What's the input lag for gaming? Especially when using HDMI. Thank you.

I use one of these TVs for my PC gaming, and another of the same model for Xbox 360 gaming. I haven't noticed any issues once properly configured (See Game Mode answer from Samsung rep on this page).

Cecilia,There is a game mode that can be selected for any of the HDMI inputs by "editing the input", and changing the option to "Game" that will greatly reduce lag usually associated with picture processing.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

There is a bit of lag if u play FPS games but with this you cant play 1080p new games FPS, for video and movies is grate and lag isnt a big worry there , if u want real ms lag its aroudn 3-7 ms depending on cable. Hope it helps

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'm assuming the picture lags behind the audio, which is fairly common with HDMI. Use the A/V sync feature on the receiver (it's under Audio Adjust); 40ms is usually a good starting point.

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.

The VGA I had it hooked up to for a day or so seemed fine, but I did not play any games on it. You can pick up a VGA to HDMI cable conversion for $8. Not sure if that would alleviate any potential issues.

No lag. In either mode. I suffer from constant connection problems and randomly the sensivity spikes 100x. Stick with what you got until their next wieeless

From CNET: Update: In Game mode the Samsung showed a relatively poor input lag measurement of 107.5ms. But there's a "trick" that allows it to achieve a much more respectable lag score of 53.1ms. To use it, select an HDMI input from the Input menu, go to the Options menu in the upper-right and rename the input "PC." Doing so allows it to achieve a better lag score. Also, search for your model at this site http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ It shows a lag time of 62ms and rates it OK. I like video game and am planning to buy this TV. I value the picture and tv/movie viewing more than the video games. I'm going to chance that this TV will be acceptable for gaming. I will reply back if input lag for gaming is a problem.

I have played Xbox 360 and PS4 on mine without any lag or banding. I have zero complaints with this TV.

HDTV's sometimes have a lag on the display caused by picture enhancements over HDMI--this is also apparent when playing video games. Put the TV in "game" mode so the response time is faster.

This is easily possible as long as you also purchase an HDMI splitter too as this card doesn't have HDMI out. I have mine setup to the Console is connected to a 1x2 amplified HDMI splitter with one output running to the Capture-card and the other running to my Television/Monitor. As long as you get an amplified splitter as opposed to a passive one you shouldn't receive any input lag.

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

I see no ghosting when using VGA or HDMI. The only motion blurring I see occurs with composite, and that is largely because the TV's post-processing is applied bit by bit to each successive frame (which is good for reducing input lag).

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.

This set doesn't need a gaming mode!! I have a Xbox 360 hooked up with HDMI and it has no delay what so ever. I even have the TruMotion on and it doesn't have any lag. And games look amazing with the TruMotion turned on.

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...
