High Definition Television

Question by sortovhere: Why does my Xbox 360 gameplay seem to lag when i hook it up to my big screen?
So, i have a smaller non flat screen tv in my bedroom and i play xbox on it all the time, earlier today i hooked my 360 up to my flatscreen in the living room and it tends to lag. it’s hard to explain and it’s not a mess up with either of the systems it’s just the fact that it doesnt move as fast as it would on my smaller tv. I’ve tried switiching it to “HDTV” mode on the cords and i went through all the menus on the xbox but it still throws off my motor skills when i shoot the gun, run in any direction, etc. and as i said before, it’s not a lag as if the screen freezes for a moment or anything of that nature, the gameplay is fine it’s just the fact that it has a slight pause (maybe like 0.001 seconds) but i can feel it and so can my friends that play the game all the time.

All xboxs do this when hooked up to a bigger tv, especially HD. To fix it you need to calibrate it. You can do this by going to the menus in any game your playing and going to the video options. There should be something about using an HDTV and calibrating it.
