Will component cables fix the Rock Band mic lag on my HDTV?

Posted on 05. Feb, 2010 by admin in Cables

When I sing it is practically unplayable because I hear my voice much later than when I say it. It’s a terrible lag but only on my Sony HDTV. Will getting the component cables fix this, or do I need to get different speakers for it to play through? Please help. I’d really hate to have to get a different TV.

If you’re using composite (red/yellow/white) cables right now, getting the component cables will help as the TV will not have to do as much processing of the signal before displaying it on the screen. Less work = less lag.

Also, check if your HDTV has a ‘game’ mode that you can set. This mode will usually do less processing to the signal (especially audio) and again reduce lag.
