fixed some video lag

Something was off. Thought it was my stick at first.

Have you played Guitar Hero? It has a built in lag tester. Download the demo, and then go to calibrate lag. It's not perfect, because you need to press buttons right on time. I'd do it a few times to test each settings consistency.

You're supposed to check all your hdmi ports because some might be better than others (for some reason). Mine were all the same as far as I could tell.

I read somewhere you should have your xbox set to best quality (or whatever it's called), instead of 1080p. Tried that and left it. Don't think it improved anything, but it's a sound concept. Something about games being in 720 anyway, and saving the console the trouble of fake upscaling it. I also read you should change the hdtv itself to 720, but I haven't tried that.

Finally tried "game" mode on my hdtv. I read somewhere to avoid it, but it halved my lag from about 20 to 10 (average: tested multiple times). I had adjusted the game mode picture settings at some earlier time, because my mode was called "game(user)". I set it back to defaults and it took my lag to zero.

I find the further I move my game mode from default settings, the more lag I'll get. This isn't thoroughly tested though. I was able to turn down the sharpness with very little to no adding of lag. On my LG HDTV anyway, It's all about the game mode.
