Reply To: TV compatibility report thread

LG UN7000 55 inch

Tested about 12 hours of SNES on this, with both Line 2x and 3x modes. It has never dropped video signal. (Although about once every 10 minutes the audio drops out for a second, but I think this is due to my sound system and not the TV.)
The TV even works with Line 1x mode and knows that it is a ‘240p’ signal.
My SNES does not have a “dejitter” mod. I only just found out such a thing existed because of this thread.

Tested Sega Saturn for about five minutes, seemed OK.

I chose this TV based on the RetroRGB video at https://www.retrorgb.com/two-cheap-4k-tvs-for-retro-gaming.html which claimed that an older model of LG TV worked well, and also based on the table at https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/table/29642 which shows the TVs with the lowest input lag at 1080p 60Hz. This TV has 11ms of lag, apparently, which is pretty good. The very best TV on that table is still 9.2ms. I have also tested the input lag with my Leo Bodnar lag tester and got a result of around 11.9ms, which is probably within the margin of error.

However, after picking this TV out (I originally wanted the LG UN7300), I have read some bad reviews, specifically that this TV has “RGBW” subpixels and not “RGB” subpixels, which is apparently bad. I don’t have a microscope to verify this myself, but I can tell that the colors sometimes look worse than even my old 2007 model Samsung TV, and it is not super impressive with displaying my PC desktop.

I found this thread because I am curious, what other new TVs with similar low input lag, are compatible with the OSSC/SNES? I have a big return window on this LG UN7000, so I am considering trying a different TV instead.
