    I have a great Samsung tv that has all these ports. It’s maybe a 2015?

    The lag is noticeable on the old games… Anything I can do??

      If you aren’t aware already, most TVs have a dedicated “Game mode” that helps to sync the video and audio and reduce visual delay.

        That’s usually available with the modern digital inputs.

        These “in-between” TVs that had the analogue inputs and digital inputs can’t display an analogue signal directly, so they have an internal ADC inside, and given how TVs are always using the cheapest integrated media chips, just imagine the latency introduced by one coming from ~2013, 2015.

        If you want actual low latency for analogue, get an analogue only CRT.

        Motion interpolation seems to be the main lag culprit.

        Makes it look like it’s running at 120fps. Plays like it’s running at 20.

        Switch that off and most modern 4K TVs are basically a monitor.

        This won’t really help for really old analogue stuff though. Nothing will. It still needs to get the whole image before it can display it. Best you can do there (short of original hardware and a CRT) is emulate and use runahead to get a few frames back.
