Would this be acceptable for Video Games? Specifically, how much lag is there?

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.

It does have a game mode and this is an absolute MUST to even try it - Make SURE game mode is on or you will be severely disapointed. With game mode on, I've found that non-fast-action games (i.e. - Super Mario) works fine. For fast action games/first person shooters, it works but it's not perfect. For a casual gamer, you probably wouldn't notice any lag. For the hardcore gamer than can tell the difference between a 1ms lag and a 3ms lag, you will notice the latency - but it is playable.

didn't specifically time the lag time, I would say it certainly has to much lag for video games.

I have never used it for games, but there is an option to select a game mode instead of the theater mode. Hope this helped a little bit.

No lag at all! Then again I have it connect to the BenQ RL2455HM gaming monitor.

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.

Don't get this to play games with it. There's a noticeable lag when playing games. It's good to use for normal computer use.... But I wouldn't recommend gaming with it.

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.

Yes and no. Streaming audio and most video should be OK... But if you want to play a hardcore fast action hi Def video game I think the lag and occasional choppyness will be a showstopper

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.

Extremely well, though I do recommend allocating some virtual RAM. I can run Sony Vegas, iTunes, and Firefox all at the same time with no lag.

I personally have this running off my PS3 onto a 135 inch screen. I have zero issues with lag and my picture and 3d viewing is amazing. Video games are unbelievable. Buy it and don't think twice.

Yes it will. I was successful in using on xbox 360 with no lag. I was able to play games that require very precise timing like guitar hero and COD with no trouble.

It should work well, since you already have the minimum config for it to run. I have seen it running on a 1 RAM, and 1.7 ghz, thus you should be fine. All you might get is a 5,5 ms latency, but that is nothing to worry, since it is a reasonable latency and will run fine.

While I have to 60" version, I have not had any lag or ghosting issues during gaming sessions. I haven't played call of duty though......

Yes. But if you are looking to support the very latest games, at the highest speeds, then it may not be what you want. It will run them but not as well as the faster machines with very high giga hertz video cards. It is very very good but not the cutting edge now. I hope this helps

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 not sure how it would be with that particular program but I do know that it works really well for movies, video and gaming. My son and I play minecraft and skyrim on it all the time and have no lag or filching problems.I hope this can help a bit.

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.

Yes, there is a noticable lag if you play FPS games. I got mine last Christmas and was disappointed with the lags. I had to turned on the game mode to play borderlands and Dark Souls but it lost the picture quality by doing so.
