How to fix PS3 slow controller response with LED TV?

led tv best image

Paul

We just got a new 55 inch Samsung LED TV, and when I tried to play Call of Duty on it, I immediately noticed the slower response between the controller and the game itself. It is very frustrating so I've just stopped playing it until I find a way to fix it. I've tried plugging it in, and that didn't help. Any solutions?

Answer
This is called input lag. Basically your TV is delaying by some fraction of a second between when it receives the signal and when it displays the image, to apply various visual/processing effects intended to make the image better. Obviously when you're watching a movie or TV, no problem. But it's a big problem when you're gaming.

The first thing to do is check the manual and see if your TV has a game mode. Game mode essentially runs the TV without all the fancypants filtering effects, thus reducing the lag. Hopefully this will pretty much fix the problem for you.

Other things to try... An HDMI cable might help, as it's likely faster than a component. And if you don't have game mode, you could probably play with the settings and turn most of the effects off manually. Again, your TV has to take time to compute those effects, and that's what's causing your delay.

What are Full HD and HD ready with regard to LED TVs?

We are planning on buying a new LED TV; however, we are confused as to whether we should buy a full HD TV or HD ready TV. Do they really have to do something with the quality of video aired by TV channel stations?

Answer
This is a very confusing terms. Let me explain the story:

In the US - there were lawsuits over the type of antenna signals. TV Makers had a problem. If they included tuners designed with 1 type of antenna signals and the format changed, the televisions would not work with an antenna. So they started building and selling televisions WITHOUT tuners. This worked great for people with satellite or cable box's who did not care about using an antenna, and consumers who did want to use an antenna could buy an external box for .. $150.

This caused confusion so they made a law that these televisions had to be called "HD Ready".

This had nothing to do with 720 or 1080 or "full HD" - In the United States.

In Europe and India - the term could mean something different. Learn this before you purchase.

MY ADVICE:

IF the screen size is below 40 inches - you can get away with a HDTV that is native 720.

If the screen size is above 40 inches - get the 1080 version.

Hope this helps.

What is the new Samsung LED TV about?

best led tv in the market image

What is the new technology behind the samsung led tvs? Does the screen actually use LED to produce the picture? If so how much better is the quality?

Answer
sorry tvtech1 is off just a little bit.
LED LCD tv's are not OLED tv's.
there is only one in the consumer market, sony makes it and it is only 11 inches, larger models are expected probably in 5 years
this is the only difference between a regular LCD and a LED LCD
all LCD tv's prior would use a white fluorescent lamp for the backlight. the problem is there is one lamp and it has to be on all the time. the tv uses filters to create blacks and shades of whites and blacks. since the light is always on, this is why LCD tv's have a lower contrast ratio. it is very difficult to filter completely and depending on the quality of the filters, colors can blend and mash together.

on the new LED LCD tv's
instead of the white lamp backlight, there is a sheet of thousands of LED's behind the front screen which provides the backlight for the tv. since the tv can control each LED(there are red, blue, and green LED's) it can turn them on and off in sections which causes the higher contrast levels and more accurate colors over a regular LCD tv.
the LED LCD's are getting on par with plasma tv's in regards to the contrast and color accuracy

the only concern in the market right now is that LED's burn out inconsistently and since the tech is fairly new, it is unknown when this will start to happen, which will cause issues with the overall picture. will it happen in 3, 5, 7, 10 years. manufactures do not know at this time

What is the difference between an LED and LCD TV?

What is the difference between an LED and LCD TV? Which one is a better choice for the money/time it will last/overall best picture? Also, must be able to get TV in about a 20in or so in size. And what would be the best brand and good price?

Answer
LED TV is just an LCD TV that uses a LED backlight instead of a fluorescent one. This helps alleviate the problem of poor color fidelity that LCD's suffer from, but does little to help poor black levels, response time, and viewing angles.

At around 20 inches, I would recommend a CRT for best picture quality. Resolution is NOT everything. Most people think resolution is a lot more important than it really is. So as long as space isn't a major constraint and you're not going to be using as a computer monitor, I'd recommend a CRT at 20 inches: where it lacks in resolution it more than makes up in response time, color fidelity, and contrast. Plus it costs up to 50% less than a comparable LCD.

http://www.memorex.com/products/product_details.php?PID=50706 This is one of the better 20 inch CRT's currently on the market. $160 at Target. I own one and am very satisfied with it. It's got 10 watts of power output, which is not only excellent for a TV of that size, but respectable for ANY sized TV.
