What sort of games are you playing? Latency sensitive genres like FPS, or more RTS / turn-based games? Also, I find it hard to believe that the refresh latency of a TV is greater than Internet network latency. Do you have a source for that? And even if it’s true, wouldn’t that only exacerbate the problem if you’re playing a cloud game streamed to your TV?

Platformers and some FPS style. > Also, I find it hard to believe that the refresh latency of a TV is greater than Internet network latency. 2017 TV models have input latency between 12 and 69 ms in "game mode" according to [0]. The situation seems to have improved considerably, some older models I've tested were up to 100-140 ms. When I tried to ping google.com, I generally got about 16 ms avg. $ ping google.com PING google.com (172.217.21.174): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 172.217.21.174: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=16.403 ms 64 bytes from 172.217.21.174: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=15.492 ms 64 bytes from 172.217.21.174: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=16.880 ms 64 bytes from 172.217.21.174: icmp_seq=3 ttl=54 time=16.249 ms > And even if it’s true, wouldn’t that only exacerbate the problem if you’re playing a cloud game streamed to your TV? Well, in this particular case I was using a laptop instead when playing remotely. So it kind of offsets it.
