Posted by Paleface on July 15, 2020 at 12:30:07 EST in reply to If a game was analog SD, or slightly more than SD in the case of VF3, the game is tuned as a package. The PCB, the display, the controllers. Anything new has to go through HDMI land. If it’s a new game it’s tuned in HDMI, the console and the arcade are no different. I don’t think it’s possible to port VF3 to anything without at least a frame of lag and on most people’s setups it will be more like 4. For the casual fan that’s fine but for hardcore Akira players it’s quite likely a deal breaker. This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Even with MVS the difference between analog CRT and literally any other display is noticeable. My least laggy HDMI display still lags. My laggiest is just unbearable. (n/t) from SignOfZeta.
I have a pretty cheap, by now rather old HDMI monitor and its latency is somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 ms--that's 3 milliseconds, not 3 frames. It has some silly mode that does add about a frame but I turned it off. Nowadays 3ms is a dinosaur, companies are marketing 1ms displays all over the place.
