Talking Display Lag with Nick & Zach Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

This week's podcast is an open discussion about display lag, featuring Nick from HD Retrovision and Zach aka Voultar. We discussed some of the findings and questions left unanswered from my latest video "Mythbusting Display Lag", which itself is a culmination of over ten years of testing. Hopefully we helped make things easier to understand, while also setting clear next steps for a follow up. As always, these long-form podcasts are also available as a video, with links on the main page: https://www.retrorgb.com/talking-display-lag-with-nick-zach.html

While everything needed to make this happen is the result of many people in the scene coming together, Calamity's posts have been helping me since pre-RetroRGB days and I really wanted to have a chat with him!
