I am a former Associate Editor of Destructoid who became INTERNET FAMOUS (er, not really...) for my weekly column entitled "Miniboss Monday." You might've heard of it. It was kind of a big deal. Anyway, I've since moved on to becoming a lurker and playing my fair share of games in the meantime. Oh, and I wear a kilt, love retro video games, and drink a lot of beer. That pretty much sums me up.

WTF?! GH3 "Calibrate Lag" option only calibrates my frustration.
Savant \| 9:20 AM on 11.29.2007	18 comments

Yep. I'm still screwed when it comes to fixing the lag issues with GH3 on my new set. I own two LG LCDs, and both of them have lag issues with my Elite and GH. I've run the calibrate lag tool a multitude of times, both strumming with the video and with the sound, and I can't get it to a happy median.

Does anyone else in the community have this issue? Does anyone have any honest tips on how to fix the problem?

I'm running a 360 Elite with HDMI into the set I just spoke about, if that helps any. (Though I'm sure it doesn't.)

Any help would be appreciated.

In other news, I can pass TTFaF on Hard everytime now. :) (Horribly.)

Yeah, I�ve had some issues as well. I calibrated three times and got three different values. Here�s something to note: in Guitar Hero III, you can set the lag compensation yourself, so if you�re having trouble, I guess you could experiment with different values and see how that goes.

Savant

I need it. I want to nail the solos better in TtFaF, so I'll need it as spot-on as I can get it.

When it is set to 0ms delay, there is an obvious lag. Some LCDs don't experience it, for some reason, but LGs seem to.

It's stories such as this that made me get a projector instead for my home theater (literally speaking). I have never experienced any lag in any of my games and the screen is huge. Unfortunately it seems it's a bit late for that for ya, huh?

But, also, I use a VGA cable for my set up. Maybe you could try that? I dunno the specifics of how they differ and such, though.

I actually had to calibrate the guitar differently for certain songs on GH2, they all had different sweet spots. That was insanely frustrating.

Nodders

I have a Samsung DLP that has the same problem - I have a friend with an SD set who came over to play and was missing most notes, he calibrated 3 times with values varying from 40ms to 120ms - and now with his settings I can't hit a note.

Maybe its the intonation.

galagabug

the only time i ever had to calibrate my tv (plasma though, not LCD) was b/c the disc was dirty. the calibration would change from song to song.. make sure your console is dust free, the disc is scratch free and try again. thru hdmi u shouldn't get any lag.

or maybe you just need more pracitce :)

weedgan

What kind of strings you use dude?

get some .9, .46 gauge boomers, those NEVER lag.

Bob Muir

My HDTV is a CRT, so I've thankfully never had this problem.

BS3 Owner

I hear at Gfaqs people experiencing lag on certain TV's too.

I don't own a copy of GH3 or RB for PS3...

Just thought maybe there would be help for you there?!

king3vbo

Do what I do, use a crappy old CRT

Snaileb

I haven't had to do any of this, thank goodness.

But I got a f'ed up guitar! Sorry.

Hey, my friend had a lag problem, we figured out that, when the audio lag test comes, don't strum, and strum at the other lag test
