yeah...you're basically better off keeping an eye on thrift stores for an old CRT tv...my understanding is the lag is intentional to compensate for the delay in the older tvs...
The upshot is if you can find one, those old tvs were basically tanks, so as long as you don't drop it, it should last for years to come.
Actually, the opposite is true. Older TVs' electron beam was basically wired directly to the analog inputs coming from the signal source -- in this case, the console. And the inputs from the source were driven directly by the code, so if the code thinks that it is displaying "frame X", the TV would indeed be displaying "frame X".
Modern TVs have to run everything through a labyrinth of analog/digital converters, and every one of those causes small delays.

thank you, I legit couldnt remember... Those old CRTs were fantastically built machines...
...I'll never forgive my future mother-in-law for leaving a high-def one in Hock...
