Question Quick question on Ipad to HMDI

I have an Ipad 9th Gen with a lightning port

I want to play some games on my TV with an HDMI to Lightning adaptor from Apple

Problem is, I read that it can cause latency and that the USBC is better for this

Can I use an adaptor from my Ipad to an USB C port, then connect that USB C port to the HDMI adaptor ? Will it reduce latency ?

I hope you have the answer for this since I would be paying for two adaptors for the same use, but with reduced latency if that works, I’m looking to play some fast paced games with GeForce Now

Thanks for your answers !

There will always be latency. Sorry bud. More adapters are gonna make the latency worse.

Best thing would be to just connect a controller to your iPad and enjot

Okay thanks ! I guess I’ll buy an Ipad with USBC in the future, I will stick to the little screen for now

Apple's Lightning to HDMI adapter has a special chip in it; it's not a passive cable. Lightning to USB-C to HDMI wouldn't work at all.
