You are ignoring the overscan areas on top and bottom of the transmitted images the DPs expected our old 4:3 tube television sets to trim.

So here's the results from my highly un-scientific testing. Take it as you will. Audio Calibration Old DLP: 48ms New Plasma: 2ms Game Mode: 9ms Video Calibration Old DLP: 91ms New Plasma: 24ms Game Mode: 43ms I tested the plasma both in my normal settings, and in game mode, and surprisingly game mode seemed to have slightly more lag. I see no reason to ever use game mode. I finally got around to hooking up my Xbox again and popping in Rock Band. So here’s the results from my highly un-scientific testing. Take it as you will.

Audio Calibration
Old DLP: 48ms
New Plasma: 2ms
Game Mode: 9ms

Video Calibration
Old DLP: 91ms
New Plasma: 24ms
Game Mode: 43ms

I tested the plasma both in my normal settings, and in game mode, and surprisingly game mode seemed to have slightly more lag.

I see no reason to ever use game mode.
