I'm sorry I haven't played much of any online games in this machine. The Machine is awesome I love it even with 5200rpm hard drive and windows 8. I'm not going to upgrade it to 8.1. If you buy this upgrade the Wi-fi card that should help. Hope this helps. Good Luck

I play online games all the time and I've never once had a problem with it!!! This is an absolutely amazing computer and have had no trouble playing any game

It should be fine unless you are in a big game with a lot of other players It says broadband required if you aren't sure I would go to Battle.net and get some feedback from Blizzard. It's a great game if you love Diablo2

I noticed lag when using movie mode. I started using game mode for gaming and there is no lag.

This game has updates every other week or so and yes you need an internet connection to access those. We play it on Xbox however.

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.

i'd say yes, if you play offline with ur friends, especially 2 vs 2. online on the other hand not so much. The servers are really bad, and sometimes you feel that the game is too unpredictable, the better player will not win online, it all depends on the AI and whether there is lag or not, and a lot of matches will have lag even if u have the best connection possible. my advice, either rent it for a couple of days first or buy it pre-owned.

I don't play games much either. But I also have AT&T; and I experienced some lag playing online games. This little adapter helps, but if the games your playing require more speed than you may have to upgrade your service. Sorry wish I could tell you more.

Yes,I just finished a season of nhl 14 on it. Im playing a torrent of guardians of the galaxy right now. There is no such thing as lag.its an led projector. Bulb last 2000 hours. I also have my dish network hooked up and regularly watch live sporting events and it easily rivals my 50 inch Samsung plasma TV in the same room. ...even during the day. GET IT. GET A SOUND BAR WITH A WIRELESS SUB AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO FROM FOOTBALL TO GAMES to your PC I have had 4 projectors over the years. Perfect for the money...mine is set at 170 inches from about 10 feet away. Perfect!

I only played Skyrim on it, but noticed no lag as long as it was in Game mode.

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.

This is a little late but it may help anyone looking in the future: Wireless isn't the most stable consistent connection. Its great for generic internet but gaming is very demanding. You have the potential to run into hiccups with your connection. I quickly switched from a wireless adapter to this netgear powerline kit. Now the boxes will use the electrical wiring to transmit the signal so if the wiring isn't from one outlet to the other it won't work but it is almost as good as a direct ethernet connection (which is the best option if possible.)

Worked fine for me. What kind of internet connection do you have? And speed?

I haven't noticed any. I am by no means a hardcore player. I play all the CODs online. I think any lag would be due to a poor internet connection since every connection from the 360 to the projector to the screen travels at the speed of light, a few feet of distance either way shouldn't make any difference.

Just wanted to ease some concern regarding the monitor itself. (I bought this monitor so amazon showed me your question) It's input lag is rated at 09ms on Displaylag.com which is an excellent rating. The main reason why i bought this monitor. From my understanding the use of DVI or HDMI should have no real bearing on lag input. I would possibly look into the graphics settings of the game itself or make sure the drivers were installed ok.

I would recommend faster internet than DSL for online gaming, like cable internet. If your stuck with DSL like I am tho, this modem does work great. Its a much more stable connection than what AT&T sold me and works really good with my Asus RT-AC68U.
