i am going to use a gateway computer monitor to play xbox 360 on and it has a hdmi port i have got speakers, it looks nice its big enough
i was wondering if the response time is fast enough for gaming and all of the other specs. here they are.
Ultrafast 5 ms response time
UltraContrast 2000:1 contrast ratio;
300 cd/m² brightness
1680 x 1050 maximum resolution;
160° horizontal and vertical viewing angles Digital DVI input supports up to 720p content;
standard analog VGA input;
HDMI input for connecting HD components
16:10 aspect ratio for a cinematic widescreen viewing experience
Displays up to 16.7 million colors
Answer
Looks great. The response time is better then what I have, and I use that computer for gaming. It should be no problem.

1080p Hdtv video game lag?
Oliver
Ok so I've just recently gotten a sharp aquos 60 inch tv and when i went to play some video games i notice a fairly significent lag between when i move the controller stick and when the tv reacts. I'm pretty sure this must be a frame rate issue. My gaming console is an xbox 360, and for anyone who plays online games 1/4-1/2 of a second can make a big difference...and its also very annoying. Is there anything I can do to help with this...please let me know. Thanks.
Answer
The problem is not the vertical refresh rate. Aside from the game itself the other major contributor to input lag is the video processing that occurs within a fixed-pixel display (and on a graphics card where applicable,) combinedâto a lesser extentâwith the sample-and-hold nature of a fixed-pixel display. It must be noted that not all fixed-pixel displays contribute to input lag equally, therefore consumersâparticularly gamersâneed to choose wisely.
Ideally, in an effort to reduce âinput lagâ the key is to eliminate (or minimize) all unnecessary video processing throughout the signal chain, especially within the display. A substantial number of flat-panel TVs are now equipped with a âGameâ mode and/or âPCâ mode that disables much of the unnecessary video processing. Lacking Game or PC mode options one would have to manually disable as many of the various video (processing) modes as possible while still utilizing the most accurate picture mode. When possible you should always attempt to set the resolution of your video game to match the native resolution of your display in order to greatly minimize unnecessary video scaling operations. (Hopefully youâll end up using a âsquare pixelâ format such as 720p or 1080p.) Video scaling can consume a substantial amount of computational video processing power, particularly when using non-square pixels or converting from non-square to square pixels or vice versa. Please be aware that you are likely to run into EDID-related problems that could prohibit you from matching your selected game resolution to the native resolution of your display when using Sharpâs PC mode. PC-compatible modes are usually limited to standard PC graphics modes which often do not include the ideal square-pixel HDTV modes: 1280Ã720 or 1920Ã1080. If so you should experiment with using alternative video inputs such as âANALOG RGB (PC IN)â or analog COMPONENT (Y Pb Pr) or attempt to bypass EDID on your HDMI connections through various means.
Specifically with respect to Sharp LCD TVsâ¦, you should start by setting the VIEW MODE to âDot by Dot.â (Though beneficial when viewing movies, 1:1 pixel mapping modes such as Sharpâs âDot by Dotâ mode have a greater potential to cause image retention. However in your case it shouldnât pose much of a problem with an LCD TV - itâs easily the lesser of two evils.) Next you should set Optical Picture Control (OPC) and the following functions in the Advanced Picture Menu to Off: Fine Motion Enhanced; Active Contrast; Film Mode; and Digital Noise Reductionâ¦all set to Off. Also disable the Power Saving function as well. Using the Game or PC modes will automatically disable many of the same video functions listed above but you should double-check to be sure. You may also want to experiment with using various inputs as those can sometimes result in a noticeable difference.
