Title: Wiimote Speaker Pre-Lag
Post by: the1st_fret on June 08, 2007, 07:31:20 AM
I wasn't Sure where to ask this but I thought this would be the best place.
I just wanted to check the timing of everyone elses wii mote speakers to situations on the Wii.
I just bought a new TV and the timing of the Wii mote speaker noises are completely different on this TV to the other. So which TV was right and which was wrong, and which timing situation is right and which is wrong?
On the internet channel: Highlight a clickable object, my wiimote speker clicks first, a split second later my tv's speaker clicks. On my old tv, both clicked in unison.
Its not just with the internet channel, although this is my best example, this also happened on Wii sports and Excite Truck, it seems the mote is ahead of the games. Although in Wii sports this does sound better in a way and more 'depth of soundy' So I was wondering. Which is right? Are the sounds on screen meant to be in sync with your remote or is your mote meant to be a little ahead? Please help. I'm just a little confused as its only happened with this TV. Thanks.
Dan.

Since the signal should be sent at the same time I would err with whoever gets its first myself.

Yeah I thought it seemed weird. Doesn't matter. I think I'll stick with my old LCD, but whats causing the lag on the Plasma?

Would upscaling cause that? What else would create lag?

Yeah, the lag would be with the screen. Some Plasma TVs (and I think other HDTVs, too) delay the picture 'slightly' which doesn't work great for video games.

What kind of tv did you get? I have a Panasonic TH-42PX60U, also a Plasma. I had heard about that lag as well but have yet to notice any issues with the control or sound on the remote for that matter. I'd think the remote would be the first to get the sound and its the tv lagging, unless someone else has a reason why not.
