Yep, as a Dance Dance Revolution player, flat screens were pretty unusable from 2000 (at least for PS2 games) until recently because of lag even on settings that "minimize" it on upscale. Similar issue for emulation: for the SNES games on the Wii emulator, the game was much harder because you have to adjust for noticeable lag between your presses and the response. I also saw that on the Virgin in-flight Pac-Man: with their emulator, you have lag that makes the game harder. I was able to get a lot farther on the first try by playing on a classic machine.
