I just checked the wii.. with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I am noticing the lag but it’s a lot harder to notice. NSMB does require less reaction time than black ops, but you can really notice it when you’re trying to time jumps. I believe it’s about the same. I don’t really know a better game to test with other than guitar hero- but even that game requires calibration on almost all hdtv’s to work properly.
I’ve read different threads that say that Panny’s GT30 models are great for gaming (which is the one i’m looking at). Unfortunately I can’t find anything specifically for the PZ750 but rather the 550 and 950. From what I’ve read the 550 is crap on input lag but the 950 is good.. I’m guessing the 750 took the low road being the in-between model.
The point is Input Lag exists and it varies by model and by manufacturer. So don’t get in a bind like Lemm did- research the tv you are looking to buy with different forums / interwebz to see what the Input Lag is / how good it is for gaming. A lot of people recommend taking your gaming console / setup to the store when you are going to buy it.. Seems like a bit of a hassle to me.
