Any lag from the receiver? My question is, when I hook up my 360 by hdmi to my receiver and then to my TV, does that create any significant lag for the picture to be displayed?

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!

I did play a game through the 360 game system and did not see any lag or skipping of the video. Everything appeared to be normal. (I guess the fps that your talking about is the frames per second.)

This is easily possible as long as you also purchase an HDMI splitter too as this card doesn't have HDMI out. I have mine setup to the Console is connected to a 1x2 amplified HDMI splitter with one output running to the Capture-card and the other running to my Television/Monitor. As long as you get an amplified splitter as opposed to a passive one you shouldn't receive any input lag.

I've noticed it in SD (using Dish Network) but not in HD yet. I'm thinking it's because I'm just using the RCA that came with it, but even without the HDMI cables the picture is fantastic. Can't wait to see the HD and SD channels and Blu-Ray with the HDMIs

My HD come through a Direct DVR through a Denton A/V receiver to the Viera all HDMI cables. I have seen no lag, instant response.

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

Yes, The optical output to my Receiver works great! I had the same worries before I hooked it up. The HDMI cable went to my HDMI TV and the optical cable I had went to the receiver for my room soundaround speaker system. The TV speakers work also if you don't want to play the receiver, a earlier mention in another post said, he could not get his TV to play sound out the speakers.... NOT true the sound still travels thru the HDMI cable to the HD TV even with the Optical cable plugged in and ran to the receiver. The sound does not designate one or the other and comes out both. I just keep the volume on my HD TV to 0.

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.

William: Since you've had the 9040 for a week now, could you please be more specific and give us some details about what you have experienced? Does it do a great job of upscaling non-hd material to 1080p? I plan on buying one, but need to hear from someone how it performs when hooked up to an HDTV and/or Home theater system.? I would appreciate any additional information you can provide so I can learn a little more prior to pulling the trigger on this a/v receiver. Thank a lot William.

I haven't specifically tried call of duty, but I have played other computer games (including FPS games) and I haven't noticed any lag. I run an HDMI cable from my computer through a receiver and then to the TV. I output at 1080p so the TV/receiver isn't doing any scaling.

Hey my Friend, Thanks for your imput. Just want to get a clear understanding about HDMI and Composite connection differences. My HDTV is 3 years old with composite only connection. Will HD DVD give me 1080i reception capabilty. I now have the Dish 622 reciever and get HD quality no problem. Simply put does the Toshiba HD-A1 HDDVD player have composite connections along with HDMI. Hope I've made myself clear enough. Thanks Much ... RD

I don't notice any significant lag. It connects wirelessly instead of via infrared. That may help reduce the lag. I'm running it on a TiVo Premiere.

i have not tried the "Game Mode" but latency / lag didn't seem bad when I used HDMI cable from my laptop. Of course the HDMI limitation slows it down a lot but I will test it more when HDMI 2.0 update is released.

I use my PS3 with this TV, I don't notice any input lag. It's a great gaming TV in my opinion.

The only lag is the time the V image shows before tuning in. I don't use its tuner, but, when trying it out, I had no issues. I watch everything through the HDMI from ToVo, DVD, etc. Love the unit so far.

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.
