DLP has a slight delay when gaming. We always had to adjust guitar hero properly to the timing in order to play on expert.

that might have been the HDMI actually.
My dad's tv, the movie speech is about .5 seconds behind the video, unless you switch out to a different input and back again. then it syncs up.
HDMI is a bit finicky it seems. Happens to me with live TV on occasion.

yea I thought it was my surround sound, then I thought it was my cable box. COX actually educated me about it... Amazing, I know... lol
keep the TIVO going, but switch away from the input on the TV then back. it should fix it.

I have no idea if I am on top or behind the ball, but for my birthday PinkHat got me a 46" Sony XBR9 which, since my previous TV was a Costco $399 glass hunk-o-crap, is the best thing I've ever seen The Bravia 3 series (your XBR8) is best in class and appears to have broken through the ghosting barrier by quadrupling their frame-rates and adding 3 additional FPS, according to Sony. Its nemesis, the Samsung LN52B750 has apparently surpassed this limitation as well. The Samsung has a 2ms response and 150K contrast ratio compared to 5K on the Sony, but it's very hard to tell the difference at anything over 3K IMO, and the Bravia is loaded with cool new Internet-ready features. At about 6-7ms response times you "should" be able to see most movies without any video lag but at 2ms the rendering is ahead of all video content. The official top models for '09: http://www.smart-review.com/hdtv.html. I believe Macs also have an insanely high contrast ratio with sets them subtly apart from other contenders. |

But I love a good DLP for movies though, better blacks than LCDs and light technologies will always have an advantage over liquids and gasses IMO. After they fixed the DLP "rainbowing" issue it came of age me thinks. Rainbowing: @nutballs DLP though, the color wheel can be seen. It's been fixed for at least a year. |

@vs: Actually I have to qualify because now I remember correctly and DLPs were precluded from consideration because I could not get anything but a flat TV up the spiral staircase into the TV room. Now we've moved and I'd forgotten my original motivation for going flat only. Still, there's a reason Sony refuses to use DLP. The reason? It's all about $, not quality: http://sites.google.com/site/sonylcdrptvproblems/sonyrearprojectionlcdtv-opticalblockFurther, the new ultra-"thin" DLPs can make it up most spiral staircases, but LCD/Plasma wins the survival of the flattest. |

@vs: DLP is 40+ year old tech.
I have a Pioneer Kuro Elite. It's a videophilegasm. That's whacked. But next time I blow 6K on a TV I'll consider it, unless I'm concerned about that annoying plasma-glare that shows a crisp picture of what's behind you almost as well as what you're watching  Seriously though, I looked it up and my jaw hit the floor when I saw the specs. Totally whacked and it must be a criminally pleasurable video experience. You're an honorary member of SACIDR  |

I love that it has little pixels that act like orbital sanders, constantly scrubbing the image so that the pixels are literally incapable of burning themselves into the display.
You can tweak as much as you want to, or set everything to auto and tell it to make itself look pretty. It does an awfully good job of making itself look pretty, even to my discerning eye.
