How do I fix skyrim latency

[Gravitygrim]

When I play something like COD BO2, I hit 1 to 5 ms latency. I use a TV, not a monitor. When I play GTA V, I hit 5 - 10 ms. However, in Skyrim I hit 20 - 25 and it's completely unbearable. Is there a way to fix this without getting a monitor instead of a TV?

Why do you use a TV as a monitor in the first place? I find it rather hard to play with my TV in front of me unless I sit on the couch.

Does turning down any of the graphic quality settings make any difference? If you have a different available video interface on your TV (ex., mine has VGA and HDMI) does switching to a different input or input type make any difference?

I'm going to buy a monitor, but I don't quite have the money yet. The solution that i'm looking for is going to be a temporary one until I get my new monitor

My GPU has HDMI, DisplayPort, and DVI. My TV has HDMI, VGA, and RCA. I can only use HDMI, because that's the only relation that the 2 have. I don't own an adapter.

Are you outputting the same resolution with Skyrim as you are the other example games?  Also, did turning down graphic options such as MSAA/TSAA, texture quality, etc. generate any improved latency?

 

Does your TV have a game mode on the very slim chance activating that will improve the speed?

UPDATE: I've got a new monitor that runs at 7ms latency, and it's still very bad, as it usually runs at 16ms latency.

Changing video settings does nothing

WAIT. My 7ms monitor is actually hitting 16ms latency on all my games now. WHY.
