When not using HDMI, do the TVs apply the image enhancement features (like frame interpolation, advanced upscaling methods) which cause a lot of the lag?

I pay $50 a month.
You should really consider switching to WOW if it's available to you. I don't regret it at all.
I've been thinking about paying the extra $10 a month (although maybe it went up, looking at the site) and getting the 1 Gbps service.

No one will ever stream to an "android device" because spoiler, they dont have controllers and touchscreens suck.
TV's usually allow turning on and off the game mode at your discretion, so that would only be a minor bother.
But it would suck if the feature is tied to a specific input.
Yes, and even if you disable them manually lag will still be there. I've tried it on my Panasonic, game mode on has a much higher response rate than game mode off with everything disabled.
Interesting. I wonder what else it turns off or changes for game mode. I'll have to try the same thing on my Samsung sometime. Would be worth mucking around with the SteamLink app too (might actually be worth going back to the physical Steam Link via HDMI?).
Outside of game mode, yes. Even if we disable everything, there's baseline processing that's not under user control....
Yeah here we have cheap cell phone plans but for Internet if you want fibre you pay for anything above 100mbs as you only have SaskTel for an option and then I have a 60TB Plex server I share with a bunch of friends so I pay extra to double my upload speed
Context? Also why would DS4 wired be above BT by that much? This seems like an error for sure.
It's not an error. It's a known thing in fighting game tournaments for example.
Ofc. I talk about the spreadsheet. Where is the data coming from. How was it measured. That context.
Man such a weird series to display like that. The fact they have a Daydream VR headset, it's a at least partially streaming console, say "anything you can dream" and showing a Sega Dreamcast makes me wonder if they are actually gonna call the fuckin thing Dreamcast.
They aren't going to call it that if the logo looks like an S.
Streamcast though....
Also, anyone who competes at Call of Duty LAN events (at least MLG ones) nowadays has to use a device like a Cronus Max to avoid the input lag of wired mode on DS4s that support it. That and the issue that arises when you have 100s of DS4s in wireless mode at a venue.
I thought this was a shop when people were passing around on twitter. Amazing
This...just can't be real - can it!?
The display boxes don't line up with the chronological order of the text underneath?
If you consider 200 down and 20 up through cable crazy then 60€ for an all-in one package (internet,tv and a phone line)

FIber 200 mb here, packaged with HD cable TV, for 72 bucks a months. Didn't realize how expensive that is until I made the dollar conversion. But well, that's a good price for living in Southamerica I guess.
On topic, considering how the Internet is not equally good in all places, my safest bet for this new Google thing: not gonna be a streaming only console, it has to have some digital stuff to be downloaded and play without a constant internet connection.
I'm honestly ready to have my wig scalped, but their offering needs to be strong.
Daddy already has a 4K gaming device (Queen Xbox One X) a PC (Apex/Overwatch box), and a switch (that's collecting dust).
So come through with something fun and worthy of my coins.

I'm an idiot, would this mean that using BT on the DS4 gives you less input lag than a wired controller? How would that be?
Yeah, Bluetooth DS4 has the least input lag. No idea how or why....
I get 360 download, unlimited data use, telephone, and TV (I think it's like cable to US folk) for €69 a month.
It's not great but that was the best speeds we had in Ireland until very recently.
$29 for 10Gb (not a mistake) up/down.
Edit: That package came with all of this:
Internet
- 10 Gbit/s (10'000 Mbit/s) maximum upload and download speed
- Fiber box and accessories included: Router, Wi-Fi (WLAN) 4X4 MIMO, 10 Gbit/s Ethernet port.
TV
- Apple TV 4K 32GB included
- 250 channels included
- Multi-box/ multiple screen(5 signals)
- Access to Salt Video(Films & series)
- Cloud recording of up to 500 programs
- Pause/start & Replay function 7 days
Telephony
- Unlimited calls to fixed and mobile networks in Switzerland
- Best tariffs for international calls
- High Definition voice quality
And this is in one of the most expensive countries on the planet.
The most interesting thing here is what software google will be developing and whether it will be open source. MS is, of course, proprietary and designed for vendor lock-in. Ideally, we will get some serious open source investment going on that can challenge MS on the streaming front, and maybe even used for things like Linux gaming.
