In current times with digital drivers, enormous TVs, triple-buffering, and wireless controllers, I very much agree. Would you know what contributed to the ItD latency discrepancy back in 2004? I would imagine a CRT TV vs a monitor to have much more similar latency, as well as a wired gamepad versus a wired KB+M. But I'm far from a specialist in this kind of thing.
