This is one of those things that make me question whether I experience the world fundamentally differently than many of you.

I have never, ever felt “latency” in editor UI. Any editor UI. It’s editing text for Pete’s sake. I can only type so fast, or read so fast.

You probably do. Many people just never notice that. It's not about typing or reading fast either, it's just about how it feels. Typing into something with shitty latency feels like dragging my fingernails across a chalkboard.

It's the same with high dpi monitors. Some people (me included) are driven absolutely insane by the font rendering on low density monitors, and other people don't even notice a difference.

Honestly, consider yourself blessed. One less thing in the world to annoy you.

Yes, I can perceive that latency, if I am actively looking for it. No, it has absolutely no effect whatsoever on my ability to work. The latency is far, far below what could possibly affect neural feedback loops, even on the slowest editors. And it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

Low-dpi font rendering also isn’t an issue for me, unless it is so bad as to be illegible (which no modern system is).

We really do perceive things differently.

Have you ever used a display running over 60hz refresh rate?

Has it ever impacted your ability to read, or type?
