HiBeats ProductionsParticipantI have a Sharp Aquos 42" LCD and I’ve having the ‘gaming lag’ issue many have had with the consoles.
It’s a very slight lag which is making my gaming very fustrating indeed. I know what’s causing it. For some stupid reason the Aquos doesn’t accept full 1080p/i from component RGB cables, only from HDMI cables. Unfortunately I have an older 360 model so I don’t have the HDMI output that the new consoles have. This shouldn’t normally be an issue because the included component cables are perfectly capable of full HD, it’s my TV that’s the problem.
What I’m doing at the moment is having my Xbox transmit a 720p signal through the component output. This would normally not be a huge issue apart from the obvious lack of quality. My problem is that the Aquos TV’s native resolution is 1080p, and so when it’s recieving the 720p signal from the Xbox, it has to interpolate it into 1080p first, which is killing me because it’s taking too much time and producing lag.
The other thing that produces lag is the apparent image-enhancement that most HDTVs have which is fine when watching TV or DVD/Blu-ray but it also creates a delay which is bad for gaming.
Now, these are my options: I could borrow my mate’s console because his has an HDMI out and see if connecting my TV up that way would eliminate the problem.
But for a long-term solution I was thinking of purchasing a component to HDMI converter box. That way I would have the component going from the Xbox to the conveter and then from the converter have an HDMI cable going to the TV. Theoretically, this would eliminate my problem but my question is…
Will there be any noticable lag using a component to HDMI converter? And also does anyone have any advice for me as to what to do? Will using a converter box actually work?
If anyone could help me out here it would be so much appreciated.
