> If you have 0.5s gap between audio and video, you hardly notice.

If your video comes later than audio and depicts human mouth talking you would notice it ever for 1 frame (0.02s for 50 frames/s) delay; but it's true that if audio is delayed relative to video, then 0.5s is hardly noticeable.



This is because in the real world audio always arrives late compared to images. Our brain is trained to compensate.

Personally I start getting annoyed when the delay is above +200ms or under -50ms.
