So I bought an LCD TV around six months or so ago. It's nice and small and light, so it's easy to move around, and it's also an HD set, obviously, which is a big improvment for playing video games.

Except for Guitar Hero, unfortunately. I've had my problems when I tried to play through Rocks the 80s, but Guitar Hero III on hard mode is kind of the icing on the cake. The display lag (my calibration pops out at 30 milliseconds or so) is simply too high to play the game with any kind of precision. It might not sound like a high number (certainly a 30 ping in an online FPS would be highly desirable), but for whatever reason there's a noticeable lag between hitting the buttons and having them light up on the screen, enough to make the game barely playable on Hard mode. I got through the first set of five songs, but now I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have to dust off my old cathode-ray tube WEGA and hook that up if I want to play it without aggravation.

C'est la vie. Fun game regardless, from what I could tell. I'm also looking forward to picking up one of those new 8800GTs when they start becoming more available. Anyone have a line on a store that's got them in stock? Ideally there'll be an overclocked one with a warranty around somewhere.
