There is constant lag between the time the PS2 produce a frame on the component cable and the time viewer sees it on screen. The TV does process the image in real time, you don't see any lag in the picture itself, only when you interact with the picture with a joypad. So when I see on the screen that my hot shot golf swing meter is exactly at the position for a perfect shot, for the PS2 it is actually not. With this problem it is impossible or very hard to play time sensitive games. So hopefully Ps3 to HDTV won't do that (Digital to digital) People think I am crazy :-) when I tell them that, but I am not alone : http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2006/2/27/3003 No not the LCD slowness and it has nothing to do with the sound.

Are you just talking about the LCD's inherent slowness? Either way, you can always buy a receiver or pre-processor that lets you delay audio to match any delayed video. This is a high end feature, though. Francois: I don’t know what lag you’re talking about. Are you just talking about the LCD’s inherent slowness?

Those large screen high-def LCD displays look great, but I'm expecting a large price drop and a good feature set upgrade within the next year. If you can hold off until then, it's a wise move. I will probably upgrade to HD sometime in 2007, after I've got some really good PS3 games and hd movies to enjoy. I have a non-HD tv set now and see no reason to upgrade yet.

It really affect gameplay badly. It seems that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem with their HDTV whatever is it a Samsung, Sony, Panasonic etc... Do you think that the PS3 with the hdmi connection will fix this issue? If does not, my last hope is my computer monitor 1650x1050 with DVI+HDPC. I read an interview with Ken Kutagari saying that new HD compatible device will have to deal with fixed resolution display such as WXGA 1650x1050 (he really mentionned this in the interview!). I hope the PS3 will be flexible in that matter.
