Bigger Tv = Problem For Gaming?

most led TVs have a 1 sec lag when playing games

that doesnt sound right

I think you mean 5ms refresh rate

This is actually somewhat true... Many HD tvs have image enhancing filters applied to them, which takes a while to process and isn't noticeable in movies.. however, when playing, it is!
That's the 1 second lag, image enhancer... However, those tv's most often have something called "gaming mode" in the menus... look for it, it will speed things up

It still doesn't sound right...

You guys are underestimating how long is 1sec. It's pretty damn long, when it comes to lag/refresh rate.

I don't underestimate how long 1 sec is, however, I am thinking that the 1 sec explanation is an exaggeration...
So, if the TV in the OP is a samsung at least, it DOES have lag!! It's an image enhancer, (Not the upscaler or anything, a straight forward enhancer, making it look "better"). It can be turned off by turning on the Game Mode. Game mode disables the enhancer, and just put the game on.
The enhancer is meant for movies and television, not gaming.

Read Hadrian's post. With image enhancing/processing/upscaling, there can be a significant delay between the input signal and the output video.

Mind you, upscaling is only needed for lower quality video. HD video (from the console) doesn't need to be upscaled to HD (duh).

How is what a problem? A second of lag? Pretty much of a problem probably... Made it impossible to play guitar hero for me at least.

oh that, you know you can adjust that on most tvs.

I know... That's what I said a few posts above
