Recent 65 inch Bauhn 4k TV Gaming Question

Hi Guys,

Just wondering those who purchased the aldi $1200 65inch 4k TV use this for solely console gaming? Do you notice any severe input lag? I bought a hdmi splitter and hooked up my GAEMS monitor and there is a huge huge huge delay when I move my character, does anyone know if there is any settings on the TV to reduce the input lag? I already upgraded the firmware and have motion flow and noise reduction turned off, I was thinking about returning the TV but the box has been destroyed and the last day to return it is tomorrow….the TV is great for watching movies, but for gaming it is just horrendous.

    Read from: User #146325 (search in browser) downwards, there are many comments on lag and many theories on how to lessen the impact:

    alittlelewd:

    "a simple 4k upscaling hdmi cable is available

    I'm looking into it, I had no idea such a thing existed and it's getting me excited as a fix to the input lag issue from 1080p sources. But from what I can find, 1080p 60hz sources can't be output as 4K 60hz (only 30hz).

    Has anyone got one and could confirm if it works to reduce the input lag, so that console gaming becomes a lot more friendly on this TV?

    Found a cheap eBay 1080p to 4K upscaler:

    But like all the others I can find it will only output 4K 30hz. I'll keep looking for one that can do 60hz as that's pretty important to me if I'm going to be using it for gaming."

  • I purchase those upscaler and it doesn't help, I even bought a really expensive $100 one

    Just burning money at the moment…..I remember reading that someone said this TV can output 120hz at 1080p, The main thing I do is console gaming so it's pretty depressing that I got this massive tv and I have to use the small 18 inch GAEMS one to play console games on.

    I am hoping bauhn will release another firmware update to address input lag, there should be a game mode which turns off all post processing activity, it would've been nice if there was a function to disable all smart features so that this TV can function just as a TV with minimal input lag.

  • It there a "game" setting in the display options on the TV?

    You want to avoid using any fancy 'smart' colour/display options:

  • na there's no game setting on this television, console gaming has so much input lag that playing any competitive game is definitely not possible on this TV, I actually returned the TV last week to aldi, I don't recommend anyone picking up this TV if their sole usage of it will be to play video games.
