What causes delay lag
Usually it's the frame and speed of the game vs. the speed and frame rate of your TV, which aren't designed with games in mind, per se. Hence "game mode" setting, which does either sync or "upscales" the rate, for lack of better word. This is why gaming desktop monitors make a point to point out their frame rate, refresh rate, etc. And why GPUs can sync all of this together.

A good example of where this could be a problem was Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which suffered input lag when using modern TVs of the time (the first smart TVs) compared to traditional/CRTs at the time. And early game modes weren't as good as syncing as they are now. And for a game as twitchy as Smash, input lag is noticeable and detrimental.

But a game requiring game mode? That's just trash game design.
