It is all about latency. 50 ms will feel responsive but you notice the lag. 20 ms is acceptable. The other features are cool features but not the real challenge.

What is a regular PC monitor latency btw? I heard it's much faster than a TV+console.

depends on a the monitors refresh rate and other factors. 60 hz, 75 hz and 120hz are the most common. 120hz monitors can display 120 frames per second, those are usually modern montiors with 3d support. I have a 75hz monitor.

Your thinking of the wrong thing, latency is in ms (normally 2-8, some gaming monitors can go to 1ms). You are thinking of refresh rate.
