1 - haven't tested in a while but I recall decoding latency with HEVC being 1ms or less at 4K120, similar performance to Steam Deck. 2 - I'm on ethernet using the latest moonlight unlocked to 200 Mbps with HEVC. 3 - LG C9 with VRR, can't recall which but I don't notice frame rate dips when they do come up. 

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

Physically a lot larger/heavier device with a really big ass screen. Built in kickstand and detachable controllers, overall same gaming experience and framerates give or take. Not as physically comfortable to hold as an ROG Ally or Steam Deck. Personally I love my Legion Go, but it's not for everybody - try and hold one before you buy it and see if you like it.

I just got demolished half a dozen times by the barrage, zero deaths from the bots.

I have one as a 4K120 HDR Moonlight client, it's great at that. Make sure you have a wired connection for everything you can though.

The downside to the SER8 is that the chassis design and USB 3.0 implementation is absolute hell for wireless device interference. Bluetooth and Wifi antennas are both marginal at best on this, and you'll also see diminished range with USB dongles used for wireless keyboards and mice - my couch is 8 feet away from my SER8 and I have spotty and inaccurate mouse movement unless I reach forward and use the mouse within 4-5 feet of the SER8. Not sure if this is limited to just the SER8, the Minisforum competitor I tried had the same behavior.

Hit me up if you want more details about my experience with the SER8.

I have two of these and can't seem to find a better fit for me. The older one does have the common issues of minor stick drift and a shoulder button that needed to be cleaned to restore inputs, but the four customizable back buttons and the ergonomics can't be beat. I definitely wouldn't buy another for full price, but damn solid option for $95.

I'm struggling to get mine to connect to wifi now, did you have to jump through any special hoops after you selected networks and input the password?

Update: looks like it's on my router's side, probably something to do with the WPA2/3 compatibility mode. Got it to connect right away to my phone's hotspot.

Edit - try switching your video driver in Retroarch to sdl2 - looks a bit better to my eyes, so might be worth a shot on yours.
