Now I'm curious runqvist... which screen do you use for your gaming?

On my computer, living room tv/projector or workroom tv?

The one you use with your console, of course.



As someone who only uses WiFi, this isnt a problem.

I can play FIFA, CoD, Halo, Uncharted, etc. online with no problems at all.

You don't even know the exact models or their input lag and you come here nitpicking about 4-8 ms or paying 15$ to play with 0.1ms of lag, not to mention that I'm pretty sure that none of those screens have less than 1 frame of lag?

You should sell one of those and get one from this list.

How many VG$ are needed to be able to dance the Busted dance? I'll be Vanessa if needed.

Well, I say this all the time.
If it's that such a problem for you, don't buy the system.

I believe it won't be a hassle for 98.3% of the consumers and the ethernet adaptor will solve some 1% more for those users, bringing the total of satisfied users to 99.3%.

If you're one of the 0.7%, really, don't buy it, but also stop saying it's a big problem.

But all the people whining about it in this thread are really big Nintendo fans who can't imagine living without the system and its exclusives. I mean, look at that one dude who's buying five systems. On launch!

You did not ask for exact models, but even if you did I would not probably bother to tell you. I do know the input lag for my newish tv, it is ~15ms without picture processing. That was measured when the tv was calibrated. I did know the input lag of my monitor too, but can't remember it. The lag from internet connection is a bigger issue, because most of other players have that roughly similar input lag and the extra time your command travels to the server is off from your reaction time.

My tv is not yet tested there, it will get there some time. :)
