Yes and its my understanding that RTC is not used on ANY of Panasonic's ALPHA versions, with the exception of maybe some larger screens, although that's just a rough guess on my part. Now in regards to their other IPS panels (non-alpha), RTC is being used from what I understand.
The ALPHA versions are not available in 2012. Only plain old IPS (allegedly IPS LG panels). The ALPHA versions from my understanding also had a panel lottery in 2011. Some were LG IPS, and others were ALPHA ips, which would explain why the same model could have 10ms of lag in one test and 31ms...
Thanks guys for all your help thus far. I understand how hard it is to find a decent lag-less TV, so hard in fact, that you have to get lucky at times with a search, and that's virtually what happened to me recently.
A week or so ago I found (and purchased) a new TC-L32X1 on eBay. And like you...
Let me make it simple. We gamers refer to input lag as both something we see and feel.
For example, your playing Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and if you don't dodge Mike's split-second uppercuts, you will go down in 1 hit. If your HDTV has enough input lag, your dodging ability may be perfect, but...
Thanks. I guess its kinda like CRT HDTV's, which had lag due to upscaling/post-processing.
Here's another quick question: Do you know of any device that would overcompensate or compensate for lag? For example, the Guitar Hero games have a setting that compensates for panel lag. Does a device...
Here's another good question. Based on what you have seen with OLED technology, will it be the ultimate when it comes to little or no lag? (considering hunting down a 16:9 CRT and waiting until OLED arrives unless the Samsung Series 5 has input lag that is unnoticeable for me)
Alot of the things you typed went over my head, mostly because it was very very derivative and not explained fundamentally. If you can give me the "Fundamentals" (ie; the forest, not the trees) for what causes input lag, then I'll be able to much better understand the derivatives (ie; the trees)...
There are two different reasons for lag, and either one or both can contribute to the overall delay on an HDTV.
A] Scaling/Deinterlacing: The HDTV is fed a signal different from its native resolution. The HDTV experiences a processing delay while scaling the signal (example: 480i signal from...
Ok....so based on the specs of the UN32EH4000, UN32EH5000, and UN32EH5300, which one would you think would have less lag? The lower end 4000 model which is 720p?
Full specs are below

Back in the 80's and 90's I never had to worry about this crap. I would find a tube TV with a great picture, take it home, hook up a game system, and WHAM I was playing my NES/SNES games without a second thought.
Nowadays I have to worry about lag, motion blur, black colors, resolution...
I've heard that Panasonic HDTV's are the best for input lag, but, looks like such isn't true. 34ms input lag on 32-37 inch.

Wow....I'm about to give up. I've nearly exhausted myself...
Just a quick question. I found a review for what I believe may very well be the 32" Series 5 "UK" version, here ---> http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/samsung-ue32d5000-ue40d5000-201112121567.htm?page=Calibration --- and it claims to have 16ms of lag (don't know what method they use to measure it)...
I just wanted to say that while Samsung HDTV's probably have the best picture quality (maybe I'm wrong on this), the TV that I need doesn't HAVE to be Samsung brand, it can be Sony, Panasonic, etc.
Just remember this TV will be mostly used for gaming. More help needed (At the moment of me...
Where did you find out that the Series 5 have less than 1 frame of lag? I'd love to read about it. Thanks!
So internet features is the primary difference, and no real differences between lag and blur?
Here's the barebones Series 5 --->...
