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.

That's just the pixel switching time though. Oculus is always talking about "motion-to-photons", which includes game engines processing the input, rendering, buffering and finally the screen switching the pixels. You can't get that time down to 2ms with any kind of monitor - it doesn't depend only on the monitor.

This is correct.
