I live in Ann Arbor, in one of the UofM dorms (If you want specifics, feel free to PM me).

I play all of them, but I prefer Melee (as do most people I thought)

I just bought a 1080p Samsung LCD TV for my room. So you guys are saying standard definition TV's don't have any ghosting?

Ghosting is sort of like input lag.

Ghosting is actually the trait of a bad LCD TV. It involves after-images because the LCD's pixels can't change their colors quickly enough to deal with the action.

Standard definition-ness doesn't actually have to do anything with input lag, it's just whether or not it can natively support 480i (standard definition)

Standard Definition TVs aren't free of ghosting anymore than an HDTV, as long as it's LCD. What's the real killer about most (and I mean, I guess it's possible for there to be a counter example to exist, I've just never seen/heard of such an example) HDTVs have a native resolution of around their max resolution (1920x1080 in the case of any 1080p TV). However, since a Wii only outputs 480i, it can't just dump that on the screen. It's gotta resize it, upscale it, do all sorts of image processing to it to make you think you've got a better TV than you do, and then dump it out onto the screen. Typically this takes between 24 and 64 milliseconds, which equates to a very perceptible difference in gameplay for those used to playing well on CRTs. Note here that pretty much any CRT can do this without lag, as there aren't little ****ters that need to make up the pixels, so they can **** well support whatever resolution they want (assuming their ray guns are precise enough). As such, most (if not all) HD CRTs still have no input lag, and almost all LCD, DLP, Plasma HD TVs DO have input lag.

btw, this "Input lag" refers to the perceptible time between doing an input and the expected time to see the outcome on the screen. (if it takes 34ms to processes a frame of video, then the input delay will be 34ms because the image is displayed 34ms after the tv receives it.
