One reviewer said there was some lag with video. We want this mainly to work with a small television. Any other experience with lag and TV/video?

There is no delay in the Sony speaker system, but some video players or methods of Bluetooth transmission may induce delay. Most quality video applications account for the difference in transmission delay due to buffering, but Bluetooth is not like a hardwired connection, so it will depend on your source. If you connect to the Sony by a audio cable there will be no delay.

No lag through my computer or through my computer/apple TV. I haven't tried direct connect with TV.

I had delayed sound ( ~1 second) when I first paired the speakers to my computer. This did not happen again after restarting the unit.

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

I've used it for gaming (both PS3 & PC) and I haven't noticed any lag. I've been playing FPS, third person shooters, platformers, etc. I've also used it with both the game mode on & off, and haven't had any issues.

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag.On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI.Any info would be appreciated!

Yes,I just finished a season of nhl 14 on it. Im playing a torrent of guardians of the galaxy right now. There is no such thing as lag.its an led projector. Bulb last 2000 hours. I also have my dish network hooked up and regularly watch live sporting events and it easily rivals my 50 inch Samsung plasma TV in the same room. ...even during the day. GET IT. GET A SOUND BAR WITH A WIRELESS SUB AND YOU ARE GOOD TO GO FROM FOOTBALL TO GAMES to your PC I have had 4 projectors over the years. Perfect for the money...mine is set at 170 inches from about 10 feet away. Perfect!

Mark, I just connected mine to my DVR via component cables and am experiencing no noticeable lag while watching TV. I suspect, however, this is because I am using my soundbar as an HDMI switcher. In other words, my DVR, DVD, etc. are all connected via HDMI to the soundbar, which then has one HDMI cable out to my TV. I think this creates enough of a delay in the signal that the picture is now in sync with the bluetooth transmitter, which is connected directly to the component hook ups on the DVR (i.e., NOT connected to the soundbar).

Mine is sitting in the junk room. Most of the time the audio came through just fine for me. My issues was that sometimes the audio was so far out of sync it wasn't even watchable. It's a great concept, but a total POS in reality. Like Clayton said, try updating the drivers and see if that helps. I gave up on mine though. A 15' HDMI cable is cheaper and way more reliable.

Even if you use WiFi, the streaming is fast and reliable. I've had it for a long time now and never experienced any lag. It's just the menu that's very slow. It's fine if you know what you want to watch, but it's like being on dial up again if you are just browsing.

I have had the same frustrating experience, although I've not experimented with the same array of equipment as bwalter. Quite simply, I have a Pioneer Blu-Ray and (52") Plasma. And whether it's a Blu-Ray playing or a DVD being upscaled or a Region 1 or 2 disk, there's sometimes a video lag, but only sometimes! What I gather is that the plasma screen takes a little time to process its data, but it can be INCONSISTENT: It will sometimes shift within the same disk, which is why I've hesitated to buy an outboard audio delay controller. As bwalter asks, why is this problem not being seriously addressed, when clearly across the net there are many people posting complaints of this nature?

There is no video lag on television programs or transcribing television material. I am not a game player so am unable to directly answer your question.

No, I don't experience any lag of the sound to the video. I use it to record virtual organs with Hauptwerk.Works just fine! :-)

I haven't noticed any lag and my games worked perfectly. I'm using one of the HDMI slots. I haven't switched to Game Mode (to my knowledge) as suggested in the other response, but will try that to see if that makes a difference. Very happy with this Samsung.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

Tv's just aren't made to run like computers. However, I use mine and I don't have any issues with its performance. It's runs just like I expected a tv should.

By lag I assume you mean doesn't match the video. And for one of the connections when my boyfriend was setting it up he said it did lag and later he said it went away. I trust his opinion because he edits commercials professionally for a living and so he is somewhat of an expert. The fact that it doesn't now is baffling to me. I just dont have time in my life to fix unreliable products. I need to plug and go. Hope that helps some.
