Hey guys,

Just spent a lot of money - for me anyway - on a brand new LCD TV which is giving me major lag on both the xbox and wii - and we cant play anything, its enough to just be unusable. My brother bought the exact same TV on the same day I did and is having no issues with the playstation which leads me to think this may be an issue with the AV. I have done some research on other forums and they basically say its the television and there is nothing I can do about it - which I refuse to accept as they have worked perfectly on at least 3 other lcds. Is there anything I can do? RCA to HDMI converters or anything?

I need your help, this is completely tragic for me. You cant just buy a new tv that doesnt work with anything.

Turn off any image enhancement features of the TV.

Depending how you have the wii plugged in depends on how good the sensor bar will be.

If you are running the wii through a amplifier there will be a huge lag with the remotes and sensor bar. Try plugging the wii directly into the tv and see how that goes.

Otherwise take your wii over to your brothers house and see if it works on his tv?

The TV is an LG 42LX6500
The wii is plugged directly into the television via standard rca.
Have been pretty extensively through the tv menu and there is no where obvious to change the resolution of the picture etc. There is a game picture mode but it doesnt effect the response time. We have changed the settings on the xbox console which seem to be ok but we have only tested it on burnout thus far, so the issue really is the will. We have tried wii sports, dance revolution and guitar hero, none of which are remotely functional with a second delay in response time. We have been through the wii console settings but you can only really change the motion censor location.

yer, its most likely going to be related to the refresh rate

wii has a few display modes (50hz/60hz) try them also

try different av inputs as well, the tv should have 3 or 4 sets of them

i use component cables for my wii (cost like $20 extra or something)

also, see me if you want to get your wii modded, prolong the life of your wii originals!

Ok, have put the TV in game mode which automatically turns the tru motion off - no improvement. Im going to go buy a component cable now and see if that helps at all :|

did you try the different display modes on the wii?
