HDMI cable help

I bought a cheap version of a microsoft HDMI cable for my 360 slim. I set up my 360 on my HD tv and plugged in the cord. When I started to play my games, I noticed all of my movements seemed to lag. My internet connection is fine, and when I say "movements", I'm also including navigating through menu's are delayed. Pressing any buttons for actions are delayed. Even on the dash board, delayed.

THOUGH, when I put my 360 back on my older tv, which is a bit smaller wth crappy picture quality, but enough for me to play, everything is smooth and pin point as a it should be. Does the delay have to do with the cable itself? The HD tv's resolution? I have changed the resolution in the past, though it still felt off.

Step One.
Plug off HD TV.
Step Two
Throw HD TV out the window.

Digital tvs have a delay because they put the power of computer screens but forgot to put the super high frequency needed for input. HD TVs have delay, and crappy data transfer connections further enhance that delay.

OH, one more thing you clod. 360 does not render games in HD. useless to connect it to an HD tv.

To have a clearer picture, I thought the whole point of having an HDMI cable was to get a high quality picture through the use of your HD tv

and since HD tv's do cause a delay, what tv's out there that are recent, and have good quality monitors?

PC MONITORS. TVs HAVE NOT COMPENSATED FOR THE QUICK INPUT NEEDED IN VIDEO GAMES.

If your tv has a game mode, use it. or go back to using an SD tv, because the input is lag free.

Ah ok, well this cord was money wasted

thanks a lot dude

Waaiiitt, we have a secondary problem

I have zero knowledge with video capture cards, which do you prefer? Guess I'll try my xbox on my laptop monitor
