Qinux ScryneX for gaming? Input lag question

I’ve been gaming on mine for about a month and haven’t felt any extra delay from the screen itself. I play a lot of shooters so I’d notice. If there’s lag it’s coming from the projector, not the fabric.

We have ours set up in the basement and I use it for gaming pretty regularly, mostly slower stuff like platformers and some racing games. I did try a round of a shooter once and something felt a little off, but then I realized I had the projector in its “cinema” picture mode which does some smoothing stuff. Switched it to game mode and it felt better. So in my case it was the projector settings, not the screen at all. Which makes sense since the screen is just a surface.

The one thing I did notice is that if the screen isn’t pulled tight, the picture kind of ripples a bit when there’s fast motion, which can make it seem like the image is lagging even though it’s really just the fabric moving. I ended up re-hanging mine with the ropes a bit tighter and that helped. Not saying that’s your issue, but it’s worth checking how taut yours is.

Other than that, I’ve had mine for a few months now and gaming on it has been totally fine. Honestly the bigger factor for me was just getting the projector positioned right so the image wasn’t washed out. Once that was sorted, everything felt normal. What kind of games are you playing on it?

Swapped from a painted wall to this screen a few months back and my lap times stayed the same, so I never noticed anything off. If anything my picture looks sharper now. I’d look at your projector’s settings.

I’d actually disagree with the idea that the screen can’t be involved. Not saying the ScryneX is bad, but I tried gaming on a friend’s similar fabric screen once and something felt off to me too, even though he swore it was fine. Could just be how our eyes adjust to the surface, but you’re not crazy for wondering.

Screen material can absolutely affect how motion looks, so you’re not imagining it. Mine was fine for slow stuff but fast pans looked a bit smeary compared to my old wall. Not a delay exactly, just the surface doing its thing.

It’s a screen, not a monitor. There’s nothing in it that can process a signal, so any delay you’re feeling is coming from your projector or your own head. I’d stop chasing the screen as the culprit.
