It all depends on the refresh time of your TV/Monitor.
Most large screen HDTV's carry a lag of 6ms +
If response time is what you're aiming for you'll need a TV/Monitor that has 2ms response or less .
Personally I use Monitors for gaming over HDTV's since you get EXACT resolution, not a stretched to fit density.
Regarding the VGA and HDMI on the same system with 2ms response.
VGA is quicker. It's a direct output dedicated to only video since audio is carried through a separate signal.
Right now I use an older 22" Samsung monitor with 2ms response time using the 360 VGA out plug.
I play Super SF4 with a joystick as well. I get no input lag using the VGA cable.
If you're using a PS3, you're SOL unless buying a custom vga out module which can get pretty spendy. -

my tv claims to be 3ms( 2-4 i forget) but when playing on my ps3, i can definitely feel the drag. so wut ur saying is i should get a vga cable, and a thing that connects the vga to my ps3?

ya i have a monitor too which i use at my mom's house. its great. but i like being able to see small things*cough* campers *cough* and big tv's are just easier for me to use. i tried using the tv down stairs but that thing lags like a mofo. iv read about this "renaming HDMI2 to PC" trick. what i understand is that ur supposed to set hdmi2 to a pc port? idk i did that and didnt feel a difference.

ur monitor is either too small or thats a personal problem. ur alot farther from a TV than a monitor so in the end i think your field of vision is better with a monitor... -

man i dunno, i always see u complaining about tv refresh rate, you must have some super saiyan eyes or something
i dont perceive those so called lags on any tv, cant tell the diff between hdmi and vga
i think it sucks living with eyes that sensitive -

tbh
have u ever played on a TV where you did NOT have any problems...
cuz every tv you played on had a problem... maybe the problem is you, psychological maybe? maybe you're not playing well and ur brain is subconsciously blaming something else other than ur skills
the only time i feel lags is when i play guitar hero on aother tv and im missing notes i know im not missing usually. but its really the game telling me its off, not my eyes -
