency does this introduce? I want to use this to switch gaming consoles and it would need to be good for playing FPS games on.

I have PS3 and DirecTV receiver connected and going to two HDMI equipped monitors. I have not experienced any noticeable display lag during gameplay. With that said, the only lag that I have noticed is between the 3.5" analog audio output connected to my receiver, and the digital audio via HDMI coming through the monitor speakers. When both audio sources are played simultaneously, an "echo" effect is heard which I contribute primarily to the digital to analog audio processing done in the monitor as opposed to the switch. The monitor's audio is the one that is lagging. I play BF4 and GTA V with no issues.

I returned the unit shortly after purchase I was unable to get acceptable gain for input into either linux, or windows client PCs.I do recall that zero latency output to the headphones was zero latency, you might want to try the blue yeti, approx same cost and worked perfectly for me until I sold it to upgrade to a blue yeti pro.

Do not use it for gaming. The input lag is atrocious and you can't disable the post processing to make it respond faster to your input. Impossible to play fast twitch games.

I use this with a logitech g502 mouse, connected to a XIM4 and I can play PS4 with them no problem. This opened up the console world for me, as I am awful with a controller

When I play something like battlefield 3 there is a bit of eye strain after some time. Not sure how much of that is the monitor though rather than the fast movements. The latency is fine. The main thing to note is that this is a 60hz monitor refresh rate. I can see the static dance around slightly more over a monitor that refreshes at 120hz. Though I imagine most wouldn't notice that aspect. For long hours of gaming that may make a big difference when it comes to fatigue. Something to consider.

Some people say there is input lag and ghosting but I do not see any. Works great for me. You need a LOT of GPU for it though. I use SLI 470's and they are starting to show their age already at 2560x1600.

I've been using it to play several games, including Borderlands 2, Saint's Row 3, Bastion, and XCom. I haven't had any problems at all with it and the sensitivity can be adjusted to your preferred setting.

I use this TV for gaming on PS3 and 4. I haven't had any issues with latency, refresh rate or other visuals.

THIS IS NO GOOD FOR GAMING CONSOLE / PS3. There is a LAG with video rendering in Laptop/PC. I bought this for my PS3 hoping that I can connect my PS3 to my Laptop for playing but I was totally disappointed. If you are playing any first person shooting Game, timing is very crucial. There is delay with actual game and the video render on my laptop when using Easycap. Later I did a thorough analysis and figured out that only HD capture devices can process and deliver a fast rendering video to the laptop/pc. These are over $100. Here are some best options that I found but expensive too - Roxio Game Capture HD PRO, ExpressCard HD Video Capture Card THIS IS NO GOOD FOR GAMING CONSOLE / PS3.

It's not so good with intense FPS games such as CSGO because this is IPS monitor that has higher delay(5ms) than TF moniter. However, if you are not professional gamer, it's never mind. The monitor is the best one in this price.

i have not tried the "Game Mode" but latency / lag didn't seem bad when I used HDMI cable from my laptop. Of course the HDMI limitation slows it down a lot but I will test it more when HDMI 2.0 update is released.

I have used it with a USB headset for two way communications, but if you're looking for professional quality super-low latency, I can't answer that. If it's a low power device that doesn't need split second timing you should be fine.

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!

No lag, just make sure you don't run your audio cables near magnetic/electrical interference or there will be constant hum, sometimes popping noises. It's a been a great external card so far. Basically turned my laptop into a 5.1 entertainment system. Combine it with some decent Logitech 5.1 speakers and you're all set. Also, I would recommend K-Lite Codec pack on your system to get the most out of this.

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.

I use this for my pc to 2 different tvs. It looks great i play blurays on my pc. I dont think this is what you want tho. Its not a switch its a splitter. There is nothing to switch inputs

I do not notice any latency now. When I first installed the keyboard and mouse there was too much distance to the usb transceiver. In that case there was latency and sometimes just no response at all. Once I moved them closer together, it has worked fine ever since. It seems to work fine with 2 to 2.5 feet separation but more than that is a problem. Also, the transceiver was kind of buried in the computer case and somewhat shielded by the case.
