  • define system lagging

    • yep. is it stuttering, or framerate drop, or freezing, or simply very slow response? any artifacts?

      • its stuttering and slow response whem typing and using mouse.

        • sounds like an issue with ur pc. have u tried other monitors? does the tv work well by itself? dont think its cable they give artifacts if faulty. check cpu usage in task manager.

        • Wireless keyboard and mouse?

          • @brendanm: yes got a wireless keyboard and mouse

              @[Deactivated]: It's definitely the wireless peripherals if you're sitting at a regular tv-watching distance away from the tv

              Try using a wired keyboard/mouse and crane your neck upwards to see if that fixes the problem

              Had the same issue ages ago and fiddled around for ages with refresh rates and hdmi ports before I realised that it was the wireless stuff

                @Happyhazard: Thanks buddy. It was Wireless mouse/keyboard issue. the range wasn't good enough so i had to sit close to the pc unit and it worked flawlessly.

            • @[Deactivated]: Try wired. I get issues sometimes from wireless, especially if something usb3 is also plugged in for some reason.

  • what resolutions have you tried?

    • recommended 1080p

      • On the video card resolution….

        1920x1080 at what Hz ?

        What model tv ?

        • its 60hz.

          its is Soniq thats 1080p @ 60hz capable non smart.

  • Is the screen set to 60hz for sure? Some TVs have this hidden in menus. 30hz will feel terrible!

    That computer should not lag.
