Interesting. You'd think HDMI would be able to use ARC to send a signal back, since the TV would know the exact moment it is displaying the image.

- Wowfunhappy 8y agoYou could also solve the problem with a hardware database. For instance, I know my projector is delayed by 22ms because multiple reviews mentioned it, so that's the value I use in Project Diva. You can't find this info for most TV's. Unfortunately, no one with the resources to really tackle this problem seems to care enough to do it. I should also note that what many games do do is offer some type of user calibration, ie, press the notes with as good timing as you can manage, and we'll assume the average is the amount of delay in your setup. This kind of works sometimes, but it's imperfect for obvious reasons.
- brokenmachine 8y agoActually, thinking about it again, the reason it isn't sent back via ARC is probably because actual lag time seems to be something that manufacturers don't want to share. After going through the rigmarole of choosing a new TV recently, TV manufacturers seem very keen on discouraging actual comparison of specifications.
