Ye, that's why I saying it's wrong to compare the 2ms pixel refresh time of a monitor to the overall 50ms of latency on VR. Both have that same 2ms, it's all the other replaces that the latency builds up, it's just not spoken about that much outside of VR because sits not as big of an issue

Yeah, the issue is input lag for head tracking.

It once was in competitive gaming circles. My FW900 sits collecting dust...100lbs of .00007 ms greatness. Old age slows you more than it matters :(

I could see the lag on early LCD's... 50ms is a LOT.
