All screens have that issue but not as bad as it was awhile ago. Also if you have a LCD most (Not all) screens will shut down every post processing effect if you set the input label to PC. Doesn't work on every TV but it worked wonders on my LG.
You can measure the lag by getting a clock app that displays in ms on your laptop, and then outputting from your laptop to your TV. Take a photo showing both screens - the gap in the two clocks will give a good read on input lag (provided that your laptop's screen isn't generating input lag itself!). You can probably get some links on avsforum to clock apps.
It's funny - it's a high end issue in some ways. Lower end screens that do less image processing will have less lag.
The holy terror are devices that have lag and don't have game mode. A lot of the Epson projectors have this problem.
Bottom line: when buying a TV or projector, search the model and "input lag" and see what you find.
Plasmas still have burn in issues. My Viera never had a problem but I took care of it. I read in the gaming side "Capcom Famitsu Announcement" thread that some people got burn in from long Dragon's Dogma sessions. Reminds me of when Pong caused CRT burn-in and Atari touted their new tech that would avoid burn in by cycling colors.

That's okay, I'm used to that. I don't delve into the fiction outside of the games so what actually is presented in-game hasn't really done much for me, green space marine that spouts cheese has to fight off multicoloured aliens to not activate something that kills everything because of space zombies. Oh and sometimes there are hidden things to find that are so obtuse in presentation that they're effectively nonsense if you've only played the games. I'm sure you can get really into these things if you consume a lot of the fiction outside of the game, but solely going by the games so far the stories mean nothing to me other than to give me context for my actions. That's completely okay though, I don't need anything more out of the fun arcadey shootbang experience I enjoy out of it. I get more out of the music and environment design than whatever narrative that's being woven.
It's a pain in the ass to test for input lag, but people tend to clone output to a CRT/near lagless display and the LCD they're trying to test and take pictures of the screen with a stopwatch program running. Like this:
Though every panel is different, never think the level of input lag is consistent across a brand. TVs in general have some lag, regardless of PC modes and other settings to reduce post-processing, but there are some sub 1 frame outliers that are pretty good. Though since this HD generation I've done my gaming on monitors and monitors alone, they're far easier to search for when it comes to near lagless displays.
You need lessons, Rocky montage style.
You volunteering? :_3
Maybe, you can't be drunk though.

Do you play better drunk?
Sober being 0 and passing out being 10, I'm best at Halo around a 5 or 6.

Can anyone from PAX speak for what slot the Stealth mod sits in; Tactical or Support? Gotta know what it can pair up with.

Thinks the Evil Empire is just misunderstood.
I've heard it's not a natural formation.
Well well well, I guess this counts as you chiming in.
New question for the ONI patch then, I'll think of it shortly.

Hmmm, it seems like you can still get pretty high with the jetpack
And on a positive note, I just discovered I only have 2 hours of uni on the day Halo 4 is released! I'll probably grab it in the store before class starts and race home to play that campaign. Should be good!
