Display lag is an important consideration in any competition that involves a screen. In an environment where all players are supposedly at the peak of their abilities, external handicaps like display lag become increasingly more obvious and problematic. In extreme circumstances, some actions might be mathematically impossible to react to due to the screen not being able to keep up. | Display lag is an important consideration in any competition that involves a screen.

Owing to concerns over display lag, tournaments for ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Project M'' heavily favour setups with older, {{s|wikipedia|cathode ray tube}} televisions (more commonly known simply as CRTs) that lack significant display lag. As ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' do not properly support [[screen|4:3 screen ratios]] that most CRT televisions use, modern televisions must be used for the games' tournaments. As a result, televisions that feature a "game mode" that reduces the effects of input lag or are specifically marketed as a model intended for gaming are highly recommended at said tournaments, with other models sometimes being turned away if a tournament accepts donated setups. | Owing to concerns over display lag, tournaments for ''Smash 64'', ''Melee'', ''Brawl'', and ''Project M'' heavily favour setups with older, {{s|wikipedia|cathode ray tube}} televisions (more commonly known simply as CRTs) that lack significant display lag.
