HDTV and Online Gaming Lag

[The 1 2 P]

I just bought a brand new 32' LCD HDTV from Best Buy. The pictures great and it plays my games fine, but when I play online theres noticable lag. For instance, when shooting a gun in Halo 2 or even jumping, the shooting and jumping action are both delayed by atleast a half second. My tv set is in
720p and Halo 2 plays in 480p, like most xbox and PS2 games. My question: is there anything I can do to play my xbox 1 games online without them lagging? I heard that the 360 upconverts xbox 1 games but I don't have a 360 yet so I need an xbox 1 solution.

If it only happens during online gameplay, perhaps you have a slow internet connection causing the problem? Comcast and Timewarner are doing some nasty "packet shaping", which is port capping in a nutshell.

We're talking about 90Kbit like caps...

HDTV lag and internet lag are two separate things entirely. I thought you were describing HDTV lag at first, but if it only happens online, then perhaps your internet connection is the problem. Do the games play fine offline?

It's not internet lag. I never had lag with my other tv that I just replaced with this new one. My old tv wasn't an hdtv or lcd--it was a 27 flat screen sdtv. My internet connection works better than fine and I can connect to anyone at any fast speeds. But since I put my new hdtv up I just started experiencing lag, but only online. Theres got to be a solution to this.

Nope, it's not my internet connection. I've been on xbox live since 2005 and my 27 inch tv never had this probelm. It just started with my new 32 inch lcd hdtv and only happens online, not offline. So it's an online-hdtv-gaming problem. Now that this has been made alittle clearer, dose anyone have some helpful advise I could use?

The only thing I can think is that the online mode of the game may switch the console to a different resolution, but I doubt it.

If it's HDTV related, why would you only experience it online? Maybe it's happening off-line too, but you just don't notice it? Maybe?

I played both online and offline to see if the problem was with both. Offline the game functions normally but online there is a delay from the time I push the buttom until the time my gun shoots or my player jumps. And this never happened online before, it just started with my new hdtv.
