I had heard that input lag in Battlefield 3 is greatly improved by lowering the output resolution of your PS3 to 480p from the default output resolution of 1080i. In an effort to show this, I took videos at each of three output reolutions: 1080i, 720p, and 480p, slowed them down to 1/4 speed, and then stitched them together into one clip. Games were all multiplayer Rush maps with at least 16 players on east coast servers, which should be the best for me. Where I see a slight improvement is not so much initiating a turn, where all seem to have a little lag - it's in ending a turn (which is key to accurate aiming in an FPS game). To me - the 480p seems to stop turning a little more accurately. Bottom line is that I will probably continue to game at 480p in BF3, as I do seem to play better at that resolution. Now if I could just stop accicentally going prone by pushing down on the R3 during a gunfight maybe I could get my KDR above 0.7 - lol!! You be the judge. Note that not all systems are the same! I am running from the PS3 through an HDMI switching receiver (which passes signal straight through - no upconverting or anything) into a Sony HS20 High Definition (1080i) Home Theater projector. Some have reported very low input lag on newer systems that have a "Gaming" mode.
