Faster screen refresh rate improves the pixel switching latency (frame to frame). How do modern OLED screens in Game Mode compare to old CRTs for input latency (cable to screen)?


While oled have 0ms pixel refresh time, input lag is still around 5-10ms.


5ms input lag isn't a dealbreaker. Even the Apple II was around 30ms touch-to-pixel latency, limited by its ~30fps.

According to the above, the 2017 iPad pro with Apple Pencil replicated the Apple II's 30ms touch-to-pixel latency, four decades later! (Current M4/M5 models are supposedly 5-10ms, so perhaps a good emulator platform...)

Congratulations, Apple - seriously.
