The problem was a loose connection on the neutral wire.

A few days ago, an electrician replaced the bimetallic connector that joins the neutral wire in my house to the wire coming from the transformer on the street. Apparently, the old connector was a bit loose.
Then, in the last few days, I started noticing several things in my house: the light bulbs are brighter, the fridge is cooling better, the TV picture is sharper, and the internet connection is faster.
It's worth mentioning that months ago I solved all the input lag problems with a hybrid inverter and a 12V LiFePO4 battery, and now when I plug my PC into the wall, I get the same feeling as with the inverter and battery.
I should also mention that the outlets in my house aren't grounded.
Please excuse my English.

Hi, can you tell me which inverter and battery you used? Thanks
PD: Do you use solar panels to charge the battery? Or do you use the mains electricity? Do you disconnect the inverter every time you play? Thanks

Voltages were ok ?

PowMr 1kW inverter and SJY 200Ah 12V battery, both purchased from AliExpress. The inverter requires its own grounding system.
Using a 500W solar panel and being connected to the electrical grid gives the same results, but you have to turn off the switch every time you play so that the inverter has its own 0V reference.

Yes, I get 124.8 L1 and 125.1 L2

explain your system, l1 + l2 is your phace-neutral connection?

My system consists of two 127V phases and a neutral. The neutral is grounded at the base of the meter.
L1 + L2 = 254V (to power air conditioners)
L1 + N = 124V
L2 + N = 125V
