Hi.
I'm THIS close to buying two Silver Phantoms + dialog, but keep reading about the Lip-sync issues, when the Phantom's hooked up to a TV.
Is it really that noticeable?
Has it gotten any better after the latest software-updates?
This is the only thing holding me back from buying..

I watch A LOT of movies, using my projector setup and a pair of Phantoms. No problems at all.

The trial route is the way to go, however if you manage your TV's audio and video through an AVprocessor (like a Marantz AV8801/02) then you can adjust the delays for lip-sync in the AVP settings.

In my setup it is very annoying when hooked up to my tv, it sucks. When connected to my receiver box it is not a problem because the video processing delay from the tv is about the same as the delay from the phantoms. Watching movies I use Kodi to correct the delay. So it depends on your setup I think. Cant say the updates made the delay less.

I hook my TV directly to my left Phantom and watch TV.. no sync issues..
I hook my Bluray player to my Dialog and watch a bluray... no sync issues.
If I hook my Bluray player to my TV and the TV out to Dialog and then watch a bluray... i have lip sync issues.
Current: Phantom Silvers, Oppo 105D (Toslink), Raspberry Pi + Digi+, ROON
Pre-Phantom: PenAudio Rebel2, Nuforce MCH-2C5, Oppo 105D (Analog)

I'm using a mac mini to leverage VLC player to adjust lip sync delay when playing content to a cinema projector. mac is connecting to phantom via bluetooth. Works perfect.
