I'm trying to play my xbox 360 on an hdtv, not playing on my regular tube tv because im on vacation. the problem is, if i go to turn, it takes a couple milisecdonds to respond, same with shooting, driving, whatever game im playing, and it throws me off to te point that its untolerable. i can still play it alright, but is there some way to calibrate the tv, change the resolution, or how can i make the response time almost instantaneous like my tube tv is.
do hdmi cables help at all? ive tried changing the picture to %26quot;gaming%26quot; modes and every other one it has, but it still doesnt work. help me out pleaseHelp with HD gaming and tv?
This is known as input lag. Some tvs have it worse than others. Basically it's caused by all this image post process editing that it does to make the image clearer. This however is bad for gaming. Game mode should eliminate most of it but if it doesn't get rid of it all, that is most likely the best your going to get out of that tv. Hdmi might help slightly but not worth buying one if you still experience lag on game mode as it will still likely be just as noticeable as before. Check to make sure that when game mode's on that every single post processing feature is turned off. Ex: Cinemotion/120hz, auto blackening features, everything that doesnt have to do with static colour and display like rgb and sharpness and contrast.
