PC to SmartTV normal delay?

[jaymes2015]

When using your TV as computer monitor, is the screen delays normal?

I've been using my 60 inch Samsung Smart TV as my PC monitor lately (through HDMI) and I noticed there is a tiny 1-2 seconds delay on the screen, the TV gets a split seconds delay.

I'm wondering if this is normal or is it just my devices? Anyone noticed the tiny delay while linking PC to TV? Or can I fix the delay to no delay?

It can be very normal. It is even an issue with console systems. With the game Rocksmith that I have, it directly tells you in the manual that there might be a delay.
The nice thing is that most newer TVs have a 'game mode' which addresses this issue and reduces the latency. With my TVs at home (LG and Coby) and that setting on, I don't exhibit the problem. It should be in you main display menu. Here is an example screen from a 2014 Samsung TV menu:

I still experience the small delay/latency by just surfing the web without playing computer games. But I haven't thought of the game setting you mentioned. I just hope my TV has the game setting.
