    However, I've used an ATi TV Tuner and the lag is unacceptable.

    My ATI Elite (nice card!) on my PC does lag when playing games (I tried out Xbox on it). I do not use it for that but I did check it out. The best thing is to connect directly to the monitor.

    Obviously you are talking about laptops. Since there is no VGA in, I will have to check this out. I am courious when I get my TV tuner card with my HP dv5000z, how the lag will be....

    Check out the review for the Gamebridge @ TeamXbox...

    I need to read it myself.

    Edit: It does not do component...weak... Just like the reviewer said...I hope they release an HDTV version...

    l read that there's a 1 second lag between for example pressing a button on your controller and it being shown on the screen. lf you download Dscaler though it will fix that and the lag will be gone.
