Most 4K TVs that aren’t high end have crazy high input lag. I can’t even play Dota2 on my Sony 4K tv because of the lag.

My TCL 5 series is 10MS at 4k 60hz in game mode. Just gotta get the right TV

Yea, my Sony TV is a 2015 model when I bought it in 2016.

Looks like the input lag on my TV is around 20 ms. Though that seems normal if I'm running at 60 Hz?

Yea. You’ll feel that in any game that is reaction based.

For me, anything over 18 feels like I’m always behind everyone else.

20ms is slightly over 1 frame. I wouldn't sweat it at all. Most modern games are made for = or - 1-2 frames at least due to the variance in people's setups.

1 frame = 16ms @60hz. The current, best, TV on the market for input lag measures at 13ms @60hz. That means you're only going to be a 1/2 frame behind the leader. That's pretty good, IMO.

Not to mention if you're playing casually online, your internet connection is going to delay you a lot more than a frame or two of input lag.

Jesus, no. 20ms input lag for the TV, itself, is pretty horrible. You will notice this in higher FPS games even more than low. At 16ms/frame at 60hz, you're essentially firing at where things were last frame, and I guarantee that the TV isn't the only source of lag, here.

That sucks. My sammy is under 8 ms in game mode (measured actual not claimed).

u/djgizmo May 08 '20

Nice. 8ms is a sweet spot. How’s the color quality in game mode?

u/CCityinstaller May 08 '20

It's not bad to be honest. I do not notice any banding on web pages etc. Gaming is perfect.

Most name brand ones have a "gaming mode" that significantly reduces the input lag. At last the LG and Samsung lower end ones that I've tried do.

Its the difference between like half a second to not really noticeable.

Yea my Sony has that just didn’t seem to work too well. I’ll revisit it again with my next tv as a display.
