I used the Sunshine game streaming software and the WiiU homebrew port of Moonlight to get game streaming working on a WiiU gamepad. It's sort of like a bootleg Steam Deck, and it works surprisingly well, but it mostly just made me want a Steam Deck.

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

the wii-u console, required to run the gamepad is loud, and the display is 854 x 480 pixels

480 would be NTSC. PAL was higher resolution. But, yeah, the latency was basically imperceptible but the fan noise was real.

No. NTSC is 525 lines and PAL is 625. This includes the overscal lines.

NTSC has a visable line count of 480, hence 480i. PAL has 576 lines visable, or 576i.

Last time, when I used it, to take my save games over to cemu I was really appreciative how quiet my gaming pc was in comparison haha. I miss fire hopping in Mario kart :(
