(...) who buys a nice 40" Toshiba 1080P TV and then complains about how hard it is to play Mega Man X on it because of the lag Even I find myself ridiculous at times hahaha Funny thing is I even thought about the fact that my TVs in the future will not suffer from this input lag thanks to 120hz. I truly believe that my SNES will outlive everything else that I own. HAH priceless True story though. Mega Man X on the SNES is hard to play because of the TV (!)
lol big TVs rule! I play at home on a widescreen 40" LCD and literally sit only 4/5ft from it. It's awesome! No lag what-so-ever. I'm stuck in hospital with a 14" Visitron (i.e. high quality ) LCD which is 4:3. Wii sports resort is almost impossible to play as often you find yourself off the edge of the screen, and split screen mario kart is a nightmare! Do you want to swap?
Hate to get techy but I don't see how this would make a difference? Refresh rate and response time are 2 different things are they not? Or am I looking at it wrong. All I want out of a HDTV is one that's a nice size, 1080p, and doesn't look like a steamy pile of crap compared to my Dell 2209WA, seriously what's with all the dirty looking blacks on TV's lately? T_T
True, in this case a better response time would do the trick, not a higher refresh rate. However I find it hard to believe how high the response time is on TVs. I haven't tried that many games yet but it really makes quick games impossible to play I still love my TV though
Wonder why we haven't seen that yet in marketing from Samsung....... From my experience the older systems, SNES and earlier, look better on newer sets as they had simpler cleaner graphics for the most part. Course N64 has Goldeneye, so it's a tradeoff.
I dug out my snes a couple weeks ago. It's just as fun now as it was back then. Input lag is a problem, though. It makes the game more challenging, though
19" 10 year old toshiba crt Cheesecake, and it plays mario on n64 fine. Just found out that the bit tech forums turn "f t w" into "Cheesecake" loving it.
I've got an excellent low lag 32" crt you'd be welcome to collect on receipt of your clearly faulty plasma
! I didn't think of that and the difference is quite impressive ! weird edit: the response time seems somehow faster but I know it's just a trick because there is some crazy tearing with the option ON. It's still cool however because it makes old school games actually playable
it'll be an overdrive setting that pushes more voltage through the pixels, bit-tech did an article on it a little while ago, apparently it can cause a kind of inverse ghosting but im not sure about tearing
well it's weird. On a second thought it can't really be defined as tearing because it's not "permanent". The image just "jumps" sometimes it's very hard to explain. It doesn't matter though, it's just for the occasional snes game
This is probably the only reason why I still have an old 30" Sony Trintron at the shop, for those old games.
