guys, may i know what is input lag? just want to know whether i've experience it or not

Let me reiterate. What I meant is that don't choose or buy a TV simply based on motion overdrive features.
What you want from a TV used for gaming is one with the least input lag and least motion ghosting.

Also when you try to buffer certain moves for a string combo, your timing could be messed up drastically (remember, in fighting games.. even 50ms of input lag is horrible — something third-person shooters are okay with).

Racing games are not so bad, anything under 100ms is considerably okay still.

I doubt if you notice much difference. I played my ps3 on sony 32" bravia lcd (HD), philips 32" lcd (Full HD), Samsung 40" lcd, Samsung 51" plasma, and my personal Viewsonic 24" LCD Monitor. All looks good to me. All the motion, lag inputs, etc etc are just Marketing terms. Essentially all using either Samsung or Sharp screen anyway.

Btw, I don't own those tvs. I just lugged my PS3 around (even brought to a hotel coz cannot tahan being away for too long from gaming )

Actually input lag is very real but some might not notice if the tolerance is high enough and I'm one of them. However I have seen input lag test by comparing few displays side by side from the same source.

so its advisable to turn on the game mode ?

For most of the time yes, but stuffs like JRPGs not really affected by lags

guys want to ask something sorry not sure if it the right thread

can we take out our old HDD from ps3 and slot into a new ps3?

so dont need to do back up or transfer?

the new ps3 will reformat that old hdd

most of the games i played during console time are FPS
and yes.. INPUT LAG is noticable..
when i play with

lg plasma + ps3 resolution full HD = noticable
led samsung + ps3 resolution full HD = really2 noticable
lg plasma + the lowest ps3 resolution setting + game mode = movement very fast and accurate
led samsung + the lowest ps3 resolution setting + game mode = movement fast and accurate

if u play alot of FPS u will notice, even it's just between few milliseconds

input lag is there la..
heck to make it noticable, u try playing the Bad Company 2 in Samsung LED 52inch dont turn the game mode, the play at ur PC monitor..
u will feel the movement in PC monitor will be much more lighter and accurate..
bluff u not mang

Added on July 7, 2012, 6:53 amit wont reduce much..
if u want the maximum less lag input..
play game in Game Mode, then set your ps3 display setting to use the lowest resolution there is..
picture will be like shits..
but movement will be damn smooth and accurate..
i played BF3 at Metro by doing that..
owning all the time..
then after so log watching picture like shit in low res, decided to play on PC..

Question for a pro like you

If I want to play LAN with my friend who has an Xbox360 , I just connect the LAN cable from the Xbox360 to my PS3 ? and connect the HDMI on my PC and connect the other HDMI cable to the T.V .

Am I doing this right ?

PS3 can connect nintendo wii

try rock band or guitar heroes

trying to get the button pressed as accurate as the one displayed on tv... luckily the game has the settings to adjust (auto/manual) in regards to the display's input lag with the music instrument (for flawless play).

if 360 can connect to ps3 via LAN then it will be a dooms day.

Microsoft & sony dah BFF

console peace. no more war. BD rom can play at 360. psn monthly fees Usd60 annually. controller can use both side. hdd can swap here and there. hey not bad at all.

yeahh.... true story

Thanks
