I have a problem with playing my super nintendo on my HDTV. It looks great, but I had noticed a slight shaking in my screen. Would this box stop that?

Let's assess the situation a little further. Presumably you mean your 'old' super nintendo on your 'new' HDTV? To start with, your 'slight' shaking sounds like a calibration bug, probably in the nintendo, but possibly in the HDTV. It probably didn't display it's bugginess in older analog equipment because your digital TV has much smaller, more exacting tolerances than what it replaced. This HDMI convertor would be most likely to amplify the distortion/transient frequency causing the 'shaking'. It is possible that an RMF modulator like the one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Audiovox-Corporation-CRF907R-Compact-Modulator/dp/B0014KKV7W/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396961448&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=RMF+convertor http://www.amazon.com/Philips-SWS2103W-17-Moduator-Converter/dp/B001UYUNSE/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396961448&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=RMF+convertor could possibly clean up the signal before feeding it to your HDTV. Mind you, it will feed the signal to the TV as channel 3 or channel 4, by using a Coaxial cable to the TV. Your TV ought to downgrade it's receiver to analog reception and automatically abandon it's digital 'ghosts'. Before you start pulling plugs, check your HDTV menu -- audio menu -- make sure it's set up for PCM (I believe that's what it's called) which is only 2 channel audio (or two front speakers plus sub-woofer). Your TV's default setting may be 'surround' sound, and unless you have a surround sound theater sound system, the digital processor in the TV may be generating the unwanted jitters due to high decibel game console audio input. Lastly, if you do try to use this HDMI video convertor, it does only support 2.1 digital audio and not surround sound. Given the age of the super nintendo gaming console (isn't it older than Windows XP, for which Microsoft just discontinued support today?) maybe you'll consider saving your money for a newer console, or an actual gaming PC with dedicated graphics processing onboard.

I'm not sure about the Super Nintendo. But it works fine with my Game Cube. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Almost certainly, it would not. I suspect it might even make the effect worse, because I had so much trouble using the unit with a VCR (only played bits and snatches of NTSC sourced video in 'high definition'. I saw more blank screen than content until I rigged the VCR to play through the tuner.Video standards are never perfect, nor would I expect a super nintendo to be able to source perfectly realistic (or smooth) HD content.

I received mine in the mail today and I was unable to get it to work. I haven't yet tried to troubleshoot the issue, but the screen jumps around quite a bit.

If I had to guess it's a handshaking issue with the player and the TV (and HDMI thing). When you stop viewing a movie and go to the disc list, there's a clear change in resolution and you occasionally see the screen flicker for a moment. That's the handshaking occurring. Do you have any devices between the TV and changer, like an HDMI switch or a AV receiver? If you do, those could all play a part in this. If you have different components between the changer and the TV, try powering them off for 10 seconds then back on when you experience the problem. If it corrects the issue, it's likely a handshaking issue and it may be as simple as trying a different brand of HDMI cable, something newer, though it could be more complicated where the other components are the problem and only replacing them in going to work. Sometimes adding a powered HDMI amplifier or switch can correct the problem too. There are lot of different things to that may work. Start with the cheapest solution first (different cable) then move up from there.

My SD DVDs did not look good either. The upconversion to 1080p cause the picture to "jitter" slightly, but noticeably. I went to "video output settings, selected hdmi (which are the cables I am using), manually set the output to 1080i....and the problem completely went away. My SD DVDs now look as well as they did on my old players.

Are you sure you are watching on the correct output? AV rather than cable or something else? We have had the same problem with the wii on a different TV and switching the chosen output solved the problem.

Just out of curiosity what do you consider to be high response times? I use this with my 360 all the times and have not really noticed anything out of the ordinary. The thing I really don't like about this LCD is the overscan issue, which is noticeable with games. Do you have that with your DLP?

It depends. Like most HD televisions standard definition looks fine. If it's a tv station make sure your cable box is a HD box otherwise it will be fuzzy. Other devices such as consoles look fine just not as defined

The latest firmware has not solved the HDMI problems, however there is a very simple solution to it. It's a bit annoying, but if you unplug the receiver then plug it back in the HDMI handshake problem goes away, at least for the current time you're using it. Not a permanent solution, but it works for the moment.

I would test the TV by using a DVD player to see what the picture looks like. If there is no lines then it is the box, but if the lines are there when using a DVD player then it is the TV. Also check the cable between the box and the TV it could be bad and causing the lines. Most boxes either work or they just quit all together with nothing showing.

Both Guitar Hero and Rock Band can be calibrated to get rid of the lag. Its not really an issue with the TV, you just have to calibrate those games with your TV and speaker systems. I have a 3 year old Samsung 46" LCD TV and these games work fine for me. The calibration settings should be in the main menu.

Yeah I have noticed that someone always has a problem with there game consoles. I was looking at my other option and someone was having a problem with their PS3. My primary use would be gaming and blu ray so I am cautious to sink five hundred plus in a system and not have it working fantastic. I probably will still get this one and hope for the best. I hope you figure out the situation.

Agreeing with David. The only drawback I get is a VERY slight decrease in the viewing quality on the TV, thus games are still very playable. It does not affect the quality of the recorded video at all.On the flipside, if you own a big TV that's connected to a game console through HDMI and there is input lag, hooking up the Hauppauge to the TV's components and the console will eliminate that input lag.

Every once in a while the TV seems to suddenly be out of sync. Not real often, but it does happen. I have a cable box hooked to it with an HDMI cable. Changing the channel, up one and back down for instance, syncs everything back up. I have to wonder if the audio or the video signal path inside the TV is the real problem. (All the motion processing, etc.) This by the way is using the TV audio. I don't recall it happening through home audio system but I'm not saying it hasn't either. Anyway I'm hoping a software update will fix this down the line.

Slight. Yes, Im that guy using a ps2 with monster component cables. There is a microscopic lag, but not enough to worry about. Even fast fighing games, Doa ran great, as did other twitch games. Games look better if they are 480p, but 480i (most ps2 games) is acceptable. Im playing Final Fantasy 12 on this tv(480i) and it looks great.

Hi Loretta, sorry to hear this. have tried other inputs like DVD/BD player, computer, game console, cable box? have you checked your physical cables for loose connection? have you tried changing physical cables from your devices going to your TV? -Vincent

I had an issue where the switch would randomly change away from the active input even when no other inputs were powered on. Support said that adding power can help with that and sent me a plug for free. It didn't end up fixing my issue, but at least they were pretty willing to help. I ended up finding out that the Wii U was apparently sending a little something over HDMI even when powered off causing it to switch away from my active input. I removed the Wii U from the switch and put the Xbox 360 in its place and haven't had the issue since (with apple tv, 360 and PS3 as the sources)

With updating the firmware and putting the tv intl game mode I have noticed only minor lagging at time compared to before the firmware update. Turn off motion smoothing also helps.with studdering during game plan. Certainly not the best tv for gamers but overall game play isnt a nuisance either...
