I've read about that delay on some but not all sets. To date there has yet to be any fix other than to change set because the HDMI handshake (the delay is mostly there) is a factor of the HDMI chipset and not any code by the maker.

I have a chromecast connected to a Samsung UN55HU6840FXZA. It seems like when I cast a movie from my phone to the TV it wants to show it is disconnected on the TV for a minute and then it kicks on. The old TV would switch right over to the Chromecast and start up.
Any ideas on the best way to go from watching regular TV over to Chromecast with the smallest delay?
