This video is meant to educate people on the reasons you'll want to avoid using scalers designed for TV signals for video games. It's also a warning against those awful companies that use those chips on purpose and sell them in cables "designed for video games". Please help spread this information and stop both the (accidental) misuse of TV scalers...and hopefully stop companies from making this junk in the future!

As a note, Phonedork has been warning us about these scalers for YEARS. The info in this video is nothing new, it's just the latest in many videos made to demonstrate how important it is to use good scalers. Check out Phonedork's perfectly articulated example of bad scalers here at 16:40: https://youtu.be/Ucm7k64llO0?t=1001
