There is lag on HDTV depending on the settings. My son notice the lag (delay) while playing Guitar Heroes 3 (ps2) as the timing was wrong. The lag is not there in Game mode which makes me wonder if the lag is coming from the HDTV "upscaling". (PS2 as well as Wii would be upscaled). My HDTV upscaling is just as good if not better than PS3 upscaling which helps DVD look better.

Also note that upscaling a SD game on HDTV will make jagged edges more noticeable, kind of the opposide effect of anti-aliasing.


 Bingo.

 

The lag was entirely caused by the scalars. Response time in MS has absolutely nothing to do with game lag. Respsone time is measreument of how fast the panel can go from all white to all black.  A better response timer means less ghosting. Newer TV's (last few years) are all digital so they have much better scalars so there should be no problem with any brand name bought this year. 

A 4ms panel with a crappy scalar will lag. A 20ms response time with a good scalar will not lag.

 



Trying to convince me the Wii is a real adult game machine 'if you play it right' is like trying to convince me Tofu tastes great 'if you just cook it right'
