A 1000Hz display necessarily has a latency of 1ms between frames. For 100Hz, that’s 10ms.

But this is only the lower bound. You have to include all other sources of latency, such as software, input hardware, drivers, graphics card, etc.

Ahhh, now I see the connection! It's the update interval. I had to chew on it for a minute but the math checks out.
