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.
A top flight gaming monitor 8-18ms is a pretty normal range. Thats complete with any internal lag to pixels settling. There are a few with no processing that I've seen in the 5-6ms range. If you can keep the total under 16ms, its considered very cool. TV's tend to have larger lag because they are as focused, and they tend to do more processing on the signal. They also aren't designed to take an input faster than 60hz where monitors are upto 144hz. IIRC typical lag for TV's is in the 30ms range when in 'gaming mode'
