You can get 37.5ms latency on a MacBook Air running at 60Hz: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15488191

I think if you use a 120Hz monitor on a Linux text console, it would be sub 20ms.

That's awesome!

I love that one reply:

    "This is incredible. Single user mode 
    feels like the screen updates BEFORE 
    pressed the keys, like it is time 
    travelling. I guess I've used to the 
    high latency on newer computers."
Do you know of any games/emulators that run in such an environment? (Maybe stuff like RetroPie does by default, I have no idea!)
Closest I can recommend is FreeDOS to run games natively. It's so good but the drivers are very basic. It does have a package manager.
