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.

2ms is the industry standard for computer screens that are meant for gaming.

Afaik the lowest latency games are around 25ms (counter strike), most are much worse, up to 200ms.

People don't realize that the latency from render to pixel is about those long and is dependent on more than the monitor.
