1. The first step we recommend taking is to make sure your PC and/or game system is directly connected to your LG television. Connecting these to a HDMI pass-through device, such as a capture card, could introduce noticeable lag.
2. Furthermore, you should keep the firmware of your C1 or G1 up to date as it may help reduce the input delay.
To update, your TV should be connected to the internet. You can then tale the following steps:
- Press the gear button on the Magic Remote.
- In pop-up menu, go to All Settings.
- You then need to go to Support.
- Next, go to Software Update.
- Inside the Software Update menu, you can start a firmware update manually and/or enable automatic updates.

In order to do so, you need to do the following:
- Press the Home button on your remote.

4. You should also make sure that you have the correct Game Optimizer settings to reduce the input lag of your C1 and G1.

In order to do so, you need to do the following:
- Press the gear button on the TV remote controller.
- Go to All Settings.
- Go to Picture.
- Go to Advanced Settings.
- Go to Clarity.
