Found a way to play PS2 games on modern TV with almost no lag

I got tired of hooking up my PS2 to my 4K TV and dealing with that awful input lag. Everything felt sluggish, like the controller was moving through mud. Tried a bunch of HDMI adapters from Amazon and they all gave me the same problem or looked terrible. Finally grabbed a used CRT monitor from a local seller on FB Marketplace for $40. Plugged my old consoles into that thing using component cables and it's night and day. No lag at all, colors look proper, and the scanlines make everything look how I remember. Only catch is the thing weighs like 50 pounds so my back hates me. Anybody else go back to an old screen just for retro gaming?

I used to think scanlines were overrated but you changed my mind.

Hell yeah, now you're seeing the light. Nothing beats that old school blur hiding all the ugly pixels.
