Console and PC gamer who measures HDMI chains, input lag, and lip-sync across TVs and soundbars. Turns specs into practical pipelines.

During a stealth run, footsteps lagged behind the crouch animation and my shot landed late. Weekend gone, I traced the chain: console to TV, TV to bar - processing everywhere. Switched to passthrough, enabled eARC, locked game mode. The map felt immediate again; I stopped blaming my aim.

I prioritize latency budget, passthrough integrity, and lip-sync stability over cosmetic extras.
