minus-square@Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•6 months agoI bought one back in the day but always had input/video lag. Does yours work smoothly?

minus-square@illi@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish1•6 months agoFair. It’s not foolproof like that. All networks are not created equal and also different people may have different thresholds for noticing

I have lag even with wired connection.
