Hello everyone. I recently purchase a VIZIO E420i-A1. It's my first HDTV and it works really well for just about everything. The only "problem" i've come across is PC gaming on it. When I play games with my Xbox 360 there are no problems with lag or anything. But, when I play with my PC, it is horrible. I did find the "game mode" option in the settings menu and turned it on, but that didn't solve the problem.
I am running through HDMI on an Alienware M14x laptop with an Nvidia Geforce GT555M.
I have run the Batman Arkham City benchmark on both my monotor and my HDTV with the exact same settings and at 1080p (native for the TV and my monitor). On the monitor I get an average of 38 FPS, while on the HDTV I get about 20. Further, when actually playing the game my monitor's FPS is right around 32-45, where as the HDTV does even worse then the benchmarks, frequently dipping all the way down to 8 - 10 FPS and averaging around 15 or 16.
Any ideas? Is this TV just not going to work for PC gaming? Like I said, I'm surprised that I have no problems with the Xbox 360 (runs like a charm!) but the PC is horrible. The one thing I haven't done is try a different game then Batman AC. Perhaps it's the game?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
